A Circle of Stones: Journeys and Meditations for Modern Celts - Erynn Rowan Laurie 1995

The South Wind

The south wind is the soft, warm wind of summer. It brings warmth and growth, softening the land and giving ease to the heart. On the south wind is the scent of blooming flowers and the ripening odor of fruit on the trees.

Gaoth an iar iasg is aran;

Gaoth a tuath fuachd is feannadh;

Gaoth an ear sneachd air beannaibh;

Gaoth a deas meas air crannaibh.

Wind from the west, fish and bread;

Wind from the north, cold and flaying;

Wind from the east, snow on the hills;

Wind from the south, fruit on trees.

goo an ear ee-usk is A-ran;

goo a TOO-ath FOO-ahk is FAN-na

goo an err shnawk air BAN-iv

Moving Meditations on the South Wind

Savor summer berries

Put sweet scented flowers on your altar

Burn a summery incense

Meditate in a southerly wind

Eat spicy foods

Read about Celtic Gods and Goddesses with solar attributes

Take a hot, scented bubble bath

Affirmation for the South Wind

Today I appreciate the fruitfulness of my life, giving myself the warmth of love.
