South is the place of faith, purification, awakening inner child, overcoming obstacles, change, playfulness, protection, trust, resurrection, strength, and self sufficiency. West We are born in the East, grow in the South, and it is in the West where we come to the Autumn of our lives. Thus we can see how the directions relate to the different seasons. The West is the culmination of our goals. The West is associated with death but not in the way most western societies think of it.
Death is actually a vital tool in the cycle of life.
Death illuminates a pivotal point, a point from which the culmination of all knowledge can be drawn. West is the place of vision, dreams, quests and journeys, emotions, imagination, creative arts, the feminine, higher compassion, inner spiritual renewal, and goals. North North is the place of the hereafter death. North is winter where everything lies still and dormant, where all life and knowledge exist in a state of suspended animation awaiting the hand of Great Spirit to push forward to a new beginning. North is the place of knowledge, teaching, balance, abundance, sacred wisdom, thankfulness, drawing forth inner treasures, empathic intuition, trust, and alchemy.
