Words from Apache artist Cynthia Whitehawk:

MEDICINE WHEEL - Symbolizes the individual journey we each must take to find our own path. Within the Medicine Wheel are the Four Directions and the Four Sacred Colors. The Circle represents the Circle of Life.

Medicine Wheel teaches us that all lessons are equal, as are all talents and abilities. Every living creature will one day see and experience each spoke of the wheel, and know those truths. It is a pathway to truth, healing, peace and harmony. The circle is never ending, life without end.

Black is the West, the place where the rain originates, place of power, strength, the ending of one which is the beginning of another.
White is the North, cleansing, purifying and strengthening power. Teaches courage, endurance and wisdom that comes with the trials of life.
Red is the East, a place where peace, light and new life rise up each day. Birth is from the East, renewal of Spirit, awakenings.
Yellow is the South, sees a sun that is strongest when facing this direction. The yellow South represents the peak of life, warmth, understanding and ability.
