Primary Wing: Mallard/Duck
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.
Crystals

Animal Medicine
Mallard/Duck: Mallard's medicine carries a gentle energy, a strong focus on the Divine Feminine, and a deep connection to elemental water. Mallard, as a teacher, teaches emotional comfort and protection. They also represent the astral plane and are associated with the human emotional state. Mallard shows us how to swim through the various waters of life so that we do not get tangled up in the debris floating around us. It teaches us to protect ourselves from negative emotions as we glide through those waters.
Muskrat Fur: The Muskrat Spirit is often seen as a symbol of adaptability, perseverance, and resourcefulness. Muskrats are known for their ability to thrive in various environments, symbolizing the importance of adaptability in the face of challenges. Additionally, muskrats are associated with water, representing emotional depth and intuition.
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.
