Morning Star Cushion

The Morning Star is considered one of the most important and sacred constellations of the Lakota belief system. This Star is seen in the East, at a time and place when the Sun (Wi) is almost ready to greet the day. During this twilight time, the Morning Star is surrounded by the changing sky; black (night), red/orange (beginning of dawn) and blue / white (the beginning of day; the journey of Wi ). This movement coincides with the Four Stages of Life; the transition from birth to youth (a time of learning and growing), middle age to old age (a time of reflection and wisdom), showing our journey and purpose in life.
