Feathers

Feathers have long been used in spiritual practices as tools for energy movement, purification, and communication with the unseen. In smoke rituals (such as using Palo Santo or sacred herbs), feathers are used to guide the smoke through a space, over a person, or around an object — directing energy and intention with care. Spiritually, feathers are also considered symbols of connection to the divine, often seen as signs from ancestors, spirit guides, or the angelic realm. Different feathers may carry specific meanings depending on the bird, colour, and context in which they appear. When used respectfully, feathers are powerful allies in energy work and ritual cleansing.
