The essence of the Spirit Comb . . .

 

We all wear masks in our everyday lives. Some are thin and translucent, while others are thick and opaque. Subtle or elaborate; subconscious or calculated; they all help us screen our “Inner Thoughts” from the prying eyes and judgments of the world.

 

Whether someone stands holding the staff beside them or gently waves the comb through the air, the fan of feather and antler creates a filter of sorts. Which in turn gives the holder the opportunity to gather, sense and interpret the energies/intentions of those around them. To hold the Spirit Comb allows an individual to look beyond  . . . and see the “Truth” our masks attempt to conceal.
