Sacred Feathers: The Power of One Feather to Change Your Life
Throughout history, feathers have been seen as mystical signs, portents, and opportunities. Author Maril Crabtree has gathered a unique collection of fifty-five modern-day personal encounters with feathers, recounting the inspiring moments that changed the lives of those who touched -- and were touched by -- these cosmic messengers.
Contributors come from every walk of life -- including noted authors Rachel Naomi Remen (Kitchen Table Wisdom), Denise Linn (Feng Shui for the Soul), and Dr. Janet Cunningham (A Tribe Returned) -- as well as therapists, business consultants, lawyers, naturalists, Native American healers, and others who have been renewed by a feather contact. Some of the featured stories include:
-- On the brink of despair, a woman is able to reach her goal with the arrival of a mysterious black feather
-- A young man finds that a feather helps to heal his broken heart
-- One magpie feather teaches a psychologist the lesson of patience
-- A pair of birds help an unhappily married woman make a difficult decision
-- A golden eagle makes a Native American writer's lifelong dream come true

Stories of mystical powers of feathers or signs people interpret from finding a feather especially in an illogical place or certain time of need. I do not necessarily believe this for me but it does brighten my day when I find one or receive one from family or friends because they know I love them and think of me when they find one!

This was a totally life-changing book for me. It's a long story. How I came upon it is an amazing story in itself. But it opened my eyes to things I had deliberately suppressed, ignored, avoided and scoffed at. It changed my perspective for ever.

Interesting stories. Good to know that this experience is shared by others.

Wonderful for anyone who sees validating symbolism or would like to! Stories from a cross-section of people who recognize the magic available to us when we open to it.
