Feather

The feather is lightness made material. Egyptian tradition places the feather of Ma’at against the heart of the dead at judgment — the heart must weigh no more than a feather. Many Indigenous North American traditions regard eagle and hawk feathers as among the highest honors conferred, and a feather appearing in a dream is often received as a blessing. Celtic lore associates feathers with druidic visions. A feather drifting down in your dream may mark the close of something heavy; a feather you pick up, a gift acknowledged. Notice the color: white feathers are classically associated with spiritual presence, black with protective magic.
