Foresight, Grouse Medicine Fan
Primary Wing: Grouse
About Medicine Fans
Feathers have traditionally been used for a variety of purposes. They are an integral part of shamanic practice, and they are used as regalia and tools for smoke cleansing and healing.
A shaman can use feathers during a healing session. Medicine fans are made of whole bird wings and move energy throughout a client's energy field. They can also be used as smoke-cleansing fans to waft 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 significantly enhance your spiritual practice. When you first receive it, you should journey with your fan to discover what medicine it will bring to your practice and what skills it can teach you.

Animal Medicine
Grouse Wing: Grouse embodies the energies of good parenting and protection, even self-sacrifice for the greater good. It has a charming mating dance, sometimes compared to the Whirling Dervishes, who use sacred dance to enter a trance and connect with the Divine. Grouse only participate in group forums in spring for mating, as they prefer a solitary life. Be selective with people in your life - choose good souls who will not break your trust, even when you select some alone time, which is crucial for your mental health. Grouse speaks about the power of controlling your life, your vision, and your quest for greater wisdom. While Grouse remains grounded in common sense, it doesn’t mean you can’t reach toward higher ways of thinking and behaving. Listen to the drumming of your heart and soul. Follow it in the direction it takes you.

Rabbit Fur: Call on rabbit medicine for manifestation and abundance. Rabbits can also move incredibly fast, so the rabbit spirit can help if you feel stuck. Rabbits have a strong association with the moon and the Sacred Feminine. It takes a young rabbit 28 days to become fully self-sufficient. You can also call on the rabbit to help you speed up tasks that seem too long to complete. When working with rabbits, always work with moon timing.
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, die of natural causes, or are 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.
