Deosil & Widdershins?

User Rating: / 14 vote       PoorBest 

Here's a quick note: In the Northern Hemisphere, Quarters are generally called beginning in the North or East and moving clockwise (deosil). For example, North, East, South, then West. Most of the books available about Wicca and Witchcraft use these correspondences.

In the Southern Hemisphere however, these correspondences may vary. Circles are still cast deosil, but to those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, they would seem to be widdershins. (counter-clockwise). The equator is to the North in the Souther Hemisphere, so North is sometimes representative of fire. There are more sites on the links page for Pagans in the Southern Hemisphere.

Trivia, Quotes & Jokes

Welcome to the new Trivia feature on PaganPath. Our first bit of trivia to start out right is about Trivia! Trivia in Roman mythology was the equivalent of the Greek goddess Hecate, the goddess of witchcraft, the three-way crossroads, and the harvest moon.
