The description of the positions and totems and their meanings given on these pages is meant only as an introduction, and not a complete explanation. Meditate and study further for a more complete understanding. Sun Bear Medicine Wheel is NOT the Medicine Wheel of any Native Nation (Tribe), but comes from a Vision given to Sun Bear by Grandfather.
DEDICATED TO FATHER SUN: The first Stone of the center Circle around the
Stone to honor Creator. It is placed just South of the Eastern direction, a few inches to a
foot or so from the center Stone.
In the books by Sun Bear and Wabun Wind the first Stone placed in the center Circle
around Creator is the one for Mother Earth. But I place Father Sun in this first position
because I feel that he is the most powerful and important. Without the light and energy
given by Father Sun, Mother Earth could not give birth to all her children. She would be
barren.
THE ANIMAL TOTEM FOR FATHER SUN IS LIZARD
The plant totem for Father Sun is the beautiful Sunflower who is renown for loving Father Sun. Various parts of Sunflower are good for the heart, kidneys, skin and hair. Please click on the Sunflower picture to visit Stanford Solar Center's page
"The Sun On Earth", for some excellent general information (not spiritual, but we
can learn from it) regarding Father Sun.
The "mineral" totem is an open Geode. Geodes are round stones with a cavity lined with quartz or amethyst, usually, but not always. The Eagle is said to fly skyward toward Father Sun to bring messages from humans to the Creator. They have been known to put Geodes in their nests - showing a special relationship between Father Sun, Geodes, and Eagles. Geodes increase energy and brain activity. Carrying this stone and/or meditating with it will help us to connect with the vitality, creativity and energy of Father Sun, and help teach us other
qualities and/or knowledge he has to share with us.
Meditating on and connecting with any of these totem Spirits will help us learn lessons
regarding action, creativity, energy, and in understanding the Masculine principle.
