'''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]]'' ([[Middle Low German]]), or ''tuathal'' ([[Scottish Gaelic]]).<ref>[http://www.faclair.com/ViewDictionaryEntry.aspx?ID=566443DF1F91B2DCEDEB41AF72028584 Scottish-English translation of tuathal]</ref> In [[Scottish culture]], this turning direction is also considered auspicious, while the converse is true for counter-clockwise motion.
