Gifting

Gifting in the seven directions is a traditional practice that honors the four cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west) as well as the three spiritual directions (up, down, and within). It is believed to bring balance and harmony to the giver and receiver. Gifts can be anything from physical items such as food or jewelry to intangible gifts such as words of encouragement or prayer. The act of gifting in the seven directions is also said to bring good luck and protection for both parties involved. This practice has been used for centuries by many cultures around the world as a way of expressing gratitude, love, respect, and appreciation.
