For open minded people, who may believe ... meaning of a white feather?

Question

My best friend who was like a sister died when i was 11, she was only 8. Near enough every day something reminds me of her or i think of her. Anyways, lately i have been questioning my own faith i.e is there an afterlife and is there a God? I decided yesterday that i DO believe in a God, what God actually is i don't know as in a force or a person like us?...i really don't know. However, i believe there is something* out there which i refer to as God and i choose to believe because of all the miracles that happen etc. Anyways i thought all this yesterday at work to myself and for the first time since i was little, i prayed...

This morning i came into work and there was a small white feather on my desk! My Godmother (my friend who died mum) is into mediums and spirituality etc and she was really upset one day in her garden and a single white feather landed at the garden table she was sitting at. By watching mediums on t.v etc she said that it means someone on the spiritual side is responding to you and thats the sign for it?

Is this God or your Guardian Angel or people that have passed, anyone know? What do you think the meaning of this is? Anyone know more than me...?

Thanks for any answers, much appreciated! (Sorry it was long-winded, but i would feel better if i know a bit more etc!)

Answer 1

I don't know but that is really cool. I think the garden feather maybe could be explained but with the one that showed up in your room it must be a present for you two.

Answer 2

Many people i know say a white feather is a sign from a loved one that has passed away and has happened to some of my family to!!

I think your right in thinking tis a message from your friend!  

Answer 3

It is traditionally a sign of an angel being around you. Draw your own conclusions, but thats what I would believe. Your loved ones still love you and want to show they are around, body, or no body.

Answer 4

White feathers were given by women to men during the war who weren't taking part, i.e.; joining the armed forces. I doubt that's the only meaning, though.

Answer 5

When someone finds a white feather, it is a sign that angels are watching.

To all those idiots saying its cowardice, don't be stupid. We're not in t'middle of the War any more, and she wasn't given it by nasty old women intent on causing pain.

Answer 6

I think that there are forces that we can think of as angels and that this was a sign to you that your friend is still thinking about you and helping to take care of you

Answer 7

Right. So that's it, is it? That's what guardian angels do. They don't save millions from dying horrible and pointless deaths in wars, famine, tsunami and ethnic cleansing, but they can leave feathers. Wow.

Answer 8

It's to do with cowardice.

Answer 9

it is a sign of cowardice... women used to give white feathers to the men who weren't fighting in the second world war.

Answer 10

I am not exactly sure but this sight may help.  And with your friend on your mind constantly she may be your guardian angel.

As for God, all God's are one God.  She is called by many names but she always answers.  I have listed a link for this for you too.

You may find the last link useful too.  This is my personal sight that I have created to help those who are interested in the craft.  There are man links there which you may find useful including one on how to contact your spirit guide, another word for guardian angel.

Many Blessings

In peace time feathers come from birds and feather pillows.
