FROM PAGE 58:

"The South Wind awakens the senses and teaches us to appreciate music, art, food, and our bodies. It is the direction of love, sensuality, and sexuality."

Sexuality "is represented by the ELK, a close relative of the DEER. A person with Elk Medicine" has the power to attract the opposite sex and may counsel people who have questions about courtship."

"Love and sexual passion, however, must be balanced with intellect and spirit, lest the emotions of the South burn like a fire out of control."

"Traditional Native American Elders stress the importance of balancing sexual passion and spontaneity with intelligence and modesty. We should express sexual feelings with sensivity, honor, and respect for a partner, always considering the harmony between two people more important than personal needs."
