HEALING OF THE SACRED LODGES



FOUR DIRECTIONS


In the old Medicine Wheel teachings the Circle is divided into four quadrants; four Lodges. These directions have their sacred colors, teachings, elements, powers, animal-teachers, and colors. The various tribes have different colors in the each direction. The colors have less importance than the teachings and where each of us stand on the wheel our life needs to be in at the moment.


The points between the major lodges are the places of the movers and shakers. These are the places of action, the doing. The work taught in the North, East, South and West lodges are the concepts. Between the four lie the actions to move from one lodge (direction) to the next. In the middle, of course, is Spirit; the core of one's being. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories
