Most commonly, a single feather symbolizes the coming or going of a life in the way of a birth or death. Having one single feather represents floating in the wind and letting luck and fortune determine your path. Some of the most common feather types come from the wings of eagles, peacocks, seagulls, Phoenixes, or owls. Each of these majestic animals has their own personalized meaning about what they represent.
The cross has long been associated with Christian faith. When combined with the infinity symbol, it means infinite faith in one's personal religious beliefs.
In 1655, the infinity symbol was created by mathematician John Wallis to represent a limitless amount of something. Today, the infinity symbol carries the same meaning, usually paired with philosophies about life, love, and happiness.
