Le vent des amoureux

Trasfoco: The wind

What if the wind were not in fact a meteorological phenomenon? What if it were not just air in movement generated by differences in pressure and temperature? What if the wind were really a god, or better still, many gods? If this were the case, that would mean that there would be terrible gods whose anger and rage are able to sweep all before them… houses, trees and crops. But there would also be kindly gods, like those pleasant winds able to cool temperatures and bring humidity in times of drought. And, of course, there would also be generous gods or winds, that transport seeds from one place to another and accompany birds on their long migrations, helping them along their way. In Iran, some people believe that these gods exist.
