I have had several owl feathers for several years. However, i was not aware of their significance, and seeing all animals as inventions of the great Creator, i didn't think they were bad luck or anything. My boyfriend is very interested in native American Lore and mentioned that having more than one owl feather is bad luck. i decided i would not allow the idea of bad luck to enter my mind. but he wanted to wrap one of my feathers. Meanwhile, i have been trying to get my boyfriend to get an STD test. Beings he prays to our Mother Earth, I prayed to the owl whose feather i was to give him that he/she would guide my man to get tested. I thanked him or her and wished her well, and i also prayed to mother earth, the plants, the one oversoul, and generally all that they would guide my lover to get tested. I gave him the feather, but then i felt weird, like i was doing some sort of black magic. I try to be a very good person, and i know that i was not asking for anything harmful. Soon, i relinquished my whole desre for him to get tested to a larger power, and gave up having any desire at all. I figured that i would go by guidance and patience and let him get tested by and by. However, once in a while, i asked the owl and the earth to maybe influence him to get tested. Soon, even that stopped. I wanted no bad feelings there anymore. I did not tell him why i prayed to the owl. But, he decided he did not want to wrap the feather and would rather put it back in nature.
But then two weeks later or so, his sliding door glass cracked, a pigeon dive-bombed into his yard, injured, and the next day, he fell off his bike and broke a few bones, messing up our tandem bike racing season. He decided that it was the feather that caused all the angst, and told me that thoguh i did not understand it, the owl feather was bad luck. I looked it up and saw that it depends on your tribal affiliation and how you look at it. I am wondering if i am responsible for his injuries! I am horrified to think that i could have accidentally engaged in some kind of negative force like that, for i do not want to use my personal power for such ends. What do you think? I have prayed for release from the owl, and I have not yet told my lover that I prayed to the owl. My goodness, i had no idea that a creature of God would bring such luck--is it me?
