Feather Magick by Bre Geier

In natural magic feathers are used in spells and ceremonies to promote
change. They are used as catalysts to help focus concentration while
carrying out spells and wishes. The medicine bag, also called power pouch or
sachet, often includes special feathers which have meaning to the wearer and
help attracting good luck as well as driving away bad things. Feathers are
often used to focus concentration in spells. Feathers are magically ruled by
the element of air. This makes them good communication helpers. But each
feather also can hold other special powers; depending on the bird it came
from, its color and place of discovery and other factors. The knowledge what
kind of feather is best used for what kind of indent can only be found out
for oneself by trial and error.

A pigeon feather is not as helpful for creating a defense strategy than a
feather taken from a bird of prey. The general rule for future feather
magicians is always to use self found feathers rather than bought ones. A
shop cannot substitute a walk in nature, nor the joy when the wanted feather
is finally found. Feathers are often used to focus concentration in spells
Feathers used for magical undertakings are mainly determined by the energy
which is brought into the feather by the magician him/herself through
concentration and thought. Beside from the energy the magician brings into
the object, feathers hold certain natural abilities.
