Smudging Feather Ceremony Prayer Hand Wrapped Native American Indian Ritual

Native American Ceremony Prayer Smudge Feather Wand A

This beautiful 2 feather blade contains smudging feathers consisting of two wild turkey feathers with the feather ends wrapped tight with waxed string. Each feather set consists of one hard to find a wild bronze turkey tail and one bronze turkey skirt feather.It measures 16 inches long and 4 inches wide at it's widest point across the top. Our Navajo feather artist will make us several sets of the smudge feathers when the feathers are available so the set may not match exactly as the photo shows as they are all one of a kind and original.

In Native American ceremonies certain herbs are burned separate or together as prayers and are said to “cleanse” ones self or certain areas or items. As the herbs are burned and area cleansed, this is referred to as smudging. As the smoke rises from the burning herbs the Native Americans view this as the prayers being sent out to the universe through the spiritual smoke. Feathers from the earth’s animals are used to fan the burn of the herbs and to send the prayers further in to the spiritual world in a ceremony. Animals represent many different symbols for Native Americans and feathers are very spiritual as they are spiritual symbols that help soar in flight not only the Eagle but the Raven and many other spiritual winged animals. To own Native American smudging feathers is an honor and a collectible.

Our smudging feathers are handmade by artist Native Bear Dan Kullas and a small tribe in southern Arizona. We use all natural turkey and pheasant feathers unless otherwise noted. We also use reproduced painted eagle feathers. We use a natural waxed rope string and leather strips. Our beads are made from either glass or plastic.
