Prayer Feathers

A few photos of prayer feathers I made this month.

What's a prayer feather?
In a nutshell, many native american cultures believe birds to be sacred - able to fly between this world and the spirit world. The prayer feather is meant to hold a prayer or a wish and to be hung in a window (by those little fringey straps at the bottom). Then a bird will see the feather, collect the prayer, and bring it to the heavens.

Wild turkey feathers, deerskin, rabbit fur, and mustang hair.
