"Finding a feather" on your path tells you you are on the right path. Several cultures use this metaphor, but it originates in Native American mythology. For example, refer to the link below:

Finding a feather is society's way of telling you that you are a coward without the unpleasantness of stating this face to face. A white feather is left in an obvious place where you may be expected to find it or sent in an envelope but without a sender's name. The practice was apparently used when someone failed to volunteer for military service, for example. A movie by that name, "The White Feather", appeared in the forties I believe.

Finding a feather is an omen that generally dictates you will receive some type of important news from an unexpected source. To determine the type of news that's on its way, examine the color and size of the feather and judge accordingly!
PEACE!

Feathers are lucky when you find them in a place where a feather would ordinarily not be found. They could also be a hello from a dead loved one....

Either a bird is loose in your house, or a pillow exploded.
