Do you want to know the meaning of finding feathers? Here I am going to explain to you what it means to find a feather and how it varies depending on its color. Furthermore, I will help you find the real message within them.
I always find feathers in my path. I love seeing them and when I do, I thank the angels for their presence. I use the pen as a reminder to be present in the moment. I am filled with gratitude, because I know that angels are in my life.
Why do angels use feathers as signs?
Angels are spiritual beings with an incredibly high vibration and who serve in accordance with divine will. Angels are the pure energy of love and light, and although they are always near us, their energy is so fine that it is easy to overlook their presence or miss it completely.
For that reason, angels send signs, like feathers, to let us know that they are close and offer us their love, guidance and support.

Relationship of feathers and angels
Although angels do not need wings to fly, the wings represent their ability to quickly carry out divine will. Angels are also well aware that they are believed to have wings, as they have been depicted with wings in paintings, stories, and sculptures for thousands of years.
Because of this, when they show themselves, they often do so with wings so that we recognize them. And since most people are not regularly in a high enough vibration to see angels, they love to leave the feathers behind, as a sign that they are nearby.
The symbolic meaning of feathers
In addition to representing the actual feathers of angels’ wings, the spiritual symbolic meaning of feathers can be seen in many different cultures. Each refers to spiritual communication and ascension to the higher realms.
- The Egyptians They believed that feathers were a symbol of Ma’at, the goddess of truth, justice and order.
- Native American Chiefs They wore feathers in their headdresses to represent their communication with the spirit world, and believed that finding feathers was a sign of new beginnings and rebirth of the spirit.
- The Celtic Druids They wore robes adorned with feathers to transcend the physical plane and obtain celestial knowledge of the realms of the spirit.
- In the Biblefeathers metaphorically represent loving care and protection.
- In the symbolism of dreamsfeathers signify the ability to move freely throughout life.
So what is the meaning of a feather? Feathers represent a new beginning in a spiritual sense, as well as truth, speed, love, lightness and flight.
For me, feathers are a beautiful reminder to pay attention. When you find a feather and raise your awareness, it is usually quite easy to tune into the knowledge of what it means.
You can find feathers when you are thinking about making a change or worried about something. Also, you can associate the pen with something the moment you find it.
The angels want you to ask for their help
Feathers can also be a simple reminder that your angels are near, and they want you to know it. They want you to ask for their help.
Although angels are always nearby, they deeply honor your free will and will not interfere unless you ask them to. Ask the angels for help when you need it!
There are no requests too big or too small, and you can’t ask for help too often. As long as your request is aligned with Divine will, and for the highest good of all involved, the angels will work behind the scenes to assist you.
The next time you find a feather, use it as a reminder that your angels are with you. If you can’t find feathers, don’t worry, your angels may prefer another sign… Just pay attention.
Do you want to find feathers? Just think or say: “Angels, I would love a sign of your presence. “Would you help me find a pen?” Sometimes the feather will appear symbolically. For example, one day I asked the angels to help me find a feather, and before the day was over I saw a woman who had angel wings tattooed on her back.
Just pay attention and increase your awareness of the present moment to tune into the specific meaning the angel feather has for you in that moment.

It makes sense that white feathers are the most well-known, as white is a common symbol for purity, which is very much in line with the meaning of angels.
Some of the most common meanings when finding a white feather are:
- White feathers bring the simple reminder that your angels are with you, loving and supporting you from Spirit.

Find the real message of the feathers
All of the above is a general look at what it can mean to find colored feathers. You will find the deepest meaning of the angelic message by being attentive and looking within.
The great thing about finding feathers is that the angels will line them up your path at just the right time to offer you validation or clues to the answer to a question you’ve asked, or encourage you to follow the right path.
For that reason, don’t worry too much about the specific meaning, just be open. If there is something specific that the angels want you to know, it will appear. The good thing about angel messages is that they are repetitive until you “get it,” so if you miss it the first time, they will send the message another way.
Ask your angels to help you find the meaning of the feather. Trust what you feel and the first thing that comes to your mind. Surely, that will be the real meaning of finding a feather in your path.
Finding feathers on the ground… Should you pick them up?
In no way do you need to lift a pen to recognize the message, guidance and angelic presence that reminds you.
Finding feathers in itself is a blessing and a sign that your angels are with you.
Use the moment you find a feather as a reminder to be present again, and thank the angels for their presence and assistance in your life.
I personally never pick up the many feathers that appear in my path… Although I often photograph them!
