Throughout history fans have been a practical and fashionable accessory for women as well as men.

Their design and material fluctuate with variables such as time period, culture, social status and even the width of a woman's skirt. Their uses vary from the obvious need to cool, to perserve or feign preservation of modesty to communication via a language all their own.

Ritual / Prayer / Smudge Fans

Fans have long been used by Native Americans and other cultures to spread smoke from incense and burning herbs used in purification and other ceremonies. This is often called "smudging". In some cultures, prayer fans are used to symbolically fan and "spread" prayers to speed them on their way toward the ears of the deities, to circulate blessings or as a focus for meditative rituals. Any ritual fan adapts itself to the uses that it's owner desires.
