The Essential Elements of the Medicine Wheel The medicine wheel is created in the shape of a sacred circle. It is a symbol that represents unity, wholeness, mother earth and father creator. The circle is divided with two intersecting lines. These lines represent the divine masculine and divine feminine; the two divine energies that are the seed of all of creation. The two intersecting lines also form the cross that is the symbol of modern Christianity. The line running north and south on the medicine wheel, is a symbol for the father God. The line running east and west is symbolic of the holy spirit and divine feminine. The energy of the north, east, south and west describe an energy that runs through people, culture, ideas and the land. In this way, the medicine wheel demonstrates the interrelatedness of the world. Each direction on the medicine wheel is associated with a season, a time, an animal and a color.
