About

Nature provides: feather and bone. Two elements I always cross when hiking. I wanted to have a cherished item I could pass down in my family, and that was used in ceremony. I made my first feather fan last year. 
Now I want to share this craft. Smoke cleansing exists in many cultures across the World. Smoke cleansing is also ritual that doesn't need grand ceremony. It can be done at your altar, your car, or at a concert. Using a tool such as a feather fan provides a tactile experience, and a tool with your oils, sweat, and essence infusing the bone. 
The offerings portion is any burnable plant material I've wildcrafted. Local flora shows us the health of the land, and the response of Mother Earth to human activities. Wildcrafting keeps me in touch with this. I primarily use dead/dried aerial plant parts. I will harvest fresh matter, only if the plant can survive proper trimming. This means roots stay living, flowers keep feeding bees, and seeds spread for the next generation.
