Feather Charm

Feathers are considered a good luck charm and finding them is considered to be linked to the spiritual world. You may know the expression "feathers appear when angels are near", the feather is known as a symbol of keeping you safe and empowering you on your current journey.

Dream catchers are also known for being signs of good luck and associated with Native American culture. It's believed that hanging a dream catcher will protect people while sleeping, with the web catching any bad dreams and allowing good dreams to pass through the gaps. Beads are often woven into the pattern, with one bead in the center which is thought to represent a spider, while the others represent dreams captured within the web.
