Several cultures and religions use the ancient practice of smudging to remove negative energy from a space, purification, and to cleanse the soul of negativity. Be it sage, frankincense, or incense, the smoke is washed over the person. There are four elements involved: the shell (representing water; the sacred plants (sage, tobacco, sweetgrass or cedar); fire (lighting the plants); and smoke from lighting the plants.



This unique smudging fan is made from a large crab claw, ostrich feathers, skull print feathers, and a peacock feather. Black velvet trim, and a skull charm finish this beautiful feather fan. It is ideal for a Samhain altar.



The crab claw is regarded as a strong protective amulet. It is odourless, and has been sanitized, and sprayed with an acrylic Finish. It was gathered from a Vancouver Island beach.



*9 inches long (feathers to tip of crab claw). The crab claw itself is 2.5 inches x 1.75 inches
