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 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 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
Magpie Wing: The magpie is a magical spirit often associated with the occult, intelligence, and insight. It has been said that the Magpie is the most intelligent member of the crow family and is very curious about humans. Because of this, they were believed to be familiars of witches and magicians. They can mimic many human words, and it has been said that, like humans, they cannot be controlled and do what they want. They are also known for carrying off anything that catches their attention, so they are also associated with thieving and deception. Call on Magpie to deepen your knowledge of the occult and improve psychic ability, communication, and intelligence. But beware that the Magpie often does what it wants - it can be a trickster spirit!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.
