Sacred Circle Making
Everything the power of the world does is done in a circle. The sky is round and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing and always come back again to where they were. ~
Black Elk, Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux 1863-1950
These are the 12 circles I created going through the process of the great round as written by Joan Kellogg and taught to me by Susanne Fincher and Creating Mandalas.
Stages I created through exploring the Great Round in the CreatingMandalas workshop. |
