Feathers are symbols of the Air, this vibrant element which surrounds us all. Air is the element of communication, of truth and justice. Since Ancient years, feathers were believed to be omens from this plane of existence as the carry the essence of Air. Colored Feathers are in fact a language which can be translated into omens and signs of what’s coming.
Why Air is so important
Air is all around and inside us. In the same Element our consciousnesses are connected. In other words, Air is the Matrix and we all live Online with it. We upload and download memories and thoughts through this Matrix. Moreover, Air acts like a ‘Cloud service’ where all thoughts are stored. Some people have the ability to ‘connect’ in this cloud service and download what other people have seen.
Feathers and the Other World.
Finding Feathers is believed to contact other realms. There is a reason why we portray Angels with wings. They are the messengers, the bearers of truth. Hence feathers symbolize their connection with the Element of Air. What about Fairies? They have wings too.
Moreover, Hermes, the messenger of the Gods has winged sandals which help him fly wherever he wants. The three divine brothers, Gods of Dreams, Sleep and Death, are portrayed as winged angels as they carry the truth from the other Realms.
Colored Feathers and Magic
In a much more simplified way we believe that finding feathers can be seen as contact from the above. The colors of the feathers will give us more details about the essence of the message. Remember, it doesn’t matter if the feather you just found is artificial or natural. It still counts as an omen!
