Secrets of West

Brown Bear with Cub

I had to walk a long time on the Medicine Wheel before I was ready to merge with West. Water is the Element of West. The Spirit Keeper of West is Mudjekeewis, who manifests so beautifully as the Great Bear.

On the wheel, the time of the Mudjekeewis is the Evening till Midnight, autumn, our adult years to elder time. This is the time of slowing down & taking stock of experiences, of going within, like the Grizzly in autumn, of going within spiritually, gaining strength from the knowledge earned; prepare for the time of “winter” or later times.

Like East it touches all three worlds. The depth of the Lower World, the mystical and magical middle world, the ancestral sky wisdom.

As with South, West widened my spiritual vision. We begin in the water, we gestate in water. Dreams and visions gestate in the darkness and the moisture of our fertile imagination and creativity. When I view a sunset, or look on the line, between land and water, I am reminded of my Ancestors stories of…. the betwixt and the between. The land is known, but still very mysterious. We seek to rest at the end of the day and chase our dreams, which is why dreams, lie in the West.

South

South is a wonderful place to explore. It is warm and fiery, and not without its own lessons. The spirit keeper of south is Shawnodese and the spirit manifested as South is Coyote. However, spirit has shown me that Mouse shares this walk with Coyote.

South is the element of fire. I live in central Alberta, and the consensus is… any part of the country to the south, is usually hotter. This is of course, a northern hemisphere perspective. A Medicine Wheel in Australia for example may have Earth in the South, and Fire in the North. [Read more…]
