The Lore

Feather

Freedom, guidance, and the line between the earthly and the spiritual.

Origins & tradition

Feathers have held symbolic importance across many cultures throughout history. Because of their connection to birds and the sky, they have often been associated with freedom, spirituality, communication, honor, and the connection between the earthly and spiritual realms. Their specific meanings vary greatly between cultures and traditions.

Modern meaning

Today, feathers are often embraced as symbols of freedom, hope, guidance, transformation, and spiritual connection. They can also represent letting go, rising above challenges, trusting your journey, and moving through life with strength and grace.

These meanings find their way into the dreamcatchers, mandalas and amigurumi I make. See what I offer, or read the rest of the lore.
