The Medicine Wheel
Atria Books (Verlag)
978-0-671-76420-3 (ISBN)
When Sun Bear had a vision of the Medicine Wheel, a framework in which to teach humans how to better understand and live in harmony with the Earth, he did not know how far-reaching that vision would be. In THE MEDICINE WHEEL, Sun Bear and his medicine helper, Wabun, share this vision to help others 'walk in balance on the Earth Mother', by setting forth a whole new system of earth astrology to guide people not only in their daily living but in their life path as well. In the 25th anniversary edition of the classic book on Native American earth astrology, there is a new introduction by the co-author, Marlise Wabun Wind, that describes the incredible impact THE MEDICINE WHEEL had all over the world, as well as a tribute to the late Sun Bear. There are also fifteen new pieces of art by renowned artist, Sandra Stanton.
Sun Bear, a sacred teacher of Chippewa descent, is the founder and medicine chief of the Bear Tribe, a multiracial educational society. He is a world-renowned lecturer and teacher and the author or coauthor of eight books. He is publisher of the magazine Wildfire and founder of the World Earth Fund.
