============================================================= <b> Ascending the Medicine Wheel ============================================================= Have you often sought in your mediation the answers which plague your soul? Wishes which were never uttered to the wind, but dwell deep within you? Have you ever sought balance to the chaotic world around you? Or do you seek to heal the wounds which scar you physically and spiritually?The Medicine Wheel is a spiritual journey walked by one at spiritual unrest. The ritual begins in the middle of the circle, where the Shaman aiding you asks the Spirits and Creator to aid you and take an offering. You then walk the Wheel around its edge, in a clockwise motion, where the Shaman aiding you performs the rituals of the following: +Four Directions +Four Phases of Time +Four Stages of Life +Four Basic Elements +Four Seasons +Four Aspects of Our Nature During each part of the ritual, you will be required to give an offering, a total of 25 offerings. 1 for the Creator and 24 during the ritual. These offerings do not have to be of value, but should have some kind of a meaning to you, for a strong ritual. These offerings can also be 24 of the same item.After you have finished the outer circle, you will walk to the center of the circle, the Creator, as it signifies centering ourselves with the universe, the Spirits, and with our true nature and you will offer your own prayer, asking the Creator for his blessing.If the Creator accepts the prayer, he will offer his healing and have the Guide helping you, fully complete the ritual, by having his brand tattoo'd, as well as your own Medicine Wheel which represents the spiritual journey you have accomplished. ============================================================== W T E T L S L N W E S N X N S E W N L S L T E T W <b>~*~ Key Guide ~*~ W= Four Directions (East/South/West/North) E= Four Basic Elements (Air/Fire/Water/Earth) S= Four Seasons (Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter) T= Four Phases of Time (Sunrise/High Noon/ Sunset/Midnight) L= Four Stages of Life (Child/Adolescent/Adult/Elder) N= Four Aspects of Our Nature (Physical/Mental/Emotional/Spiritual) X= Creator ============================================================== To seek the Medicine Wheel, you must write one of the Shaman Guides who are able to aid you with the journey, explaining your imbalance, concerning one of the four phases.
