Medicine Wheel
4 Sacred Directions
Medicine Wheel

 
The smudge is offered to the Creator, Grandmother Earth and Grandfather Sky. 

We face the East: Great Spirit of light, come to us out of the East, with the power of the sun. Let us remember always that you gave the gift of a new day. 

We Face the South: Great Spirit of Creation, send us the warm soothing winds from the South. Unfold us like the gentle breeze that unfolds the leaves on the trees. 

We Face the West: Great Life Giving Spirit, we face the west, the direction of sun down. 
Let us remember every day, that the moment will come when our sun will go down. 

We Face the North: Great Spirit of Love, come to us with the power of the North. 
Make us courageous when the cold winds falls upon us.
