Smudging Feather

One of the traditional elements of the smudging ceremony is the smudging feather. Use to waft the cleansing smoke around the body, around items that require cleansing, around a room, and so on.

Thus connecting the Divine Spirit with Mother Earth during the cleansing ceremony. The feathers move the energy from the Aura Body through the sweeping motion. Much like that of a bird in flight. This representation inspire, as one learns to connect with all of Mother Earth through ancient ways.
