DIRECTIONS:

we wave the Lamb Korban - in all (6)directions
___________
North 'tzaphon’ and 'to the left’,
South 'negev’ 'yamina' means 'dryness' and 'to the right’,
West yama’ (Malkut) means 'to the sea’ and
East means (Tifereth) or the sun rise.
Someone submitted a correction:
Left/north is the side of Gevurah and
right/south is the side of Chessed
ALSO:
In the Sh’lah al Sefer Vayik’ra by Yeshayahu ben Avraham we are told that
'Micha’el is the base source of Spirit Water,
Gavri’el of Spirit Fire,
Auri’el of Spirit Air,
Rafa’el of Spirit Earth.’
These attributions are based on teachings found in Kabbalistic literature in which the archangel Michael is attributed to the Sefirah Chesed (Mercy),
Gavriel to Gevurah (Severity),
Uriel to Tiferet (Beauty), and
Rafael to Yesod (Foundation).
In this case, Chesed, attributed to 'Spirit Water,' is the domain of Michael,
while Gevurah, the domain of 'Spirit Fire,' belongs to Gavriel.
In turn, the sphere of Tiferet, being the balancing central Sefirah between Chesed and Gevurah, is attributed the 'Spirit Air' and
Uriel, this being aligned with the statement in the Sefer Yetzirah about 'Air tipping the scale' between 'Fire' and 'Water.’
Finally, in this instance, Yesod is attributed to Rafael and 'Spirit Earth.’
