The Importance Of Feathers
There has been a belief that when angels visit a place, they live behind traces of feathers.
An extension of this belief adds that when such events happen that angels leave their feathers; it is because God wants to make the people aware that divine power is watching over them and protecting them. In poetry and paintings, feathers are used to convey purity, peace, and uniqueness.
The symbolism of feathers varies depending on the color. Below is a quick run of the colors and what they mean.
Black Feathers
Generally, black color has been associated with negativity. However, in feathers, black is an assurance of a strong angelic presence. It points to the spirituality inside you that you can access and let its immense wisdom guide you.
Here is a good piece about crows and ravens that are linked to this color.
Blue Feathers
This serves as a reminder that you should relax and keep calm. It is an invitation to take a break from the busyness and chaos of the world as you listen to the advice of others.
Brown Feathers
For those who are away from home, brown feathers symbolize the need to keep in touch with their loved ones.
Green Feathers
This is a symbol of happiness and a sign that even greater happiness is on its way to you. It serves as comfort especially when going through rough times.
Pink Feathers
Pink is the color of endless love. It is the love that nothing can ever stop, and no boundaries can hinder you from accessing the love that nature has reserved for you.
Orange Feathers

White Feathers
These feathers symbolize divinity and protection. They convey the presence of peace and positivity around you that you should embrace.
Finding The Real Message In The Feathers
While the color of feathers is important, the deepest meaning lies in you being attentive and looking inward at the angelic message. At the right time, angels align the feathers in your path so that they can validate your thoughts and give you vital clues to some of the questions you may have had.
In case you feel that a certain message is not coming across clearly, you should hold on because angels send their messages repetitively until you have a clear understanding. When you come across feathers, you don’t need to pick them up for you to recognize the message. Just finding them is a blessing in itself.
When you find angels feathers, your brain will almost automatically recognize the message being passed across. Happiness or problems that you are going through will come alive in response to the message.
The rule of the game is that angels will answer your requests on condition that what you ask is positive and there is no intention to interfere with the divine plan.
Conclusion
Spiritually, feathers symbolize the ability of the human soul to move beyond and transcend mental barriers and limitations. They enable you to see the bigger picture and give you a detailed understanding of the things that really matter in life.

If you could help me with this it would be a blessing
I just had yesterday a white feather float in front of me in my bedroom and then disappeared. It was the most beautiful thing, but I couldn’t find it..then I realized it was an answer to my prayer..I wanted to be really seen by people as my true self. And so this was my answer..Yes..
I had to put my dog down today and have been crying but I went to the bathroom and a small white feather was flying around I know it has to be a sign.
It’s definitely a sign. You can always ask for more messages in Jesus name from your loved one. God wants you to see his glory and love and he wants to heal your heart. God needs to break your heart to save your soul, and this is Gods introduction to you. If you keep your devotion to God you will see your life unfold before Gods eyes. God needs to take away the light so we can see his. This is God asking you if you will follow his path from this point on.
I’m going through a lot and my mind is lost I’ve been seeing feathers for awhile and now this morning I seen a black and white feather. Please help me
I’ve been seeing the same thing. My mind has also been very confused. I would see white feathers after a prayer to Jesus asking for a sign from his angels. But then grey and black feathers started following as well. In addition to that, besides seeing 2222 and the repeated numbers which are signs from angels, I’ve been seeing 666 on license plates. I immediately felt scared and like I just took two spets back in my relationship with Jesus and my mind starts to overthink that everything I’ve been seeing has been a lie. I’ve also read somewhere that 666 could also be a message from God saying I’m being too materialistic and need to focus more on my spiritual relationship. As well as seeing black feathers, there has been multiple sources and references online as to it being different meanings and it leaves me very confused as to what the true meaning is. Our best source is the bible and through prayer. Whenever where confused, pray to God for clarification, in Jesus name. Ask him to guide you to the right source for what its true meaning could be. I feel i’ve been lead to the true meanings but their meanings could be different for everyone. I’ve also read somewhere that the devil tries to attack and break those who are close to their breakthrough ✝️ because souls with the holy spirit are more valuable than others. It may be a message from God but it could also be an attack from the devil. I admit I’m not sure, but the meaning could be different for everyone. But although the devil may get close to us, he can never touch us as long as we follow God’s path and keep close to Jesus. The devil wants us to be confused and to start overthinking and feel lost. But even if we don’t understand, we can trust God to keep us safe and on his path.
Do you fools even realize that this entire “article” was copy and pasted from a BLACK MAGIC book? Literally. Why is a catholic website directly copy and pasting from a book of magic? Notice scripture is NEVER even quoted at all? Why is that? Because the bible NEVER mentions any of these beliefs rooted in magic and the occult.
But then why are we recieving these signs in jesus name? How do we find the true meaning behind the feathers?
Read your scriptures and they will tell you or look it up on the Internet, what does the bible say about white feathers and loads of scriptures will come up.
Psalm 91 – He will cover you with his feathers and under thy wings shall shalt thou trust. His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
