Bird Feathers: Turkey
About Smoke Cleansing 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 a smoke-cleansing fan, wafting smoke from burning herbs into an area or person. Using feather fans during smoke cleansing gives you better control over where you send 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.
