DESCRIPTION:
The Seven Directions
The directions allow us to know where we stand on our path, what surrounds us, and where we must journey for spiritual understanding. Some have physical counterparts, some do not. Each, however, is a true direction for our spirit and each must be explored along our journey through life. In our tradition, these directions are essential points of learning and wisdom:

East: the place from which we are born into the world. Our first path. The realm of the young ones.
West: the place from which we return to the Great Spirit, to Grandfather. Our final path. The realm of the Elders.
North: the place of secrets and things hidden from our senses. A place of knowledge. The journey of learning and danger. The realm of those who walk the wind.
South: the realm of comfort and warmth, friendship and happiness. A domain of respite. A gathering of Elders, family, young ones, and loved ones.
Above: the domain of Grandfather and those who fly near to him. A place of wisdom and understanding. The rising of our spirit. The realm of messages and spiritual learning.
Below: the domain of stability, nourishment, and foundation. A place of belonging. The Mother we protect and honor. Our earthly home.
Within: the domain where Grandfather places his seed for us to express in our living form. Our own, true path. Our way to his home.
