This is an incredibly beautiful book, and very rare in its power. It open doors for the heart and soul, in ways that stay with you, change things, and become part of one's own living. Sun Bear has successfully brought the life of Native American spirituality to us, and the feeling is something like being introduced to Thunderbird on a quiet and gentle day. An imminently accessible and easy book, I think it's impossible to not be profoundly affected by the understanding and gifts of Spirit it offers. Those who already hold their relationship to nature and Earth's spirituality central to their lives can benefit endlessly from Sun and Wabun Bear's work, and newer seekers may find their journey illuminated and uplifted.

Don't get me wrong.....the book is full of interesting information and facts, but the read is rather dry, and I lost interest numerous times before finally finishing. The Medicine Wheel gives a rather comprehensive overview of Earth Astrology as viewed by the Chippewa Shaman Sun Bear and Wabun (Sun Bear's Medicine Helper). Sun Bear has written numerous articles and papers, so his writing is held in fairly high esteem. Still not one of my most enjoyable or readable books. Recommended with reservation.

Complete and comprehensive explanation of the medicine wheel. We have other books and this is among the best.
