Wind

[JanCarolSeidr]

Wind – from Old English; akin to Old High German wint wind, Latin ventus, Greek aēnai to blow, Sanskrit vāti it blows, Old English windan to twist, move with speed or force, brandish; akin to Old High German wintan to wind, Umbrian ohavendu let him turn aside. Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary – Wind

In Chinese medicine, “The 100 diseases start with wind,” and in Ayurvedic medicine, you want to calm vata, which comes in the Autumn, when many of us struggle with the common cold.

Wind is thought, it’s also the force which carries wings up into the sky. A loud wind – whistling – is being filled with Spirit. Sound is the first emanation of creation “And God Spoke,” combined with “the Breath of God,” and to feel the Holy Spirit was “a mighty rushing wind.” 

I saw brief references to a call from someone in distress, being perceived as a whistling wind, but could not trace it to a tradition or anything specific.

It matters whether the wind was behind you (helping you) or hitting you in the face (against you) and from a psychological perspective, the “wind at your back” means that your thoughts are in concordance with your choices. Buffeting your face might mean that your thoughts are not helping your actions and choices. A wind from left to right might mean listen to your intuition, while a wind from right to left might encourage you to look at the situation more rationally.
