So I just watched Olivia's video from Sunday on petitions and I had a few questions.
Mainly, where are petitions from? What traditions do they come from and how have they been used in the past or in that tradition if anyone knows.
Why the clockwise counterclockwise associations? Away from you and toward you makes immediate sense to me, but not so much the associations of the turning.
And why three times? Is it a numerology thing. I do know that in writing, especially in the western world three has some meaning.
Bonus, not a question, I did like the idea of writing on toilet paper to banish someone.
I can't answer all these questions, but the clockwise motion relates to moving toward you/moving forward. Counterclockwise relates to moving away, or moving back. Circles to me represent motion and energy, but that's just me. The number 3 has MANY meanings, but it can represent spirituality and guidance.
