Aspire Medicine Fan

Primary Wing: Pheasant

About Medicine Fans

Feathers have traditionally been used for a variety of purposes. They are an integral part of Shamanic practice, used as regalia and tools for smoke cleansing and healing.

A shaman can use feathers during a healing session. Medicine fans are made of entire bird wings and move energy around in a client's energy field. They can also be used as smoke-cleansing fans, wafting smoke from burning herbs. Feather fans during smoke cleansing give you better control over where you are sending the smoke.

Each fan will also bring animal medicine for the animals who gave their parts to the fan. The fan is a living entity and can greatly ally your spiritual practice. I recommend that you journey with your fan when you first receive it to discover what medicine that fan will bring to your practice and what skills it can teach you.

Animal Medicine

Pheasant Wing: Master of clairvoyance and clairaudience, these stunning birds only fly short distances, as they prefer being in the ground foraging for berries, seeds, and grains. They are always keenly aware of the environment around them. Pheasants help us to find our core authenticity, own our power, and find our inner and outer beauty. They can be fearless when needed, taking flight over 60 mph to escape a predator. Being a prey animal, the pheasant chooses to live on its terms; it knows its strengths and is not afraid to use them to make the best of any situation.

Red Fox Fur: The fox is a totem of cunning and magick. Its adaptability rivals almost any other mammal, and its cleverness is vital to survival. Thanks to its beautiful coat, the fox can blend into its environment and only be seen when desired, giving it a significant advantage as a predator and prey. The fox’s keen senses teach us to pay attention before taking action. Fox medicine is about being prepared and observing the world around you so you don’t get caught off guard. Fox is a fantastic teacher for shapeshifting.

All of the fans made by White Thunder Bear are sourced from cruelty-free animal parts. Feathers and wings are created from birds that either shed them naturally, died of natural causes, or were consumed for food, where using all of the parts of each animal is an honoring of the animal. Furs and leather are sourced from the same supplier that sources parts for first families.
