current of fate.

shúthíka, n. Wind current; jetstream; predictable twist of fate. Wind is normally seen as a very passionate and uncontrollable piece of rhetorical imagery, so the notion of a consistent wind current took some time for poets to digest. Metaphorically, the image of a shúthíka is often used to describe the dangers that await those who partake of risky behaviour or, more rarely, good fortune that can be provoked by the same. Common examples include dangerous professions and unscrupulous friends. Oppose vendika.
