Prayer Feathers

12/17/2015

I've been making prayer feathers the last three days from copper and sterling. I've had orders for 6 of them. Each one has turned out a little bit different as is the appeal of handmade jewelry. As I sat working on them I couldn't help but think about each person they were for, some I know, some I don't. I thought about the reasons for which they are being given. With each feather I had a unique experience in completing it. Each feather seemed to refuse to be exactly like the last by challenging my skill. Maybe not so much my skill but my patience. And so they are.

Prayer Feathers

Native Americans believed prayers and messages were carried to the Great Spirit on the wings of eagles and other fine birds.

Prayer feathers, either single or bundled are used by an individual to offer a prayer to the Great Spirit. The feathers carry your words, thoughts and feelings to the Great Spirit. Each time you look at your prayer feather, your prayers are again sent in your behalf to the Great Spirit in the Heavens.
