I was wondering if there has been instances where people have or grew feathers. I'm looking at it in both the scientific and mystical angle. And whats its significance.

At first I wasn't sure about what you were specifying. I thought "in what..a petri dish?" LOL. But I see what you're asking now. I haven't seen anything with people growing feathers. But I have seen pictures of people with horns. That is incredibly macabre.

The only spiritual association I've ever read about is the winged serpent. My husband knows more than I do on this.

Though, doing a short search I found something that might be of interest. Although it has nothing of bodily mutations, it has to do moreso with what the mind can overcome with yoga.
Yoga Changes the Molecular Structure of the Human Body

Terrible Mutations May Turn Humans Into Plants or Animals

Bizarre Baby (Tell you what, I just got high speed internet and was looking right up at the screen when this popped up..wow...first time I've jumped out of my seat in a long time LOL.)

Hope you find these of interest.

gah that baby scares me, i had come accross the article a few months ago. I hadnt seen the mutation one tohugh..thats insane.

Not exactly what I was looking for, but thanks anyways. Hopefully people don't go off topic to the original question.

Sorry I couldn't be more of service to this. Your best bet is to research ancient Mayan cultures and mythology for anything related to feathered beings. Like I said, as far as I know I haven't found anything about humans growing feathers (but then again it is a large world and strange things do happen.)

Somewhere I have read this too and quite recently at that. I am wondering if it has some root in the Enochian. Any thoughts as to which document?
