New Age Views
Desy (2007) describes a New Age-era sacred hoop as a developmental, introspective tool, linking with it the Classical Elements, totems and cardinal directions: "The medicine wheel represents the sacred circle of life, its basic four directions, and the elements. Animal totems serve as guardian of each of the directions." Desy also outlines some of the substances and fetishes involved in the construction and opening of a sacred hoop as a personal rite of "sacred play": "A personal medicine wheel can be made using fetishes such as crystals, arrowheads, seashells, feathers, animal fur/bones, and so on.

Famous quotes containing the words age and/or views:
“Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“No work of art ever puts forward views. Views belong to people who are not artists.”
