This beautiful Ceremonial Smudge Fan has been lovingly created from Holly wood and naturally moulted cruelty free feathers. Each fan is handcrafted intuitively using a combination of materials that are called together and this particular fan is approx 36cm / 14" long and includes a variety of feathers on a Holly wood handle with a hand bound wire cuff, fairy charm and recycled leather fringe. We've added a spiral vine for extra energy and the piece has been finished with our homemade beeswax, olive oil and cedarwood polish.
Holly wood carries the energies of purity, strength, logic, power transfer and protection. Holly items are often used in magic concerning sleep. It is said that a man who carries the leaves and berries of holly is irresistible to women. Since the story of the ruler ship of the Holly King and the Oak King deal with cycles and rebirth, it is often used in magic to ease the loss of loved ones to death. It also carries properties of the sacred, material advance, physical revenge, and beauty.
Holly being a sacred Celtic wood we have also added the Holly Ogham symbol of Tinne for extra strength.
We collect native feathers whenever we find them, collect the fallen ones from our friends pet Guinea foul and Peacocks and also source them from an ornithologist friend who spends most of his time in nature and helping with rescue and conservation projects. All the feathers are naturally moulted, not plucked from birds reared for food or shot for conservation purposes. Having these beautiful sacred objects knowing in our hearts that no creatures have been harmed is something which is very important to us.
