This is a Navajo medicine wheel. According to the "old ones" the circle is an endless creation with connections to the past, present and the future. It can represent Mother Earth, the sun, moon or anything in circular form. The natural world was created in groups of four. These quadrants represent the four directions and seasons. It also represents the four types of creatures, flying, four legged, two legged and crawling, the four elements of wind, fire, water and air. Seek to the East for a health mind, South for a strong inner spirit, West for inner peace and North for a strong healthy body. This medicine wheel has an arrowhead at the center and the left side. At the top is a crystal, the bottom a tooth and the right is a medicine bag. |
