General

The Seanchan believe that their lives are governed by omens, which tell them of the weave of the Pattern

Meanings

An owl calling at dawn

A death (WH, Ch. 14).

Rain without clouds

An unexpected visitor (WH, Ch. 14).

A bird circling three times above someone's head

Tuon sees this and interprets it as omen to stay closes to Mat (KoD, Ch. 26).

A black dove

Bad news/death. Tuon sees a black dove when she hears of Turan's situation in Arad Doman and believes it means he will not return alive (TGS, Ch. 19).

A hawk and three Towers

A difficult decision. Tuon sees a pattern like three towers in the sky and a hawk passing between them and takes it as an omen (TGS, Ch. 19.

Quotes

"How did these people live, not knowing the omens? Had they no desire to understand the visions of fate the Pattern was giving them? (Tuon, The Gathering Storm, Chapter 19).
