To some indigenous peoples of North America, the medicine wheel is a metaphor for a variety of spiritual concepts. A medicine wheel may also be a stone monument that illustrates this metaphor. Historically, most medicine wheels follow the basic pattern of having a center of stone, and surrounding that is an outer ring of stones with "spokes" (lines of rocks) radiating from the center to the cardinal directions (east, south, west, and north). These stone structures may be called "medicine wheels" by the nation which built them, or more specific terms in that nation's language.

  • Ein Medicine Wheel (dt:. Medizinrad) ist ein heiliger Ort mehrerer Kulturen der Prärieindianer. Sie liegen in den nördlichen Great Plains, im Norden der Vereinigten Staaten und im Süden Kanadas. In stilisierter Form wird das Medizinrad insbesondere von den Lakota als religiöses Symbol verwendet. Als Symbol wurde es auch in esoterischen Kreisen aufgegriffen, insbesondere in der Variante von Sun Bear. (de)
  • La roue de médecine est un cercle sacré aménagé par les Autochtones à l'aide de pierres. Sa représentation iconographique est devenue un symbole de la culture autochtone, qui a été assimilé dans le mysticisme New Age. Aussi appelée cercle de vie, la roue de médecine est à la base des traditions autochtones des Amériques. Ce cercle peut être utilisé aussi bien dans les rituels des sages que dans la vie courante des laïcs. (fr)
  • Las ruedas medicinales son construcciones compuestas de piedras colocadas siguiendo un patrón en particular: un centro de una o varias piedras, un círculo externo (a veces irregular) y varias líneas a manera de radios. Hoy día algunas de estas ruedas son construidas por los indígenas de Norteamérica para propósitos astronómicos, rituales y didácticos, entre otros. (es)

These stone structures may be called "medicine wheels" by the nation which built them, or more specific terms in that nation's language. Physical medicine wheels made of stone were constructed by several different indigenous peoples in North America, especially the Plains Indians. They are associated with religious ceremonies. As a metaphor, they may be used in healing work or to illustrate other cultural concepts. The medicine wheel has been adopted as a symbol by a number of pan-Indian groups, or other native groups whose ancestors did not traditionally use it as a symbol or structure. It has also been appropriated by non-indigenous people, usually those associated with New Age communities. (en)
  • Nella cultura degli Indiani d'America il termine medicina non si limita alla guarigione fisica del corpo come in occidente, ma indica invece il potere che si ottiene dalla conoscenza dei segreti dell'universo, compresi quelli riguardanti la salute spirituale. Così il termine sciamano è utilizzato solo dagli occidentali, mentre i loro uomini sacri sono detti "uomini di medicina" perché mediatori con il divino, fonte della conoscenza. (it)
