Center: The animal spirit that appears in the center of the Medicine Wheel reflects who you are at this point in time.
Wolverine
Wolverine is thought to be a bridge between the physical and spirit worlds. He has the ability to survive in the most difficult terrains - and his message to you is of inner strength. Have you forgotten just how powerful you really are? If so, it's time to refocus and re-dedicate - and remember that Wolverine medicine runs through your blood.
North: The animal that appears in the North shows you how to walk your talk. Here lies your connection with your Higher Self.
Dolphin
Ever watched a school of dolphins playing with each other, or with the surfers in their midst? If you have, you'll understand the message Dolphin brings today - the message of joyful play. Dolphins are in total harmony with their environment, and practice love for each other - always helping the young, or a sick comrade. Join Dolphin's happy community today and celebrate how much we're all alike, instead of focusing on our differences.
East: This animal reveals the direction you need to take in order to gain clarity about your present situation.
Wolf
Wolf can survive either as a loner or as part of a pack, and he howls to remind you that you have to balance the needs of others with the needs of the self. If you're giving yourself away to your own detriment, you are living in opposition to Wolf medicine. Return to balance - and begin feeding your emotions, your mind, and your body.
South: This animal explores issues dealing with your inner child, and shows the energy needed to trust your own process.
Ant
Ant is dutiful, patient, industrious and focused. If you ever put an obstacle in the middle of an ant trail, you'll notice that ant will go over it, around it, or even under it - but ant will NOT let the obstacle drive him backwards. Above all, ant is a team player, and knows that if each member of the team does his assigned task, the team will succeed. Do you have goals that are best met by team effort? If so, get the other players off the bench and let them into your game.
West: The animal that appears in the West holds the answer to your present challenge.
Owl
Many cultures associate Owl with death, while others see Owl as the "night eagle" - the bird that embodies shamanism. Owl has exceptional hearing, and his medicine is one of clairaudience - the ability to hear spirit. If Owl has silently glided into your life today, he is asking you to face your own fears, and listen to the messages spirit is sending you.
