~25th Anniversary Edition~
by
with a new introduction by coauthor Marlise Wabun Wind
“The time is right for The Medicine Wheel to be received. Our culture’s precarious condition—psychological, social, ecological—requires healing and stabilizing. Earth astrology will certainly help many to do that. I have the deepest trust in Sun Bear’s vision; I have equally deep trust in the medicine ways he and Wabun offer us to restore healthy relations among people and the Earth.”
-John W. White, author of Pole Shift
“…Sun Bear and Wabun bring a needed message to the children of a confused and disintegrating civilization. It is a message of balance, of self-reliance, of attunement with the spirits of the natural world—skills well nigh lost to our overspecialized, pre-packaged, left-brained education. It is a compendium of fascinating information about various animals, minerals and plants, including their characteristics, their healing and special qualities, as well as the uses made of them by the native people of this continent. This is a new vision, a vision for our times.”
-Medicine Story, author of Return to Creation
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: Earth Astrology (Fireside Books/Simon & Schuster Trade Paperbacks; September 6, 2005; ISBN: 0-671-76420-9; $12.95) 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 coauthor, 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 15 new pieces of art by renowned artist, Sandra Stanton.
Let THE MEDICINE WHEEL be your first step toward finding peace and prosperity—and your own special place in the circle of life.
