The Circle ![]() First Nations people believe in a creation-based form of spirituality which has at its centre, the symbol of the sacred circle. The circle represents a harmonious relationship with nature and with all living things who are our relatives and that all things are connected and equal because in a circle there is no beginning and no end. Mother Earth is often referred to as a Medicine Wheel or Sacred Hoop because she is circular and she also turns in a circle. As Black Elk taught: "Birds make their nests in circles; we dance in circles, the circle stands for the Sun and Moon and all round things in the natural world. The circle is an endless creation, with endless connections to the present, all that went before and all that will come in the future." ![]() http://www.shannonthunderbird.com/me..._teachings.htm Last edited by day; 08-09-2009 at 09:50 PM. |
