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

The North Wind

This is the wind from the North of the world. The north wind is the bringer of magic, the essence of newness. It is the lazy wind, which moves through, rather than going around whatever is in its way.

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

goo a jahss mass air CRAN-iv

Moving Meditations on the North Wind

Meditate on newness

Look at the world with the eyes of a child

Seek out that which is hidden

Walk in the wind as it blows from the north

Find the meaning and the source of power in your life

Perform a magical act

Confront the different forms of laziness in your life

Cut through confusion to the heart of something

Affirmation for the North Wind

Today I will allow the magic in life to manifest through me.
