A Medicine Wheel Teaching

This Medicine Wheel Teaching is for your contemplation and meditation. It is meant to give you a start so that you might see how the Entire Universe is represented in the Sacred(Pawakan) Circle. There are many other teachings that are not listed in the Medicine Wheel Chart above; such as the Teaching of the Four Winds, the Life Cycle of the Parasite which everyone should know, so that you can understand why we start a cleanse when we do. There are no Herbal Teachings in this Chart; no Warrior Medicines or Woman Medicines. There are so many more teachings!

As you grow you will find(with the help of the Great Spirits) your personal Medicine. Lay your Tobacco out and let the Creator read your request and tell you all you need to know.

This Medicine Wheel Chart is a Starting Point, to show you there is an Order to the Universe and that everything has a place. Take your time to see the Order and know this; everything in every box in the Chart has been placed with thought and there is a reason why things are placed where they are. The Creator took Great Care in His Love; the Universe and All Life within and we have a responsibility to see that Love and come to understand our relationship to All Life. It takes time to glean the Knowledge that becomes Us. In the Spirit of Sharing; EnJoy! Continue to next Page.
