Finding a white feather is suppose to be a sign of cowardice... And it was used among British Soldiers to label someone a coward..........

Answer 3

It means that someone is watching over you. I don't normally get them, but my mum does. However, the other week I got one. Things had not been going well and the next day I got offered the job I wanted and now things seem to be suddenly moving for us, which is great! I took it as a sign that I was being listened to and helped, which is now evident! :-)

Answer 4

In a dream it means one thing, in real life another.

In a dream a white feather is a symbol for innocence and starting over again. In real life, it was a sign of cowardice originating from the stories concerning cockfighting and a c**k with a white feather was a loser.

No where have I heard of it signifying a message from a loved one.

Answer 5

It is supposed to mean that an angel has visited.

Answer 6

Something to do with angels visiting and blessing you... I think.

I hope you haven't had a loved one pass away. My condolances if you have.

I'm sorry, this needs to be said... it could also mean there's a seagull with a cold ar*e... sorry... sorry... sorry... sorry... sorry... sorry...

Symbol meaning of feathers deal with ascension and spiritual evolution to a higher plane. Feathers were worn by Native American Chiefs to symbolize their communication with Spirit, and to express their celestial wisdom. Also in the Native American Indian culture, feathers represented the power of the thunder gods, along with the power of air and wind.

Native American Pueblo Indians would pay homage to the Feathered Sun which is a symbol of the cosmos and the center of existence. Another symbol meaning of feathers also revolves around prayer, and the Pueblo use feather sticks as they dance in prayer for rain during solstice rituals.

As a Celtic symbol meaning, the feather was worn by Druids in the form of ornate feathered robes. Celtic Druids donned these robes in ceremonies to invoke the sky gods and gain knowledge of the celestial realm. It was believed that the feathered cloak along with the presence of the sky gods would allow the Druid to transcend the earthly plane and enter the ethereal realm.

The Egyptians believed that feathers were symbolic of sky gods too. Ma'at, the Egyptian goddess of justice, would weigh the hearts of the newly dead in the underworld against the weight of a feather to determine the worthiness of his or her soul.

In Christianity feathers represented virtues. In fact, an image of three feathers were made into signet rings - each feather symbolizing Charity, hope, and faith. These rings were worn as a symbol of a virtuous soul - they were also used as wax seals. The ring would be dipped in warm wax then pressed against documents to seal the closure. The recipient would know the documents came from a virtuous man by the indication of the three-feather symbol in the wax.

In dreams feathers mean travel or the ability to move more freely in life. White feathers in dreams indicate innocence or a fresh start in a spiritual sense.

A quick summary on symbol meaning of feathers:

    * Truth

    * Speed

    * Lightness

    * Flight

    * Ascension

Love & Blessings
