Unlock the Wisdom of the Medicine Wheel

The Medicine Wheel Oracle card deck is a powerful tool that illustrates each stone of the universal medicine wheel based on indigenous tradition. Each card carries deep spiritual insights and guidance to help a querent navigate life's journey and connect with the energies of the four directions as one completes the circle of life.

There are thirty-six stones in the Medicine Wheel having forty-two potential codes for understanding their meaning. The Medicine Wheel Oracle card deck takes a shamanic approach to interpreting the codes as symbolic associations with nature, wildlife, ancestors, and spirit.

These cards represent meaningful paths to achieve a greater insight into the process of individuation throughout the growth of the mind, body, and spirit.

The Zero card depicted here is analogous to the Fool card in Tarot and leads to the Ninth stone of the Medicine Wheel which introduces the four cardinal directions as an overview of the Medicine Wheel as the complete Circle of Life from its center to its circumference:

ZERO – The ZERO Medicine Wheel stone is the touchstone of completion, culmination, and the harvest of soulful endeavors. Nine signifies the wisdom distilled from lived experience, the fruition of cycles, and the compassionate acceptance of endings that prepare the ground for future beginnings. It is the archetype of the sage or elder, the one who carries the lamp of understanding and who offers guidance gleaned from the journey thus far. This card is analogous to the Fool card in the Rider-Waite divination system and is essentially a wild card. In this reading; however, we also include the energy of the ninth stone and card which explain the codes of the cardinal directions. Soon. Members will be able to access the entire deck when it is published in a full version members only section.

In the Rider-Waite tradition, the ninth card is the Hermit, bearing a lantern to illuminate the way for others, symbolizing solitude, inner reflection, and the quiet gathering of insight before a new chapter unfolds. Within the Lenormand deck, Nine is represented by the bouquet—a sign of blessings, appreciation, and the beauty that arises from acts of kindness and gratitude. The lesson of Nine is to recognize and honor the gifts that come with closure, to integrate the lessons learned, and to share this bounty with the greater collective.

Nine’s energy encourages the querent to embrace cycles of release and renewal with grace, to see the sacredness in farewells, and to intentionally pass on wisdom and healing. The totem animal for Nine is the deer, gentle and perceptive, a symbol of peaceful passage and the soft strength found in vulnerability. Guided by the deer, the seeker is reminded to move through transitions with dignity, humility, and an openness to the mysterious gifts that accompany every ending.

This stone calls for a pause, a deep breath at the summit, where one can look back with reverence and look ahead with hope—a moment suspended in the fullness of gratitude, before the spiral of life beckons the soul onward to new horizons.
