Feathers have long been a symbol of creativity. While there can be many other symbolic meanings, that one in particular has always resonated with me. Most of my earrings are feathers.
And for a long time what was commonly used as pens? Feathers. Even the icon I chose for the fiction links shows a quill pen.
Coincidence? I don't believe in coincidence. But it is interesting, I think. Something to meditate on.
Posted by fictionman at September 30, 2004 07:43 PM | TrackBack (0)i imagine that if i pierced my ears, i would wear feathers linked with beads as well. i guess that thought was inspired by a certain fantasy fiction that used feathers and beads and crystals as accessories most of the time.
do u know this fantasy fiction? The Valdemar stories by Mercedes Lackey. I love the way they use feathers from their Bond birds to signify their interests and commitment. very romantic and more intimate.
