The South is the place of healing of our hearts, healing of our bodies, healing of our relationships. This includes not only our relationships with other people, but also the relationship that we have with ourselves. I believe that sometimes we have a tendency to forget about the relationship we have with ourselves. Every position in the Wheel has a time of day, time of year, and time of life. As I mentioned, the summer is the time of year of the South.
High noon is the time of day and adolescence is the time of life.
The South is the place where the sun is the hottest. The element of the South is fire and the Archangel is Raphael. Snake and Coyote are the animals of the South. The Snake has the medicine of Transformation and Transmutation, as does the element of fire. Coyote who is the trickster teaches us to laugh at our selves and to laugh at our mistakes.
