Awakening the Eagle: A Guide to the Medicine Wheel

In "Awakening the Eagle: An Introduction to the Medicine Wheel", I hope to deliver to the reader a true gift of wisdom and hope.

We follow the spiritual journey of young Okwaho as he travels the road of life with wise old Lightning Eyes, his guide and teacher. Along the way, the boy learns about his traditions and the wisdom that lies at the heart of his culture. He is also taught the importance and the power of the Medicine Wheel, a force that mirrors all that exists.

Through the use of tribal parables, history, philosophy, and ceremonial observations the reader is carried into a world in which the riddles of life are revealed, many of its answers found in Native American culture and tradition. The Medicine Wheel is perhaps the most powerful tool, representing all facets of our universe.

Okwaho (and the reader) discovers the importance of word clues—like directions on a map— and what they mean to his life. He learns to identify the colors, animals and emotions of the wheel and how they relate to ideas and concepts. Through this journey, we become acutely aware of our senses and how they affect our perceptions of life and living.

If you are looking for a tool that can help you better understand your purpose - and help you fulfill it - the Medicine Wheel can help. The book, "Awakening the Eagle: A Guide to the Medicine Wheel" is designed to teach, to open our hearts and to remind us of the importance of our senses being open to the experiences of the Universe. You have found a text that, both mirror and window, provides insight into your soul and frames a view of our shared and sacred duty of making the world a better place for all of us.. humans, animals, plants, and the earth itself.
