As I would mow, this area always seemed to be asking for me to build a medicine wheel here.  I resisted for the longest time, not knowing how or why, I didn't know anything about medicine wheels.  It was like the movie "Field of Dreams"; build it they will come.  I finally gave in, and gathered from the land the stones that I felt would fit and built it.  That was in 2005.  I have had a couple of interesting events dancing the wheel alone and with friends, but now I am thrilled to say...  joining with Spirit Junction as it's Medicine Wheel Authority and Shaman, Azurae Windwalker, who offers attunements and shaman classes throughout the year.  Visit Azurae's website www.theamethystcenter.com  for more information on upcoming classes.

Below I have provided actual pictures of the stones in my wheel, along with their corresponding number and name, to help with further understanding and to recreate your experience while “in” the wheel. 

I would love for you to share your experience with me.  It is my belief that we never walk the “wheel of life” alone.  All questions, quests and answers that seem to be for one, is for the Whole.  The answer that seemed to be for you, a seemingly separate being, becomes Holy Whole in the sharing of it with your brothers and sisters.  As we sit with the insight and guidance from within offered while walking the wheel and allow it to integrate to the center of our being, we discover the answers were never “outside ourselves”, in the wheel, in the labyrinth or in someone other;  the answers and guidance we seek, is “ALWAYS WITHIN”.  As we use the things, symbols, tools of the world to find deeper meaning and understanding, our need for, attachment to and dependence on them lessens and the enJOYment of them increases.

In the middle of my process putting all of this together, I received an email from a friend.  She had researched Sun Bears Medicine Wheel and sent me the link below.  It encapsulates all that I had wanted to create myself, so without need to, forgive the pun... "re-create the wheel", I have listed it here:

There is a reverence and order in building a Medicine Wheel which honors the Wheel, the Land and those who Inspired the Wheel.  First ask the land if this is in keeping with It’s purpose along with asking each stone it’s intention.  Then proceed as directed in Sun Bear’s book.

 

 

 

 There are some differences in the Clan positions between the link I provided and MY wheel.  I have referenced them in the link below:
