Honoring the medicine of the winged ones comes in many forms, one of which includes the care and use of feathers in our devotional work. There are also teachings regarding the feather itself as a map of life’s journey. Many traditions across the world recognize the energy, spiritual connection and the component of story that feathers bring into ceremony and daily use. Feathers used regularly as tools require care and maintenance and respect for what they represent.
In this class, I will talk about the feather as tool for healing the self while I demonstrate the cleaning and the “Bringing Back to Life” that happens when working with them as well as some of the different ways of using them in a healing or spiritual practice. I will also discuss some of the indigenous protocols associated with feathers as well as the legalities regarding fathers. Working with the winged ones is a physical, energetic and transformative process that occurs with patience. Taking care of these tools is just a small part of the responsibility that comes with the medicine. This can be a meditative tool to reflect on our individual journey or a way of honoring the messengers of the skies.
