Medicine Wheel Astrology, Orion Plain and Simple

Description

A practical guide introducing the Native American astrological system. Like their Western and Chinese counterparts, Native Americans developed an astrological system for understanding the world and envisioning harmony in the universe. Based on animals and clans and including corresponding trees, stones, and colors, the medicine wheel is broken into 12 moons similar to the 12 signs in Western astrology. In fascinating detail and with illustrations throughout, this helpful guide explores an exciting and little-known aspect of Native American culture. Includes a guide to the signs, symbols, and seasonal associations as well as illuminating charts, explanations of the medicine wheel, and practical ideas for using Native American astrology as an oracle. This is a book for anyone who is fascinated by Native American legend and lore.
