Medicine Wheel Mandala by Marg Thomson
ORIGINAL $2,800 plus postage and handling
OK – I will try to keep this brief, but there will end up being a journal entry about dreaming sometime! LOL!
Short version? Rolled over in bed one morning, yawned, opened my eyes and there standing at the side of my bed is this beautiful medicine woman with a wolf.
“Paint this”, she said and the image was there in my mind.
I was still working on the otters and seals celtic crosses and so had to finish them off. While I was doing that, the original vision morphed into the one you see before you. This mandala painted itself. The big powerful ones do. There is so much power in this painting that when I finished it and sat back to look at it, I cried. They were tears of gratitude and thanks.
This is my gift to all for the New Year…
Thank You Great Spirit for the gift that runs through me. Thank You for the joy it brings, for the power it bestows, for the healing…
Thank You. I am blessed beyond all imagining.
Thank You. I am grateful for every breath I take, for all that I am, for all that I have.
I Thank You…
From the campfire burning in the centre…
The four medicine women stand in the four directions. East with Eagle, South with Coyote, West with Bear, North with Buffalo. The hand prints to each side have the animals paw/talon prints overlaid – we are all one! Beneath each are the symbols I saw – Golden Door to the East, Talking Stick to the South, Drum to the West, Sacred Pipe to the North. The moons in their phases…
The Red Road encircling… The arrows leading out to golden bows… The Blue Road encompassing it all…
The original is one metre square canvas gallery wrap, acrylic with metallic overlay.

This is a sensitively done mandala or shield design, its like a prayer. Often the 4 directions are referred to as ‘doors’ when used in ceremony, and your vision depicts that kind of imagery. Different doors, yet all an aspect of the same unified whole.

Thank you Helena – it is a shield mandala and I certainly opened the doors when I painted this one! Happy New Year:)

This is really something!! Did you research or did it just present itself? I know the Natives loved it!!

It was given to me in a dream:) I have been involved in NA womens moon lodges for over 10 years and was aware of much of the significance of the symbology – however, I did go online to refresh my memory and my intent:) Cheers:)

That is awesome…I have quite a few friends Native and mixed bloods..one in particular taught me many Native crafts including peyote(gourd stitch), lazy stitch etc…I have some samples in my portfolio….btw, do you have any indigenous blood? or do you just love them like I do?(eng,scot)
