THE MAGIC OF FINDING A FEATHER
Feather Drops & Finds are Magical Moments in Time
Finding a feather is often a magical moment in time that transports and transcends you between dimensions. At that very mystical moment of the feather find, it is an interdimensional experience that you can extend even further. It is all a matter of energy and awareness.
At the end of the day, feathers are an easy way that Spirit or even our Higher Self (soul) uses to allow us to cross dimensions and experience that higher connection that many of us are craving. It forms a bridge between the ordinary and non ordinary worlds.
When you find a feather in a magical way, in one way or another God / Spirit, a higher energy, is communicating with you and showing their support and guidance. You can simply know and revel in the fact that the universe is beautifully interacting with you.

How do Feather Signs Appear? “A feather is a miraculous thing... we barely even notice them poking out of our pillows,
or caught on a gentle breeze, or bobbing along the surface of a lazy river, caught in the eddies and rushing vortexes as it’s swept downstream. But a feather is a feat of engineering. And this feather, the one that must have been slipped beneath my bedroom door, is a beautiful one to be sure.” - Callie Hart |

It is amazing how the feather can come into your life, it's presence, positioning and location seeming out of this world. It can be uncanny where you might find them.
The magic of it is that Spirit finds a way to synchronistically align the feather with your whereabouts and then nudge you to take notice.
A special feather gift might languidly sit in the doorway or stick out from the cracks of the pavement, staring you right in the face. Or, it might lay gently on the sand, ground or bush between leaves.

You might find one at work, in your room or in an unexpected place that doesn't otherwise make any logical sense.
I once found a feather in a bag, for example. Sometimes it seems as if it was placed right there on your path right in front of you - and you know it's for you.

HOW TO KNOW IF YOUR FEATHER IS A SIGN
The Signs Your Feather is a Sign
I have received feather signs in ordinary, unordinary and even extraordinary ways.
Any feather that comes your way may be a sign. It is especially a sign if it comes in a magical way, sticks out or you find it in an odd place. But really it is the thought or feeling that you have at the moment or after the fact that counts, and it is not to be dismissed. If you believe that your feather is a true sign, then trust in that.
When a feather is a big, true sign it is usually really trying to catch your attention (outside of appearing in odd or noticeable places) it might somehow shimmer, shine, wave or blow about in the wind.
The magical feather experience is even more heightened when you witness it falling falls down from the sky and landing on your lap or right beside you, for example.
But it can also be a seemingly ordinary experience...

Feather signs often appear on your path in front of you, or even at your doorstep. The feather might just stick out, glow, or catch your attention somehow.
I've had a feather appear mysteriously in my bag, flutter at me from high up in a roof gutter, and plenty that simply laying languidly on the floor somewhere.

Keep in mind that feather signs can come in all sorts of ways, shapes and forms. And all different types of feathers, whether real or not can be signs.
Whether you find a real feather that has drifted away from its bird or dangling from a dreamcatcher, a fake feather that has fallen from a costume or craft set, or you see a feather shape in your coffee cup, shadow on the wall or feather print pyjamas, they are all examples of signs.
Spirit uses whatever it can to get the message through. the only difference, which the angels are whispering in my ears right now, is that real feathers carry the energy of the bird from which they are from, therefore adding an extra energy and sacredness. But signs are signs and equal all the same.

Self Doubt & Trusting Your IntuitionIt is natural to have self doubt about whether a feather is indeed a sign. Often our mind or ego will question the significance and shake off the experience as being an insignificant coincidence.
We might tell ourselves we are trying to create meaning out of nothing. Others might criticise you for seeing something that is not there. From my experience, it is important to trust your own intuition and don't question it. If you believe it is a sign, it is a sign. If you are unsure, that's okay - see how you feel over time and don't forget that Spirit is always around us and will use feathers or other items as a vessel of their communication again, and you can even ask for one, or further clarification and validation yourself. |

EXAMPLES OF FINDING FEATHERS
Once, when I had a strong feeling I was being guided by a male spirit guide, I asked for a sign in the form of a blue feather. I picked blue, because I felt that it was unlikely or uncommon as a feather color.
Well in exactly one week's time, I was in the outdoor area at the school I worked in, and as I approached the classroom, all over the ground and steps were dozens and dozens of blue feathers strewn all over the place. I was absolutely amazed and in that moment of wild discovery, goosebumps covered my body.
What was interesting in this instance is that these were not feathers from birds as one would expect, instead they were fake feathers, most likely that had been used for art or drama classes. It taught me a valuable lesson and truth - that lessons can come in any way, shape or form, they don't need to necessarily be literal.

My children are often sign-bearers, delivering me feathers from their playtime travels. I have had many beautiful feather experiences and have watched one fall down from the sky languidly onto my daughter's lap while we had a picnic in our backyard! We both marveled in the divine magic of the moment.
On this particular day I intuitively knew it was also a sign from the angels validating that my spontaneous idea to drop everything and have a random picnic lunch with my children was heavenly sent, and I had followed my intuition.

On another day, I was outside in my backyard. I closed my eyes and asked the fairies (silently, in my mind) to show themselves to me or give me a sign of their presence.
STRAIGHT AWAY, without delay, my four year old son came to me and said he had something to give me. He looked right into my eyes in his little wise way, being a sensitive, intuitive child and gave me a feather!
I couldn’t believe it. I smiled with joy and felt such deep love and tingles. Then I asked my son what made him give me the feather, to which he replied:
“THE FAIRIES!!!” I asked him how he knew, and he confidently retorted: “I just do!” (being the smart little claircognizant angelic soul that he is).

THE MEANING OF FINDING FEATHERS
The Top 3 Spiritual Reasons for Finding Feathers
|
1. A celestial gift and cosmic hello (the universe is interacting with you).
2. An angel sign (or sign from your spirit guides). 3. A sign from a loved one in spirit. Ok, let's now take a closer look at each category... |
1. Feathers are a Celestial Gift & Cosmic Hello
Just like seeing numbers like 11:11, receiving a feather sign is a magical moment to hold close to your heart. But furthermore, rather than being something ethereal and seemingly imaginary, it is a tangible sign - something that you can quite literally hold in your hand, and if you feel guided, take home with you.
Your sacred feather find is a mark, a trace from the higher realms, a celestial gift and physical sign to express to you that your higher consciousness is connected and co-creating with the universal mind of Spirit.
It is a cosmic way of saying hello, momentarily transporting you above time and space and connecting you to otherworldly realms.
Through your energy and awareness, you drew the feather to magnetize towards you and your individual reality. It entered your 'field' as a response to your call to the universe, so one way or another, you manifested it energetically.
Sometimes feathers just come to comfort you, or show you that you are not alone. Feather finds also can be validation to any questions you have been asking. Just like a trail of breadcrumbs, these celestial treasures offer clues, comfort and support along your path.
The sign your receive will be in alignment with your thoughts, guiding you to receive the answers or connection that you have been seeking.
Enjoy the way that Spirit interweaves throughout your life through signs and synchronicities, and embrace the fact you are intermingling with it, being seen and heard, and are paying attention. This means you are having wakeful magical moments of tapping into a higher consciousness, and that is something you can also develop further., for oftentimes, the journey has only just begun.

2. Angel Feathers: "Feathers Appear When Angels are Near"
Have you heard of that saying:
"Feathers appear when angels are near?"
Feathers have such an ethereal quality to them and come to you as sacred gifts, seemingly from heaven. They fall on your path as a sign from the Divine, sent your way in order to comfort you and place you in a state of joy and higher awareness, and that is exactly also the job of the angels. Hence we have the term 'Angel Feathers'.
It is not a stretch to believe that feathers can be angel signs. Angels are often depicted as having wings, even if this is not necessarily the case. As in reality they are ethereal spiritual light beings, they do not have a physical body, Their wings are a representation of their freedom, spirit and light. Because they can be anywhere at any time simultaneously. Like birds, their wings give them that capability of flight, even if it is just metaphorical.
The angels, as Spirit messengers, are showing you that you are on the right track and reminding you of your celestial origins and deep connection to your heavenly home beyond earth.
Angels are here to guide and comfort us and they send us many signs, feathers being just one of them. It is their way to communicate with us and let us know they are indeed there. Receiving a sign is an amazing way to get that spiritual confirmation and validation of their presence and assistance.
You can trust this feeling when you feel it in your heart and have that sacred kind of knowing.
I teach people not to question those feelings, but to rather trust the guidance of their heart and feelings in their body. Read article on how to communicate with angels here.

3. Feathers can be Signs from Loved Ones in Spirit
Not only do angels and spirit guides send you feathers as a sign of unconditional love and to show you that they are near and hear, guide and support you from above; but also your loved ones in Spirit - those who have crossed over to the 'other side.'
A feather, especially a white feathers, can represent that your loved one in spirit is okay, watching over you and at peace.
It is their way to interact with you, by energetically manipulating nature to send you a message and sign from heaven.

ANCIENT MEANING & SIGNIFICANCE OF FEATHERS
The Beliefs of Native People
Ancient people from different cultures such as Aborigines, Egyptians, Celtics and the Native Americans believe that birds and feathers carry stories, mystical meaning and even magic.
The reason why people of so many native cultures also wore feathers on their heads in various forms, is because they saw them as a sacred connection to God the Creator, and the Divine.

The Native American people have a great spiritual understanding about feathers, their colours and meaning.
They would take the utmost care of any feathers that came their way as they saw it as a sacred gift, or a powerful talisman in battle.
Feathers are incorporated in their headpieces and ceremonial attire as a symbol of their communication with the Divine.

Spiritual Meaning of the Shaft of Feathers
When you look at a feather, you will notice that there is a shaft running up the center of it vertically (the white part that looks like a stalk).
The shaft is hollow, thus providing an empty cylinder for energy to run through. So the idea is that your prayers go upwards through the energy stream of the hollow shaft to the Creator up in the heavens.
Then God's blessings come back down to you on earth through the same orifice. So the shaft, in essence, acts as a vessel, channel or portal.
HOW TO INTERPRET THE MEANING OF YOUR FEATHER & EXPLORE IT FURTHER
Interpreting the Meaning of the Feather Sign
You might be wondering why a feather has come your way. This is when you have to ask yourself what you have been thinking, going through or asking for. Perhaps it has come as an answer to your prayers or a validation to whatever spiritual being you might have been connecting with.
Spirit communicates in very elusive ways, and often through our sub conscious mind. Even if you do not understand the meaning of the sign at the time, it could become clearer later, or you may be absorbing it in at a sub-conscious level. Just trust that it is a sign and let go of any doubts.
Don't stress yourself about having to know what it means. Allow yourself to absorb the moment and sit with it for a while. Feel the joy and ecstatic state of connection. Try expanding your awareness when it happens and take your time with it. No need to hurry. Don't force meaning to come through by analysing with your rational brain, allow it to come through intuitively (which is more like a gentle knowing).
Whenever you observe a sign, take note of the following:
1. Don't Stress
2. Examine where, when & how 3. Assess the feather - size, color & (bird) type 4. relax, meditate, ask for further signs, guidance or meaning |
|
It is just a matter of believing, letting go, and staying aware. Signs often remind us to be at peace and relax into the nature and flow of life. The meanings can at times be profound, and at other times quite simple. The best advice when signs happen is to not put any pressure on yourself to understand it.
Take it as an opportunity to connect, take notice of and thank the ever-present Spirit. Once you notice a sign, you will be open to receiving more. Signs often come as a way to get your attention and reconnect you with the magic of life and the Divine.

FEATHER COLOR MEANINGS
Color Energy, Psychology, Meaning & Healing Qualities
Colors not only have energy, but also provide gifts, meaning and healing properties. They but represent themes, qualities and lessons.
In color therapy and healing, colors that we are drawn to or like represent an energy we are going through at that particular time in our life. For example, you might go through a period of loving blue - it is bringing a peace into your life and helping you express yourself during a period of self and spiritual development.
You might oppose the color orange, as you are bocking your creativity or having issues in intimate relationships that are painful and that you do not want to address.
Color therapy understands that painting hospital walls blue will have a calming effect, while red rooms are too stimulating for people, especially children or people with ADHD.

When you find a feather, its frequency will be talking to you on some level. As you hold it, you are entraining with its energy. Not only is there the fragments of the energy of the bird that it has imparted from, but also the environment and the colors upon it. Just like flowers, crystals or other colored objects, a yellow feather will emit a different frequency and energy medicine than a purple one, and so on.
When colors combine, they radiate additional energy (and therefore meaning), and when many colors come together, such as in a multi-colored peacock feather, then there is a smorgasboard of energy, meaning and even healing effects.

PURPLE
Finding a purple feather, or even a feather of another color with purple in it is a rare and special occurence - it is a high level spiritual gift. I always see and sense the exubernce and extra mystical energy surrounding purple or violet in a feather, its energy is quite palpable.

GOLDEN
- Golden feathers can appear as a kind of golden brown, or sometimes a golden yellow type hue. Gold is a very rare, opulent and lucky color. An example of a bird that has golden feathers is the golden eagle.

BROWN
Brown feathers are very grounded and closely connected to earth energy and the root chakra.

GRAY
FInding a gray feather can denote peace and the solving of problems. The color gray is neutral, so if you have been asking a question or seeking a solution, the answer is not black and white but rather gray, and hence perhaps neither a sharp yes or no, but rather something in the middle or a combination of both.

List of Different Feather Color Combinations
Black & White
Black and white striped feather.
|
 Black and white feather.
Black and white mixed feathers can represent the sense of union, duality and the feeling of balance, just as the yin yang symbol signifies.
The combination of blacka nd white frequencies make the feather highly protective and divine. If you are going through difficult times, a black and white feather can be a sign that change and peace of mind is on its way, things will balance out - but it is important to stay focused and to understand that balance is needed in all things. |
All is as it is meant to be, you will get through it - seek a higher understanding and see the lessons within.
Consider releasing what you no longer need and old patterns and energy that does not serve you, to allow in the light of consciousness and the promise of a bright new day.

Black & Purple
Black and purple feathers.
|
 A black and purple feather.
Black mixed with purple represents a very deep spirituality.
I would take finding such a feather as a deeply mystical, treasured sign. It would also give the feeling of enhanced spiritual and psychic protection. |
Black, White & Blue
 Black and blue feathers.
Black, white, and blue mixed feathers are an absolutely beautiful mix of colors.
They can denote that change on the horizon. But I feel there is far more of these colors to offer that will require some deeper meditation. |
Black and blue feather
|
Brown & Black
Brown and black feathers.
|
Brown and black striped pattern (like a pheasant/s feather) can represent a balance between the physical and the spiritual.
I would also read this as grounding, anchoring and integrating spiritual energy and concepts down to the physical level. |
Brown & White
Light brown and white feather.
|
Brown and white combined can signify happiness.
It can also represent being shielded - going under the radar from psychic attack, negative energy or other harm. |
Red & Green
Scarlett Macaw feathers.
|
Feathers with red and green in them or together would denote that you are being assisted financially.
Both those colors (funnily the colors of Christmas) represent money and growth so I would take it as a very lucky sign indeed. There is a sense of fertilising ones wants and seeing them grow. |
Gray & White
|
Gray and white feathers symbolise hope.
The angels also added this channeled messsage: "Gray feathers offer hope and wisdom through the great pasageways of time. They are about the past, present and future coming together in this precise present moment. They offer hope, dignity, poise and requiem for a tired and weary mind. In their truth and substance there is a purity of the divine - through the vestiges of time. The black, white and gray composite of color merge offer a peace and a wisdom that precides through the uppper ions reminds one they are not merely 'here' or 'there,' but rather at 'home' right here in the present moment." - Natalia Kuna |
Blue and yellow feather.
|
Blue is about peace and creativity, and yellow has a brightness, an activation, but also connection to the solar plexus. The message I receive from yellow and blue right now is to trust in yourself and notce what confidence issues might be coming up, or what may be pulling at your natural instinct. What do you feel in your gut? And what it you feel needs to be expressed? Are these two aspect sin baalnce, or is something needing to be addressed? Now that is my intuitive interpretation that is coming up right now. However, you trust your own feelings - the same blue and yellow feather might be telling a different story each time. There are many facets to this, and not just one way of looking at it. |
Red and white feather.
|
Red and white to me represent the lower and upper worlds, the lowest main energy centre of our human bodies (the root/base chakra) and the highest (the crown chakra).
It is about bridging spirit and spirituality with earthly life. It is also about grounding higher spiritual knowledge and development to earth and allowing things to process and assimilate. |
Multi-Colored Feathers
|
Multi-colored feathers can be so vibrant and special. The color combinations can be complimentary or jarring. Either way they will certainly catch your attantion are a rare find. Enjoy their uniqueness and beauty.
In terms of interpretation, trust whatever feelings you get. Examine the main, base color a the starting point, as well as whatever color pops out at you the most, and then go from there. Also, consider which colors in particular are you drawn to, appeal to you - they are speaking to you. In addition, are there any colors that you feel repeled by? All the colors combined will provide a clue and part of the overall meaning and feeliing. Multcolored feathers remind you of the beauty and spice of life. They encourage you to embrace your difference and enjoy your uniqueness, or go out and do something different. |
Finding multi-colrored feathers can represent major shifts and changes. You might be going through a time where there are lots of pieces of the puzzle happening at once or coming together. This can also be a time of lessons. They are a sign of encouragement that prompt you to strive ahead and accept change so that you can positively move forward.
Interpreting Patterns on Feathers
Spotty
Brown and white spotty feather.
|
When a feather has spots on it, the spots can represent negative energy (like tumours in scan) that need releasing and purification. It is about letting go of whatever is blocking or paining you, or holding you back.
Pay attention to the base color of the feather to give you more infromation. For example - lets say you find a white feather with black spots - the black spots could represent all you need to release and the white base color of the feather could represent the state of complete purity and peace you would feel once that is done. |
In other words, the base color might be representing what is in the background, waiting to manifest or come through, but for now the dots might be clouding your vision or stopping you from progressing ahead. You need to embrace and let go of the past so that you can more positively move foward.
But we don't need to necessarily thing of spots as bad things. Did you know that the adjectives 'spotty' and 'spotted' have a slightly different meaning in nuance - 'spotty' denotes something with spots on it, whereas 'spotted' denotes something is marred,
ie: stained with spots. See the subtle, yet important difference?
That's why I chosed 'spotty'. Just like freckles on a face, it's a matter of perception.
You might also like to think of the spots as embracing all of you in your wholeness, despite any perceived blemishes or flaws.

Sample Interpretation of a Black & White Feather with two Spots on it
Black and white feather with two white spots.
Let's examine the image of the black and white feather with two white spots here. I am really intrigued by it. What really stands out is the two spots. I notice also that they are at the top of the feather, like two eyes of a bird.
They also make me thing about higher reality - the spots feel very spiritual and mystical to me. They remind to be in the upper chakras and look up and out into the greater cosmos (the black base color).
The white at the bottom is a reminder of purity, safety and divinity. It is the base in which to start ones explorations. See how it goes - I am at the beginning stages of interpreting this feather but I am not pushing or pressuring myself - i am trusting what i notice and what comes into my consciousness. Just like the way I psychically read an oracle card, I am applying the same basic method to feather interpretation.

Also, of course, consider the colors of the spotty feather. For example in this picture we have a yellow feather with some slightly brown tones to it at the base, with dark color on the top half with yellow dots.
A sample possible interpretation of this that your instincts or brightness might be a little murky. A happier, new you may wish to emerge from any sense of security or insecurity.
Striped
|
What is immediately noticeable about striped feathers is that they are very linear visually. The lines and two colors really stand out and seem for the most part opposing and contrasting. They bring up to mid the notion of polarity and duality. To interpret such a feather, consider how you feel looking at the striped pattern. Then, pay attention to each individual color, then how they interact as a whole. |
Circular
|
It would be rare to find a feather with circular shapes and patterns.
There is a sense of a more of a softness to circular shapes - a unity, wholeness, harmoniousness, coming together and integration. |
Let's take the peaceock feather as an example, with its repeated circular patterns and bright, illustrious jarring color.
The ring shapes have a feeling of a world within a world. The exotic colors feel mystical, illusive and enchanting - like galaxies within galaxies.
I am meditating on this and will provide more information soon.

Feather's Connection with Wings
Feathers, with their connection to wings as a spiritual metaphor, represent a strong celestial connection to the Heavenly realms, as well as the themes of love, truth, faith, protection, new beginnings and rebirth.
Feather's Connection with Birds & Other Winged Creatures
Feathers and feathery creatures such as birds, butterflies, dragonflies, or other kinds of winged animals are all God's form of communicating with you through their appearance as a sign.
Feathers have a connection to birds and wings and wings are generically a symbol of flight as well as freedom. From a metaphysical perspective, this can represent the spiritual journey or quest, and interdimensional travel.
Angels are often depicted with wings as a way of symbolizing their celestial movement and prompt ability to carry out Divine will. Angels represnet moveemnt and flight through the higher dimensions
With both their connection to birds physically and angels symbologically, their overall message is to soar above, look at things from a higher perspective, and know that you are sovereign - you have the power to move beyond boundaries and limitations. They also represent movement and forward progression.

The Meaning of the Feather According to What Bird it is
When you find a feather, see if you can recognize what bird it is from. You will probably gain extra meaning by looking at the bird symbolism of the specific bird it originated from. This is because that creature has its own kind of magic, and its feather is a physical symbol of this that carries its own spiritual medicine and meaning.
Animals can act as totems, omens, guides, protective guardians or spirit messengers. Each animal has a spiritual meaning with higher mystical insight that you can apply to your life journey.
You will probably most easily recognize feathers from seagulls, crows, parakeets and peacocks.
Seagulls for example can represent freedom, releasing fear and seeing things from a higher perspective; and owls represent higher wisdom. But there are many more intrinsic meanings.
If you are a bird enthusiast or interested in further inspection, you can try looking at bird images online (type in the colours of the feather) and see if you can match the feather to the type of bird.
