Let the wind blow magic your way...

The power of the wind is mighty and can be used for all sorts of spell work because not only is the wind refreshing, cleansing, purifying and full of the energy to aid with clearing out all kinds of unwanted baggage it can also be used differently depending on what direction the wind is coming from.

Invoking the winds for magical purpose is an ancient art and there are plenty of deities associated with the winds. 

One of the main uses of wind in magic is to bring about change especially when utilising the energy from an East wind if your purpose is for new beginnings.  The East wind brings renewal and can be used for any kind of spell work that involves the intellect such as intuition and psychic abilities but also for beginnings, improvements or transformation.

A wind from the South is hot and fiery bringing with it the power to work curses, hexes or any negative magic but also purification, love, lust, vitality and passion.  South winds are also good for working banishing magic whether it is for toxic people, jealousy or selfish actions.

West winds swing in with fertility and love and to help with healing, cleansing, strength, emotions, happiness, sleep and dream work.

The power of the North wind is one of sudden and unexpected changes that may require a bit of attention and work to deal with.  However the North wind also helps dispel bad habits, material gain, money, prosperity and organisational skills.
