Every shamanic tradition embodies the Wheel Of Life, also known as the Celtic medicine wheel, spiral of life or the wheel of the year. In Celtic shaminism, the Celtic Wheel of Life is a visual method to help you understand the cyclical nature of life, death and rebirth – a belief held in common in all cultures and all times. The wheel of life is a guide for navigating your life journey in harmony with nature and your own inner resonance.
The Celtic medicine wheel revolves around four main directions, east, south, west and north. Each direction represents a season and the energy associated with that season. By understanding these natural cycles, we can harmoniously align our actions, emotions, and spiritual practices with nature.
The Four Directions
East: Spring, Air, Eagle – A time of fresh energy, to focus on growth, starting new things, learn new things, deepen your spiritual practice.
South: Summer, Fire, Snake – A time of action, expansion, vitality. Ideal time to engage in outdoor activities, set physical goals, engage in transformation.
West: Autumn, Water, Jaguar – A time for letting go, harvesting, introspection, turning inward, connecting with your emotions, engage in water rituals.
North: Winter, Earth, Hummingbird – Winter is the time for grounding, resting and doing inner work, slowing down, coming into stillness.
Emotional Healing
