Feathers - Spiritual meaning

"Each time you pick up a feather it is a reminder that you are on the right path and that your life is sacred again"



Some cultures believe if you make a little wreath of feathers and place it beneath a sick person’s pillow, it will speed their recovery.
In olden times, feathers were placed in doorways with the intent of halting wandering children from passing through, and were also burned beneath the bed during a difficult childbirth to ease the process.


The different colours of feathers are said to have different meanings....
White feathers for peace and calling a truce, peacock feathers for pride, red feathers for war and strength.

Finding a white feather is said to be a sign that your Guardian Angel has visited you and left you a feather from their wings to let you know that they are watching over you, guiding you, or to acknowledge your thoughts.

"We each have a Guardian Angel.
 Talk to them, they listen.
Sometimes they leave us a sign 
That they are near, watching 
over us and guiding us..
Next time you find a white feather, 
Accept this as a gift and a sign that 
You are being protected.
If you are feeling disconnected, take some time alone... 
Close your eyes, imagine the white light 
All around you and breathe it in. 
As this light fills your being  you will feel 
More connected and in time 
you will feel Your Angel. 
They never leave our side."
