Earth Sanctuary Installs Native American Medicine Wheel

02-18-05 - North America — , Washington

A Medicine Wheel, one of the most powerful and cherished symbols of Native American belief, now resides at Earth Sanctuary a nature reserve and mediation parkland on South Whidbey Island, Washington.

" A Medicine Wheel is an ancient place of prayer sacred to Native Americans, symbolizing the totality of existence. The Earth Sanctuary Medicine Wheel is a sacred space designed to amplify the power of prayers and connect you with all the Grandmothers, Grandfathers, Mother Earth, Moon, Sun, Sky, and the Creator, on the eternal circle of life. The Medicine Wheel is one of the few sacred spaces indigenous to North America. There were once about 20,000 medicine wheels in North America, before the Europeans came. Today, most have been lost or destroyed. All, like the Big Horn Medicine Wheel, are revered and sacred places. The Earth Sanctuary Medicine Wheel was a vision gifted to Michael S. Angelo by the Creator. Michael is of Cherokee descent from his Great Grandmother and is a Sundancer at Native American ceremonies. The Medicine Wheel was blessed by Klaw-osht, a Northwest coastal Native American elder, and was installed according to the strictest traditional protocols. "
