We were just reading about feathers and you wouldn't believe the number of beautiful stories we came across
.
The Iroquois apparently used feathers to give thanks for all their bounty. They would have ceremony called the Great Feather Dance. Feathers would be everywhere during this dance. Iroquois would don them as robes, weave them in their hair, and even tie them to animals. This was an act of showing gratitude. It was a process of reverence - of honoring the great gods and goddesses - particularly the triple goddess known as Deohako
.
Many also believe that finding a feather is a sign from heaven - a message from a loved one who passed away. It is an uplifting thought. It makes sense. Feathers are a symbol of the heavens. Feathers have been released from the heavy burdens of the world. Feathers, as the soul, are no longer bound by the world's gravity - they are free to ascend
.
Whatever might be the concept you believe in, isn't it wonderful to own a charm with such symbolic meaning
.
Presenting a double layered necklace with a feather spirit charm and a tiny terrarium with preserved moss in the colors of earth and sky. Because we are all from the earth and most of us long to reach for the skies
.
A wonderful gift to any special soul out there

You can get this special treasure at the link in bio
