The White Earth Medicine Pouch

The White Earth Medicine Pouch
The pouch, when closed, is symbolic of the womb. The bringer forth of life and the vessel that nurtures life.
When opened flat the outer circle is representative of the full moon with the sun being held in her belly, for without the sun the full moon would not reflect light.
The sun and moon are symbolic of the masculine and feminine principals or aspects of the world and ourselves.
On the inside is the five-pointed star or pentacle representing the perfected human being within their circle of power as our power must be contained and we must own it. It is who we are.

The Four directions are identified as follows-

North, which is the direction of greatest power and its element, is earth. It is symbolic of our physical body.
East - its element is air. It is symbolic of our intellectual body or aspect.
South - its element is fire. It is symbolic of our spiritual body or aspect.
West - its element is water. It is symbolic of our emotional body or aspect.

The pouch contains our "Medicine", the aspects of life to be contemplated. It can be used as a map for our spiritual path. It can hold anything which we feel is medicine - a few crystals, a feather, a nut, herbs or whatever we are attracted to. The pouch contains and develops the energy as a womb nurtures and allows the life within it to grow until it is ready to be born.
