Hello Saints,

This message is for Tuesday, 27th December considered to be the 3rd day of Christmas.

Christians believe that the 12 days of Christmas mark the amount of time it took after the birth of Jesus for the magi to travel to Bethlehem for the Epiphany. 

Indigenous people believe that feathers are also messages from the spiritual realm. 

They also believed that the hollow tube that makes up the center of a feather was a way to not only receive but also send messages and prayers to Great Spirit. 

Many sacred Indigenous ceremonies use feathers to heal, bring balance, and cleanse places and people. 

Peacock feathers are a spiritual symbol of leadership, peace, and regeneration. 

Chicken feathers indicate that you may need to keep pecking to see what is below the surface.

Owl feathers symbolize wisdom, and the ability to see things normally, even in the dark.

Turkey feathers symbolize abundance, pride and fertility

Sometimes the appearance of a feather is just a reminder that you are not alone. That you are supported on your spiritual, emotional, and physical journey.

When you come across a feather, take the time to understand its message for you. You never know, it could be just the answer you need right now. 

Remember, the universe doesn’t make mistakes and every message reaches us just when we need it the most. May it be so! A’ho!
