car-tuathal

-ail, sm Wrong turn. 2 Turn to the left or contrary to the sun's course.3 Ill-chance, mishap. 4 Unprosperous course. This term is said by some to have had its origin in Druidical superstition. On certain occasions they moved three times round their stony circles or temples. In performing this ceremony they kept the circle on the right (car-deise) and consequently moved from E. to W., this was called the prosperous course. The car-tuathal or moving with the circle on the left, was deemed fatal or unprosperous, being contrary to the course of the sun. Car-tuathal t' aimhleis ort! the left-about unlucky turn to you!
