Publisher Comments:

"The Medicine Wheel is a springboard of power that will allow you to link up to all the energies of the universe." — Sun Bear

Millions of people around the world have incorporated Native American philosophy into their everyday lives. Now, with this special 25th anniversary edition of the late Sun Bear's classic bestseller, readers old and new can benefit from the teachings and techniques of the Medicine Wheel.

In The Medicine Wheel, Sun Bear and Wabun put forth a whole new system of earth astrology to help guide people not only in their daily living but also in their life paths. In the authors' own words, this book was written to "help all people relate better to our Earth Mother...and find a kinship with the universe." The Medicine Wheel is a beautiful and inspiring approach to graceful, holistic living in trying modern times. The Medicine Wheel's philosophy is derived from a basic principle known by all people who live close to the earth: Once you fully embrace the elemental forces of nature, you become a part of the whole. Let this book be your first step toward finding peace and prosperity — and your own special place in the circle of life.

Synopsis:

This redefined approach to earth astrology developed by Chippewa medicine man Sun Bear can guide people not only in their daily living but in their life paths as well. Every earth sign can walk in balance on the Earth Mother.

Sun Bear's Medicine Wheel Earth Astrology is a must for anyone interested in New Age harmonic healing. As a therapist and an artist, I find this manual to be an invaluable resource. I have been specializing in totems of every kind for decades, and I know that this is the best publication available for relating animal totems to astrology.

Endless insight can be discovered in every chapter, regardless of your astrological totem. Sun Bear's "down-to-earth" approach is anything but insincere or tongue in cheek. The prophecies reflected in Sun Bear's visions serve as warnings to all who are listening.

In addition to the chapters on the moons and their totems, readers can gain knowledge on the various ways the number four is reflected in native religion. Sun Bear also includes the relationships between the turtle, frog, butterfly and thunderbird clans, shown by combining the elements which are symbolized by each clan. Instruction in creating your own medicine wheel concludes this masterpiece by the late, great seer and medicine man.
