Book Description

April 15, 1997
Sacred knowledge to understand ourselves and the natural world.

White Eagle Medicine Wheel is a unique pack designed as a simple, step-by-step guide to the sacred teachings of Native Americans. Using the illustrated book and its powerful deck of cards, and with Wa-Na-Nee-Che as your guide, you will progress through three levels of learning. You will be taught how to communicate with the animals who will show you their medicine ways; you will discover how to access the energies and teachings of our elders; and you will learn how to use the four creative sources of power through their archetypal symbols.

White Eagle Medicine Wheel is a resource for problem-solving on all fronts, whether at home, at work, or in relationships. You will quickly realize that its teachings generate remarkable inspiration and intuitive powers.

The native peoples of America are appalled at the way we are treating our planet and feel that we are on the brink of social and ecological disaster. They believe that only through deeper spiritual understanding of ourselves and of the natural world can this be prevented. Until recently, Native Americans have been reluctant to share their wisdom with the Western world. But now, with the agreement of elders and spiritual advisors in the United States and Canada, Wa-Na-Nee-Che, and his scribe Eliana, reveal how this sacred knowledge can benefit us all. Wa-Na-Nee-Che-- which in Lakota means He who is needed by the people-- is one of the very few remaining Native Americans willing to share the original wisdom of the old way of life. He will help you to discover the inner self. You will learn how to live in harmony, not only with yourself, but with all living things around you, and with all the children of Mother Earth. You will never look back.

* Native American wisdom for everyday use
* Easy-to-use method for problem-solving, healing yourself and others
* 46 beautiful medicine wheel cards
* Illustrated book gives full instructions on using the cards

2.0 out of 5 stars Beginning Shamanism (Not Native American or Animal), June 6, 2005
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: White Eagle Medicine Wheel: Native American Wisdom As A Way of Life (Hardcover)
"White Eagle Medicine Wheel: A Native American Way of Life" by Wa-Na-Nee-Chee is an excellent introduction to the tools that shamans use. This book is divided into learning from three groups - animals, grandmothers and grandfathers, and totems. In addition, Wa-Na-Nee-Chee inserts himself into the book to guide the reader into the inner mysteries of shamanism. By doing the card spreads and readings, the reader has a safe way to begin the practice of shamanism. The reader can discover their own meanings of each concept that "White Eagle Medicine Wheel" presents.

Although, Wa-Na-Nee-Chee presents his book and card set as "Native American" wisdom, people would do better by learning the cultures of specific tribes. Medicine Wheels are usually found in Plains Cultures, and Totem Poles in only Northwest American Cultures. You would not find the two together in the same culture, as the author seems to imply.

Although, the writings of the animals are similar to "Medicine Cards" by David Carson and Jaime Sams, the beautiful cards do offer an intuitive way to know the animals. In addition, the animal teachings can be read alone or with teachings such as `record keeping' and `birthing'. To learn how to integrate animals into a shamanistic practice, the reader is well served by this book. However, if the reader is interested in learning more about animals or Native American cultures, they should seek out other books instead of this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love these cards!, July 27, 2002
By 
This review is from: White Eagle Medicine Wheel: Native American Wisdom As A Way of Life (Hardcover)
They are beautiful. Very colourful, with detail, lots of symbology and meaning. The book is easy to read from cover to cover, and as a reference book. I highly recommend this set over the others that I've seen.
