Jean Wright-Popescul

I really enjoyed this book--so much that I keep it in my main bookcase for reference. The author has researched the winds of the Gaelic world as known from ancient times and included very specific references, which she diligently sources in her book. It is, by far, the first book of its kind on wind cosmology to be published. It does bother me that a few other writers since have gleaned important information from Ms. Wright-Popescul's book they have used her work without reference.
It is very interesting that a new CD has been released featuring the artist's interpretation of the winds. Clearly there was some collaboration. Additionally, another group has created a dance based on "The Twelve Winds of the Ancient Gaelic World" which I have seen.

On another level, it has taken me several weeks to learn how to see the coloured winds. It became easier during a trip to PEI when I asked local fishermen if they ever saw coloured winds while out at sea. They laughed heartily and said, "We see many things, but just before dawn we do look to the sky to see the colour of the wind for the day." The prevailing winds in hte Maritimes is Blue or southwest. When I showed them this book I ended up hearing many wonderful tales for the rest of the day. They loved the book! Highly recommended for those who are serious about cosmology and lore… (plus d'informations)
