oh! they are rooster feathers? May I further ask why you chose rooster feathers? I love roosters myself, and perhaps you do as well--but I'm asking because I wonder if it is also your power animal? Just guessing here.
The rooster feathers where only used for there colour as it's illegal to use eagle feathers, there where the closest to the eagle colours and the brown beige colours.
Though I plan on using crow and maybe some magpie feathers in my journal, I have crows and magpies flying around all over the place where I stay, so I could properly find some fallen feathers, I actually have a crows feather that fell right in front of me when I first started having raven/Crow show up as a guide for me, so had that feather for alot of years now.
The animal guides I have right now are Tiger/Raven/panther/horse
Horse has only showed up very recently for me, and interestingly enough my first name means gentle horse.
btw, how do you like the class(es) you are taking for this? I suspect it is still going on?
My first group class is next Wednesday, the work I've been doing has been solo up till now, so being in a group setting will be different, it will be interesting to see if the way I journey the now is different.
I feel I have only achieved one proper journeing in my mediations, and was when I was having pain in my thigh, so I thought I'd try a journey to try get to the root of the problem, and I certainly didn't expect what actually happened, in short when I visualised the pain in my thigh, a pack of wolves started chasing a solo wolf, then the Wolf stop at me and we both faced the pack and I'm not even sure what I used but I seemed to cut through the pack they then started to dissipate and transform into butterflies, the strangest part of all this that when I was finished with the mediation I felt so happy, alot happier that I have felt in ages, and the pain was gone.
But it didn't last long because for some reason later that day my partner kept jumping down my throat for nothing so I finally lost it with him, the minute I did I just felt a heaviness sink back in me, and that night the pain was back.
So I think I'm carrying around some of my partners negativity, after I got the pain back he was back to being his usual non aggressive self.
It was all quite a strange experience and one I haven't had before or since.
