Honouring the Circle : Tribal People of the Earth


The Sacred Circle
Honoured by most Tribal people of the Earth
On the Plains named the Medicine Wheel.
Symbolic of Wholeness and Completion
Mother Earth in her Roundness...Fullness...Abundance.
Four is the Sacred number
Four seasons in the cycle...Four elemental powers
Four races of humanity...Four laws of living in community
Four Directions of the Medicine Wheel.
Weaves the Web of Interconnectedness with all of Creation
Between those who have gone before...those who will come after.
Circle is a container for energy...we Share together
Strengthening...Healing each of us...Together
Helps us continue with our struggles
As we "walk our talk" each day
Honouring our selves...All others
The Ancestors...Mother Earth
