FEATHERS

BTM this is what I found on feathers. The first indicates the white feathers are a way of angels getting your attention:

Feathers
White feathers may appear in the most unlikely places. When you have found a white feather, carry it round with you to keep your angel close. Once, when I was teaching an angel seminar, I mentioned that white feathers are a common angel sign. After the seminar a woman said that, despite what she had heard, she was not convinced of the existence of angels. At that very moment another student noticed a pure white feather stuck to the sleeve of her cardigan.

Quote :

Seeing feathers in the Indian Culture is the symbolisim of renewal. The cycle of molting/renewal and youth/maturity is an important facet of the culture.

Quote :

When will I know that my Guardian Angel is around?

Your Guardian angel will show you a ‘calling card', this is a sign to let you know that they are with you. You need to ask your Angel to show you what this is going to be so that whenever you receive this ‘calling card' this will be confirmation of your Angels presence. They may give you physical signs such as a cold breeze on your face or a feeling of someone touching your arm or give you goose bumps. The may leave a small white feather (or another colour) nearby so you can find it, or maybe a small coin. There are many other unique ways they can show you that they are around.

Symbol meaning of feathers deal with ascension and spiritual evolution to a higher plane. Feathers were worn by Native American Chiefs to symbolize their communication with Spirit, and to express their celestial wisdom. Also in the Native American Indian culture, feathers represented the power of the thunder gods, along with the power of air and wind.
Native American Pueblo Indians would pay homage to the Feathered Sun which is a symbol of the cosmos and the center of existence. Another symbol meaning of feathers also revolves around prayer, and the Pueblo use feather sticks as they dance in prayer for rain during solstice rituals.

As a Celtic symbol meaning, the feather was worn by Druids in the form of ornate feathered robes. Celtic Druids donned these robes in ceremonies to invoke the sky gods and gain knowledge of the celestial realm. It was believed that the feathered cloak along with the presence of the sky gods would allow the Druid to transcend the earthly plane and enter the ethereal realm.

The Egyptians believed that feathers were symbolic of sky gods too. Ma'at, the Egyptian goddess of justice, would weigh the hearts of the newly dead in the underworld against the weight of a feather to determine the worthiness of his or her soul.

In Christianity feathers represented virtues. In fact, an image of three feathers were made into signet rings - each feather symbolizing Charity, hope, and faith. These rings were worn as a symbol of a virtuous soul - they were also used as wax seals. The ring would be dipped in warm wax then pressed against documents to seal the closure. The recipient would know the documents came from a virtuous man by the indication of the three-feather symbol in the wax.

In dreams feathers mean travel or the ability to move more freely in life. White feathers in dreams indicate innocence or a fresh start in a spiritual sense.

How often have you stumbled on a white feather in your path? What are your assumptions about its origins? Such feathers may represent many things including, the presence of angels, a heavenly dove, or even a process of your own return to consciousness. Consider how often you seem to stumble upon white feathers and the significance you create inside your own mind. Where do you find them? Shamanism is the most ancient approach to healing. It draws from feathers and spirituality. They empower us to get rid of problems and to reframe health, wealth and happiness. Feathers are one tool that influences our connection to inner energy. White feathers in particular enable ideas to appear in our minds as revelations. What might a being of light be drawing your attention to now?

Wow Wow Wow!

Thank you so much, Spring! As you know, I found 3 more feathers today. The first was pure white, whiter than any of the other feathers. One was creamy white and fluffy, and the third was half black and half white. It is very pretty!

(LittleFire...lol on the pillow fight!)

What if I got a pink one with yellow spots and blue stripes?

The other day I sat under a tree and closed my eyes. After a while there was a small, rather average black feather with white streaks in front of me. I may not have noticed it before.

Spring, love the feathers.

I am always aware when My guides or close relatives are around by either cool air, smell of perfume or colored orbs.
My Daughter and I raise about 130 chickens as a hobby and a way of doing something together, so the fethers are out for us. Grandma always announces herself on Easter, Christmas and all holidays by setting off the smoke detectors. :farao:

Unfortunately, I have found out what my second feather was telling me. Whenever anyone close to my family passes, one of us always finds a feather before it happens....This past weekend, my husband's nephew was in a really bad 4-wheeler accident. I was being told it was going to happen, and because my two oldest were getting ready to go on vacation, I was afraid to listen. There are a few other parts of this story I want to pass along....some sweet things that I saw as signs, but cannot share with my husband at the moment....to soon for him to shine the light on it.

Very sorry to hear about the accident Corin...I hope all will be well with your family
Much love to you

Thank you all for your prayers, the family needs them.

Lots of Love to you all

Feathers for corin!

I mean, oh no, there are feathers for corin!

*Throws...pillows without fethers for corin*

Corin,
Very sad news to hear, My prayers to your family and loved ones.
