Turkey Feather with Beads for Smudging

Rooted in Indigenous smudging traditions, the feather is used to gently guide sacred smoke around oneself and over a person, object or space. The movement of the smoke is believed to cleanse, protect and restore balance by clearing heavy or stagnant energy. Short intentional motions help disperse blocked energy, while long, flowing strokes encourage calm, harmony and a smooth flow of energy. This ceremonial practice is traditionally carried out with sacred medicines such as sweetgrass and sage, offered with respect, intention and gratitude.
