Feathers
are used in spells and ceremonies to create or symbolize change. They are
used to help focus concentration while carrying out spells and rituals.
The medicine bag
often includes special feathers which have meaning to the wearer and are
used to attract good luck and drive away evil.
Feathers are
ruled by the element of air. This makes them good to assist in
communication. But each feather also has its own special properties
and powers, depending on the bird it came from, its color and other
factors.
A pigeon feather
is not as helpful in defense as a feather from a bird of prey.
It is best to use
feathers you have found yourself rather than purchase them. But feathers
you have purchased can work nearly as well.
