Sunwise
Sunwise, sunward or deasil (sometimes spelled deosil), are terms meaning to go clockwise or in the direction of the sun, as seen from the northern hemisphere. The opposite term is widdershins (Lowland Scots), or tuathal (Scottish Gaelic).. In Scottish culture, this turning direction is also considered auspicious, while the converse is true for counter-clockwise motion.
