Mythology Summary

Aeolus is the keeper of the winds, who hosts Odysseus and gives him a bag of contrary winds tied shut. His crew opens it, the ship is blown back, and the lesson is about patience: the wind was already lent, and it was impatience that lost it.

Modern Practice

Aeolus is called on by sailors, travellers and anyone who needs the weather to turn. His practice is hospitality and patience, in that order.
