She has since passed away. I have her story at www.fixall.org/asem36sd.htm I spoke to a member of the Potawatomi, "People of the three fires" who explained that the four directions can mean whatever one wants them to mean. tom mandel I learned a little about the four winds from Sage Dream.

I come to this from the Mankind Project, a mens organization that uses an invocation of directions to set intention and sacred space. For anglo's (like myself) that do not already have a personal connection to the directions, we borrow from others. The directions I use have value because of the significance I have been able to make within myself to these directions. There are seven I use, borrowed from some native american traditions. East is the place of beginnings, a archetype of the lover, the place of the rising sun, an element associated with the east is water. South is the place of action, the archetype of the warrior, the place where the sun is at midday, at it's most hot, the element is fire. West is the place of closing of the day, the beginnig of night and darkenss, the archetype is the magician, the element is earth and it is the place of going within, shapeshifiting and magic. North is the place of endings, preparing for death, and the subsequent rebirth, the archetype is the elder, king or queen, the element is air. The fifth direction is above and is the place of father sky and the connection to male energies. The sixth direction is below, the place of mother earth, the connection to female energies. The seventh direction is the place within each of us, that place of darkeness, silence and wonder. The use of directions is to invoke something special from the rest of the day, a way to leave behind the trevails of the day, a way to make space for something special and magical. It accepts that there are energies larger than the individual and connects us to them. It creates a sacredness in the connections that are made in the times between the invocation and the closing blessing.
