Tell me whom you love, and I’ll tell you who you are. 

African American proverb

Daily Guidance:

To fit all the people in the world around the Wheel you allocate one quadrant to each race.  This can be done by using the basic color system on the Wheel. Because the Wheels of different tribes and cultures have been around for so long, there are many variations on the theme of color and other dimensions.  

Cynthia's Journal:

The Color Wheel and the Global Wheel

East is Yellow – representing the yellow race – of Asia

South is Red – and represents the red race – of native America

West is Black – and represents the black race – of Africa

North is White – and represents the white race – of Europe

The largest group in the world today is the mixed tribe. The on-going Process of globalization continues to stir every one in from every where. Every kind of music, art and information already circles the world, along with every kind of commerce and religion, all being carried by Internet, satellite, radio, television and film. 

The Wheel is as useful in this day and age as it has always been.  Global communities need global models and methods.  The Wheels are the most time-tested, globally appropriate frameworks we have to work with.  They provide the essential inclusive picture that reminds us the Earth, everyone and everything on it, participates in an interdependent system.  All the parts combine to create the whole.  The Wheels are about inclusion. Spirit is beyond color, race or gender.

Because the Wheels are so old and so widespread there are many versions of them.  The Wisdom Wheel, with its Universal Laws is a cousin in this great family of Wheels.  Here are two examples of the diversity you find, just within the Native American Wheels of North America, using the color dimension we are covering today. 

The Lakota colors of the Plains Indians;

East is yellow

South is red

West is black

North is white

The Mic Mac colors of the Northeastern Indians;

East is yellow

South is blue

West is red

North is white.   

In ancient times, travel was a lot harder.  People rarely ventured beyond their own territories.  But the Elders knew that people of other colors existed for they were represented on the Lakota Wheels.  Tomorrow we’ll take a look at the physical world, and the elements, and how they fit on the Wheel.
