The feral cat my mom has been feeding out of concern killed a bird a few days ago. These were the intact feathers without flesh from the area where it was downed. They were put in a sealed zipper bag under sunlight for a few days to kill lice. I brought two more in today. All flight feathers, from the looks of it. Two of them have “fingers” so I wonder if they’re tail feathers.
I’ve been dreaming about these things. For some reason they remind me of Lucifer. Coincidence? Calling? Gift?
Anywho, observations aside, try looking at the totem meaning of the bird they belong to. You said you saw this in a dream too? Look up the dream interpretation, see what this yields.
I looked up the birds from my area and the family they’re from. I think they’re shrike feathers. Loggerhead Shrike to be exact. It makes sense because they’re native around here.
Random interesting fact; they’re also known as butcherbirds because they impale insects to eat them. I wonder if that’s a reference to a spear or trident.
Native American legends;
Shrike was given the power of Dance Caller (spiritual dance pow-wow leader) by Eagle; Native American Legend : The Thunder Nation and the Eagle.

This is sounding more and more like the path of a warrior the spirits want me to take.
What rituals have you done lately? Have you done any justice work or hexes to teach someone a lesson rather than harm? Usually grey/black majority is a sign that your justice spell hex has been delivered by the deity you used.
I haven’t done any hexes lately. I’ve been asking Lucifer to help me with learning, and that’s pretty much it because I’ve been busy.
Pigeon?
