Throughout time, many cultures have attached spiritual and magical meaning to feathers and the real or mythological animals who fan and flap them. (See Reference 1) According to the website Celtic Attic, a white feather symbolizes purification and spirituality. No matter why you're collecting white feathers--- decoration, craft projects, spiritual learning or just for fun---remember that birds lose their feathers naturally. It is never necessary to harm a bird to get its feathers---that would be very bad magic, indeed.
Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
1)Explore areas in your town where geese, swans or other predominately white birds nest. Parks, ponds and lakes are likely habitats for these types of birds.
2)Contact local poultry farmers and ask if you can come and collect white feathers from their coops or pens. Local 4H organizations sometimes raise poultry on a small scale and might be willing to let you collect feathers from their pens.
3)Take regular walks in heavily treed neighborhoods and parks. Look for white feathers while you get your exercise.
4)Visit your favorite craft store to find white feathers. Though purchasing feathers is not strictly the same as finding them, many craft stores stock several types of feathers for a variety of projects.
5)Experiment with the "Law of attraction." According to the website Law of attraction Info, focusing on and visualizing something you want will attract that object to you. Try thinking of white feathers whenever you leave the house and make an affirming statement such as "I will find a white feather today." See if more white feathers come your way when you are practicing the Law of attraction than at other times.
