Spiritual Meaning of a Feather on Your Car
Sometimes when you wake up in the morning and head out to your car, you might be lucky enough to find some feathers stuck to the hood, the roof, the doors, or anywhere!

So, what does it mean? Well, it’s a pretty simple meaning that doesn’t require too much explanation. In the West, we take feathers to mean that our angels are watching over us. This is because the common Christian concept of an angel is one with feathered wings.

But, it’s not just that our angels are watching over us. It has a more specific meaning when you find a feather on your car. This is because the feather connected to the car implies protection over the vehicle and everybody within the vehicle. So, had you been planning any journeys—especially ones you’re worrying about—then the sign of a feather on your car cannot be clearer! It means that the trip will be a success, because your angels are on your side.
Can Feathers on Your Car Mean Anything Else?
Yes, feathers on your car has a another meaning, and that meaning is no less important.
We link birds with freedom. We make this because birds have the freedom of the skies! In most cases anyway (looking at you ostriches and emus). So, naturally, feathers symbolize freedom. And when a feather comes into your life serendipitously, then you can take it as a gift from the birds that imbues you with freedom.

Also, consider your car—what is it? Well, it is a form of freedom. If it runs well, then it gives you the freedom of the road. And imagine the roads, think about your driveway and the distances it connects you to. It’s amazing when you think about it. Somebody in New York City is connected to the same network of unbroken roads that somebody in Los Angeles is.
So, both the car and the feather symbolize freedom. Therefore, when you combine them, it amplifies that symbol.
How Can You Apply These Meanings?
It’s obvious, if you ask me! The meaning couldn’t be clearer. Embrace the message of freedom and protection. So, if you’ve been dreaming for years, then, well, it’s about time you thought long and hard about actually taking that epic road trip you’ve always wanted to. That’s it and that’s all.
