Redheart Merchandise
For us, the Redheart logo symbolises the feathered headdress of one Native Indian from the Nez Perce Indian Tribe called Jesse Redheart.
Each feather is a symbol of trust, honour, strength, wisdom, power, freedom and so much more to the Native American Tribes, it’s truly a very special gift.
If an Indian receives a feather, he earned it for each courageous act he accomplished, a symbol of high respect and a visible display of a warrior’s bravery, honour and standing within his tribe.
Only by completing enough deeds will there be enough feathers to make a headdress, Jesse Redheart certainly had a fabulous headdress with the coloured feathers of Red, Black, and White.
We are unsure what exact bird feathers were used to make his headdress, but the bird embodies the spiritual idea of souls and spirits, their presence believed to guide and help one see the path through life, whilst teaching and in some instances protecting.
The Eagle feathers indicated great strength, courage leadership and prestige, the Crow indicates skill, cunningness and release from past beliefs, the Hummingbird represents love, beauty, and intelligence – A Spirit Messenger and Stopper of Time. The Falcon feathers represent speed, movement and soul healing, the Owl feathers represent wisdom, the ability to see things normally, a creature of the night – silent and swift. The Hawk feathers indicate strength, vision, and guardianship whilst the Raven feathers represent knowledge and creativity. The Bluebird symbolises happiness and fulfilment, the Dove, love, gentleness, and kindness and the Heron’s feather symbolises patience, grace, and confidence. A Kingfisher’s feather symbolises luck, patience, speed, and agility, whilst a feather from a Swallow is recognised with peace and love and the feather of the Turkey symbolises abundance, pride, and fertility. Woodpeckers have the meaning of self-discovery whilst the little Wren’s feather is a symbol of protection.
The Native Americans view different colours as signs from the spirit.
Red usually connects to the root chakra relating to life, force, passion, courage, good fortune, and emotion.
*
Black can represent growth, protection, and closing a chapter, but a black feather is shimmering means ‘high mystical insight.
*
White represents peace, purification, faith, and the heavens among many tribes.
Every bird feather is highly valued, every colour of bird feather has a representative meaning that is deep and meaningful and if you are one to purchase personalised Redheart merchandise, we hope you appreciated the meaning behind our feathered logo.
