It was and is believed to be a universal life force, unseen, yet felt, ushering in change, whether that be via calm or chaos. It can howl or whisper, it can be warm or cold, it can push or gently touch the body or objects as large as ships and buildings. It teaches us to bend and sway with it, rather than break against it.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsidered to be a manifestation of the earth’s breath, it is also therefore associated with inspiration, which as etymological roots in breath; of the belief that a divine entity is breathing inspiration and influence into you.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe four cardinal wind Gods:\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZephyr, the gentle West wind and messenger of Spring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEurus, the East Wind, associated with turbulent winds that effect ships in Mythology\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoreas, the North Wind, Cold Wind\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotos\/Notus, The South Wind, that brings the storms during the end of summer into Autumn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese Greek Gods were personified as horses or as older bearded men, interestingly, their female mates were the Harpyiai, ( harpies ) and were considered “swift robbers” or sudden, sharp gusts of wind.

If this irritant can’t be expelled, it begins to ‘bandage’ the grain, coating it with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003econcentric rings of calcium carbonate, named ‘nacre.’ Each layer that is built up forms the shape of t\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehe pearl, awash in a brilliant iridescence, a beauty born of a tiny trespass.

An embedded star smoldering within \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe shell of our hearts. An ink dot, a pin prick, a moon in miniature. History, who has always loved \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand revered the pearl, writes that we once believed pearls were the result of lightning striking the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eshell and penetrating the inner skins of the oyster.
