One of the traditional elements of the smudging ceremony is the smudging feather, which is used to waft the cleansing smoke around the body, around items that require cleansing, around a room or space.
While the symbolism of the feather and its connection to the element of air is one factor of why indigenous peoples use feathers in their smudging rituals, birds in general play an extremely important role in the indigenous culture.
Birds share many messages and lessons in many cultures, and play an active role in daily life. For instance, as a new day arrives and the sun begins to rise, the birds greet the new day with their song and help to wake everyone up for the new day.
Birds are also believed to have a special connection with the creator, and the use of their feathers helps us to forge a deeper connection with the spirit, the creator, and ourselves.
