VA8, Ep. 4 Thunderbirds, Butterflies and the Survivors’ Spirits of Buffalo

On this new visit to the Medicine Wheel, we explore the two remaining totems on the axis of the hoop of life. Totem #7 is held by the electric power of the Thunderbird, and we explore its powerful symbology. Then we alight on station #8 and we find it held aloft by the presence of the butterfly, whose function as an inspiration and mysteriously transformative essence remains intriguing. We exit towards the North, where we find the solid, majestic presence of the Buffalo at totem #8, the iconic representative of North America. We are led by the voices of a poet, the ancestral wisdom of the Indigenous voices of America once again, and a precious book which is dedicated solely to the Buffalo. Come join the Circle!
