The above diagram shows all 36 stone positions in the Sun Bear Medicine Wheel.
There is a Spirit Keeper at each of the four Cardinal directions.
Each one has certain "gifts" to aid us as we walk the Circle of Life, and to help us
reach the Center and Oneness. You'll note that there are three stones laid between
each Spirit Keeper and the Center Circle. These stones are for these gifts and make
a "path" from a Spirit Keeper to Creator.
Gifts or path listed below (outside to inside)
Placement = | Outside | Center | Inside |
The Eastern Path = | Clarity | Wisdom | Illumination |
The Southern Path = | Growth | Trust | Love |
