Bird Spirit Medicine - Totem Feather Wands
With Good Intentions totem feather wands are incredibly special, unique and one of a kind, lovingly handcrafted in Sydney, Australia using shamanic practices.
Our totem feather wands are made from natural feathers, with the intention to invoke and honour the spirit bird animal, adding a meaningful and sacred element to their significance.
We carefully select moulted feathers from specific birds with symbolic significance. We combine these feathers with other materials such as wood, leather, or crystals, using various techniques like binding, weaving, or wrapping, to construct a feather wand that embodies spiritual power and connection to the spirit realm. The process involves deep reverence, intention, and the application of traditional knowledge passed down through generations.
Bird spirit medicine is a concept rooted in various spiritual and Indigenous beliefs. It refers to the symbolic and metaphorical significance of birds in connecting humans with the spiritual realm. Birds are often seen as messengers, carrying messages from the divine or the spirit world.
They are associated with freedom, intuition, transformation, and higher consciousness. Bird spirit medicine encourages individuals to embrace their own inner wisdom, trust their instincts, and soar above life's challenges.
It invites people to observe and interpret the behavior and characteristics of birds as signs or omens, guiding them on their spiritual journey.
By attuning oneself to the energy and symbolism of birds, individuals can find inspiration, guidance, and a deeper connection to the spiritual aspects of existence.
