The Spirit Pathways
The Spirit Pathways, which lead from each Spirit Keeper Stone toward the Center Circle, remind us of the gifts of the Spirit Keepers and teach us about the qualities that we need to go from the outer part of the Medicine Wheel to the Center.
The
Spirit Pathways provide a road map of the physical, mental, emotional, and
spiritual qualities that can take us from ordinary reality to the sacred space,
the center of life, to the Creator.
Come to the Spirit Pathway stones
to give thanks or ask for help.
These are reminders of our human gifts and
responsibilities
