To move with the sun was considered lucky, to move in the reverse direction unlucky; the latter method is consequently taken by witches in their ceremonies. So Spenser, 'She turned her contrary to the sunne . . . for she the right did shunne.' Cf. Icel. sólar-sinnis with the sun:--Þeir höfðu gengit sólarsinniss um goðahús, Droplaugarsona Saga 11, 4. At sólu prosperously; and-sælis against the course of the sun; mostly used of witches or uncanny appearances:--Sá sauðamaðr Gró at hon gékk út, ok gékk andsælis um hus sín ok mælti erfitt mun verða at standa í mot giptu Ingimundarsona, Vatnsdæla Saga 59, 4.
