As we grow, we change like the seasons, passing through the sections of the circle, learning from each. The center of the circle is the touching of the Spirit, the pure of heart, the truth as everything extends from the circle and everything comes together in the middle. For this reason the circle is used for ceremony, especially those that involve contacting the spirit world. This is a safe and protected place of love, a centered and grounding area. The following are some general beliefs but do not represent the whole collection of varied colors, animal totems , and uses of the sections of medicine wheels.
Different tribes use different symbols.
I personal think we should use the colors and symbols that best represent what we believe. Here is just a small fraction of possible animal totems, plants, growth patterns, and colors. I think there are no 'right' and 'wrong' colors and animal totems . From the bloom we transform into the fruit of the labors. Maturing and growing into an adult to be that who was are.
