Turkey Feather Smudge Fan

Description

A five inch wild boar bone handle holds two beautiful Eastern Turkey feathers (a pre-tail and a bronze flat with two small Pheasant feathers). A gray collar of rabbit fur compliments the Turkey feathers and the copper cones complete it. The over-all size is about 13 inches. The Turkey feathers symbolize speed and cunning. The perfect fan for your smudging ceremonies.

The smudging ceremony has been a sacred ritual for Native Americans and other tribal peoples for thousands of years. It is a ritual of cleansing and purification for the physical and spiritual bodies. Smudging is used to cleanse energy fields. Each person, animal, rock, plant, home, has a field around it which can capture negative energy. If this energy is not cleansed, it can create illness for its owner.

It makes sense to keep ourselves and our environment free from disease and negative energies. We know that disease manifests in the physical body, but originates in the spiritual body when the owner consciously or unconsiously chooses to move from a state of balance. We are not separate from our environment, but interconnected. Scientists are proving what Native Americans/First Nations peoples have always been saying. We are ALL related. Only in our minds are we separate from the Whole.

We are individuals, but in order to exist we must have relationships with ALL our relatives; people, animals, rocks, plants. In every moment of our existence, we are in a relationship with something. The smudging ceremony is important to help us rid ourselves of negative energies.

Like all my products, this fan has been cleansed with sage and sweet grass in the Old Way.
