More about medicine wheels...

Medicine wheels are places to pray, meditate, contemplate and strengthen our connection to our life energy and the Universe. Used properly, the medicine wheel can help us to better understand ourselves and our relationships with all of creation.

Native Americans built medicine wheels where the Earth's energy is strong. One of the most famous medicine wheels is the Big Horn Medicine Wheel, found in Medicine Mountain, Wyoming. They are also found in places like Sedona, Arizona.

I found photographer Courtney Milne's book Sacred Places in North America: A Journey into the Medicine Wheel, to be full of valuable insights about not only medicine wheels, but other sacred landmarks and sites found across the U.S. and Canada.

Courtney Milne's website. His photographs are extremely compelling and powerful. Milne's website contains a wonderful collection of galleries, including some works by his students.
