Excerpts from Spirit Talk:
The animals often associated with [the West
direction] are the bear and the deer. How
ever many people find that personal
affinities with each of the directions may reveal themselves differently in
time … Personal colors and animals may be added alongside the universal
[Medicine Wheel] motifs, as contacts, experience, familiarity, and intuition
accrues with the seasons … [West] is a direction of deep return and
recognition. The west receives us in our mysterious entirety … links the
physical plane—west, with the mental plane—east … With the arrival of autumn we
reach a culmination of medicines and seasons. Our harvests, the time of
gathering and picking is among the most mysterious, gathering these secretive
and familial beings, the beings of seed. We can join our essences with theirs—our
dualities, singularities, multiplicities, and universalities, unique and
connected upon all directions of the Medicine Wheel, but especially the
direction of the west in the autumn, twilight of the year.
