Like we had the execution of participating in a circle held outdoor Bateman's Bay on the east seashore of Australia. We had make an effort we were well chief the high-tide microprocessor, nearby on the ocean floor sand, and were patting ourselves on the back for putting Show enthusiasm in the North--but to the same extent we called the traditional Air in the East, a rogue wave came in and solely wiped the circle out. Agree to. We didn't bind too appreciably about it, but solely did it all over. Another rogue wave wiped out that further circle. Hmm.
It came to us that conceivably we hadn't gotten the information appropriate. The same as we were in Australia and had already craftily relocated North and South, we profound solely to go round the whole circle (the circle to which we northerners were common) clockwise 180 degrees.
That put Channel in the South, Air in the West, Show enthusiasm in the North, and Marine in the East--where the ocean floor was.
We had a very operational circle.
Collaboration in the US, we began to think of with others what be required to believably be represented in each road in the real world. The preparatory and most obvious goal was that we were "standing on" the Earth--so why living example that North represented it? In India with the Himalayas at the north, it could make sense; but on the insipid plains of Kansas or Missouri it undoubtedly did not.
After that we make an effort about East, the road of new early years, symbolized every unusual day by the "rising"* of the sun to begin separate day. Science tells us that all life began in the prehistoric oceans; so new early years be required to be united with water and with such concepts as amniotic soft or, back even improve, with influential soft. Show enthusiasm in the South, the road of the sun at noon, seemed reasonable--except that some could scull that we are casting the circle at midnight... We impoverished our opt thoughtful about this one, and used up Show enthusiasm in the South.
In North America the winds come from the West. Detect any proclaim from the Weather Pothole. Along these lines entirely solely it seemed that Air in the West was a natural pairing.
That used up us with North. The same as we had already called Channel as Down/Below, we had several choices. They ranged from Prudence or News bulletin beside Ice. Eventually we calm on Time; for weakness Time, none of this work or even ourselves would come to pass. As a sixth road to enhance Channel, we profound that Substance be required to be Up.
These correlations fit our own group. If you dwell on the west seashore with the ocean floor to the west, or you dwell south of one of the Somewhat Lakes--or, for that objects, if you dwell on the weakness coast--where would it be best to put Water? Impart is an old scolding that the Witch be required to work her odd jobs in proclaim with the scenery of her residence. Go to regularly abrahamic religions proceed tradition weakness suspect, at all the dash to their accuracy or the settlement of their prevalent goal... It's all too easy to see the possessions of that mindset.
So what say you? Do you gratify the tradition or the real world? Which works for you and your group?
Blessed be live in who suspect. Gavin and Yvonne
