Created in Shamanic style, using beautifully preserved wings.*
*Wings sourced in accordance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 & are a by product of licensed gamekeepers. Our fans are created using beautifully preserved bird wings*, semi precious gemstones and beads. In brief, 'smudging' or the act of burning sage herb, is a ritual widely used within Shamanic and Neoshamanic cultures. It
is an ancient practice and is used by many Native American tribes to enhance connection with the spiritual realm. The Pagan and Wiccan culture, amongst others, use it widely, for its powers of dispelling negative energies, to empower and to cleanse. The fans created by BlackCat are each uniquely hand-crafted and are lovingly made by practitioners of Wicca and are designed for ritual use, however they may simply be used for ornamental purposes.
“...I'm of Sioux Indian descent and trust me, you would not be disrespecting the culture by owning something like this. It would actually be seen as an honour.” ~ Laura L, Facebook.
*We categorically state that all wings and feathers are sourced in line with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and are a by-product of licensed gamekeeping, before anyone gets a feather in their kecks!
