Are peacock feathers unlucky?

I bought some early this year for a flower arrangement with sticks in our bedroom...closest to my husband%26#039;s side of the bed. We%26#039;ve had a terrible year, and he has been suddenly and unexpectedly very ill. I just recently remembered that when i bought them my friend with me told me they were bad luck, and i dismissed it. Is it a coincidence that my husband has been ill since feathers near the bed? Should I get rid of them?

FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersIf you believe in this only a little bit, get rid of them. Superstitions have a way of making themselves come true by the subject%26#039;s belief in them. Your friend may have planted the seed for this in your mind and you will feel better if you just move the feathers to the basement or the garage.
Reply:do get rid of them, there are plenty of tales in psychic mags about peacock feathers bringing terrible bad luck to its owners when they are taken indoors.

Reply:According to Hindu Mythology, the God Krishna wore three Peacock feathers in his crown.So I, as a hindu, cannot really say that they might be unlucky for you as they are regarded as very important aspects of Indian Mythology.





On the other hand, the God known as the %26#039;Woman Hater%26#039;- Kartikeya had a peacock as a pet.He hated women because he thought that his mother favoured his elder brother Ganesha when Ganesha had regarded his parents as the world(Kartikeya had been challenged in a race to go round the world thrice in a race against Ganesha).As you are female, according to my religion, you could have been cursed by him for using the feathers of his beloved pet.





If you are really feeling that your family problems are being caused by these feathers, why are you wasting precious time asking for advice?Throw them away if you feel that they are bad luck for you.
Reply:I must say I have never heard of Peacock feathers being considered unlucky. Regardless, do remember that for every superstition there is a contradictory superstition from another frame of reference.





Do you actually think that luck is a concept which exists as anything other than a mechanism to describe random events?


If so, do you really believe that this non-corporeal force could be stored in a feather?





Does this mean that peacocks have very bad luck? Maybe in the cosmic balance their beguiling appearance is a sorry trade off for inescapable and cataclysmic misfortune.





When I was growing up, there were always peacock feathers in the house. That would explain an awful lot.





Get rid of the feathers. Throw them away or give them to an enemy. Unless you are EXTREMELY superstitious, at which point you should use subliminal messaging to prompt someone of your choosing to steal said peacock feathers.

It is thought very unlucky to have the feathers of a Peacock within the home or handle anything made with them. This is possibly because of the eye shape present upon these feathers i.e. the Evil-Eye associated with wickedness.
Reply:My Swedish grandma was very adamant about peacock feathers being unlucky. She said they were a representation of the %26quot;evil eye%26quot;.

Reply:Traditionally, in most cultures, the peacock and it%26#039;s feathers are a symbol of wholeness and the Sun.


For some reason, in Victorian times, it became a bad luck symbol. This is probably because it symbolism is linked to the occult folklore rather than Christian values.


Some people do have allergies to feathers, or the dust they collect.


I%26#039;m sorry to hear you%26#039;ve had such a bad year, but this happens to everyone occasionally. It usually takes more contributory factors than just a few feathers for this to happen.


I wish you better health and happiness for the future.flower
