A few days ago a dear friend of mine did my medicine wheel for me during her visit.
Your only supposed to have your medicine wheel done once, because the 7 animals you draw, are the animal that walk with you through out life.
The other two animals in your wheel are determined by what animals you feel the most drawn to and which are your favorites. This makes up a total of 9 animals in someones medicine wheel.
The last time I had my wheel done was in 1994. I knew I drew all birds back then, but I wasn't sure where they fell in the spread, so we decided to do it again and this time I recorded it.
Surprisingly, I drew four of the same animals as I drew back in 1994, which was the raven, hummingbird, hawk and eagle.
The tiger and the cat I consider the two animals in my wheel that are not drawn from the deck. These animals have always been my favorites and also the two I have always been drawn to.
Falling to the east on my wheel is the raven.
South is the lizard.
West is the hummingbird.
North is the mountain lion.
Above is the fox.
Below is the hawk.
Within is the eagle.
This is pretty fun and interesting to do, especially for animal lovers.
Yes yes and yes though this variation is slightly different but I would like to get this kind of reading very interesting. I beleave the fox,raven.owl and bear are very close to me from experiences I've had in my life. Even the little mouse is important to this sacred medicine wheel My friend you amaze me have a beautiful day dear!
ReplyDeleteHello Gypsy Butterfly,
ReplyDeleteI am back to blogging after some major changes in my life:
I have retired from work and live in the South of France now.
Sorry I could not visit your blog sooner, but I was in the process of moving and had no access to internet.
Wishing you and your family a pleasant summer,
Olivia Eva
Hello Jamerson,
ReplyDeleteYour most likely very right! The animals we are most drawn to walk with us through life and we can ask for their special strengths and instincts when we need them.
I use to have this deck back in the 90's and I loved them, but unfortunately they were lost through out the years.
Hope you can connect with your power animals.
Have a wonderful day!
Lydia
Hello Eva,
ReplyDeleteI AM SOOOOO HAPPY AND EXCITED TO HEAR FROM YOU!
I look forward to visiting your blog too!
I have thought about you often and I'm so happy that you are now retired and living where you want to be!!!!!!!
It must be beautiful in France! I'm sure the weather is very nice too!
You don't even have to apologize for not visiting my blog, I totally understand.
It's so nice that you are now able to start a fresh new chapter in your life!
Have a wonderful summer!

Hi, Lydia!
ReplyDeleteHow fascinating that you had your medicine wheel read. I have never thought of it being done with cards.
I know that American Natives built them of stone.
There is information that I can share with you, if you would like to email me.
It's a beutiful day here...full of sunshine!
I hope yours is,too!
Hello Jan,
ReplyDeleteYes, They are native american cards. I love the native american customs, even though I am not Indian myself.
I would love to email you and chat about about animal guides! Thank you!
I will email you later tonight and at the same time I will also give you my email address too!
Write to you soon,
Wishing you a wonderful evening,
Lydia
P.S. I'm so happy we were both able to enjoy the sunshine today!
Dear Lydia..please don't think I am ignoring you--I sent a very long email several hours ago, and it was just returned as undelieverable. I checked to be sure that the address was correct, and it was, so maybe it has something to do with my server. I will try again, later, and meanwhile, perhaps you could just send something to me, and I will just hit 'reply' to answer it, okay?
ReplyDeleteJan
Hello Jan,
ReplyDeleteSure I will do that. I'm sorry that it's so hard for both of our outlook expresses to do that. Mine never worked right for me.
I should have wrote my email address to you in the letter I sent you.
I will send you another email by morning.
Have a great evening,
Lydia
Dear Gypsy Butterfly,
ReplyDeleteI will visit both your blogs regularly since I enjoy your postings and hearing from you.
Unfortunately I cannot enter my previous blogs, the French key on this computer does not spell the password correctly. I will have to think about starting a new blog some time in the future, unless my old PC with the English key can be repaired ...
Over here, in the South of France it is hot !
You would enjoy it.
Take care,
Olivia Eva
Lydia..I received your email today, but I still cannot get my mail delivered to you.
ReplyDeleteThe notice that I received says that the connection timed out with your server,(and gave the name of your server) and would be removed from the queue.
I'm sorry..I don't know what else to do.
Do you have another account that you could use, maybe?
Hello Olivia,
ReplyDeleteI would love it if you visited my blog regularly! I missed you very much and I'm so happy that your back.
I hope you eventually do start another blog. Your blogs are very interesting and you display beautiful artwork.
Looking forward to your visiting me and also maybe your future blog if you decide!
Wishing you a very nice day!
Lydia
