AUSPICIOUS SYMBOLS and RITUALS of the INNER WHEEL CLUB It seems unlikely that the founders of Inner Wheel could have known about feng shui, but the having the insignia they designed to represent their club is very auspicious and signifies many good things. Te Inner Wheel Logo has become an international symbol representing friendship and service to others. Te Logo sports an inner wheel
with 24 spokes sitting inside a larger Rotary wheel (also with 24 cogs, which is the Rotary Club symbol). Te internal 24 cogs represent all the clubs from all directions of the
world – not dissimilar to the 24 mountain directions contained within the feng shui zodiac circle. Inside the wheel are six spokes, representing the six main office holders of President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer (and so on) responsible for turning the wheel harmoniously and ensuring continuity always. Te blue inner ring represents the link with other organisations and the centre of the wheel represents the individual. Hence the club rallies around its members, but it is the member who becomes the core of the wheel. Te colours used are Gold and Blue – both harmonious feng shui colours – water and metal – in a productive relationship and symbolising prosperity, mentorship and networking.
EXCHANGING BANNERETTES – Tere are about 4000 clubs around the world and each has their own specially designed bannerettes. A popular tradition of the Inner Wheel Clubs is to exchange Club bannerettes each time they collaborate on projects or arrange to meet each other. Tis gesture of goodwill creates strong bonds of friendship between clubs. Te bannerettes are displayed prominently during AGMs and conventions to celebrate the friendships between clubs.

RED ROSE OF FRIENDSHIP – Originating from a Swedish custom adopted back in1957 since the Swedish chapter of IWW was founded, Inner Wheel International members offer a single red rose to each other to signify their congratulations, friendship, gratitude and love. Offering flowers is also a custom practised by many traditions, and is especially powerful for receiving blessings of peace, harmony and beauty.
HAND BELL – As part of Inner Wheel tradition, all formal meetings are initiated by ringing a ritual Inner Wheel bell before session begins. Te history behind the bell-ringing ritual is not known in Tibetan and Hindu rituals, bells are used to dispel obstacles and neutralise negative vibrations in the atmosphere. Tus ringing the bell before a serious Inner Wheel meeting is a very appropriate ritual to ensure smooth meetings!
FLAME OF FRIENDSHIP – When the Australian chapter of the Club was formed in 1979, the club started the ritual of lighting a candle just before and after ceremonies. Tis flame was to represent the warm feelings of pride associated with being part of the Inner Wheel Club. Tis simple but profound ritual has been adopted internationally by all the clubs and named the “Flame of Friendship”. A beautiful poem is usually read just before lighting the candle.
