| Wind Correspondences |
| North Wind: The wind of death-not necessarily that of physical death, but that of elimination of negativity. Blows cold & is dry or barren, thus paving the way for spells of destruction. If you are depressed, anxious, envious, jealous, angry, & the wind is blowing from the North, face full into it & it will free you of these things. If you wish to break a bad habit, perform any spell of this nature while the North Wind is blowing for added power. The North Wind is the wind of the element Earth. Healing can be greatly aided by the North Wind. Its colour is the black of midnight. East Wind: It's the wind of freshness, renewed life, strength, power & intellect. It's a warm, bracing wind that blows from the point where the Sun, Moon & stars make their appearances. Use with spells concerning dramatic improvements, changes for the better, especially in behaviour. Also with those involving the mind & the element of Air, to which it's magickally related. Love spells are best NOT performed with a Easterly Wind, unless you want a very intellectual love. Its colour is white like light. South Wind: A hot, firey wind. It rules noon, when the Sun (or Moon) is highest in the sky. The South Wind is related to the element of Fire. The South Wind can be used for any type of magick when it's blowing. It's a good time to cast spells. BEWARE that fire, even diluted Fire of the Southern Wind can be dangerous. Fire can burn. Its colour is the yellow of the sun. West Wind: This wind blows cool & moist; it may carry a hint of rain or mist. It's a fertile, loving force that's gentle and persuasive. It rules twilight, when all is at a standstill. Sunset, like sunrise, is an excellent time to perform magick - more so if the correct wind is blowing. Water magick - love, healing, fertility & so on is great for the West Wind. Good for spells involving cleansing or purely religious rituals. Its colour is the blue of the sky just before all light fades from the sky. |
