I was answering about the Northern/Southern hemisphere logic of this… and realised that it depends if the sundial is vertical in a wall (facing South in the Northern hemisphere) or horizontal (facing the zenith/sky)… today you can easily find those wall sundials in many monumental buildings (at least these seem to me more common than the others) and the shadow is casted counterclockwise in the Northern hemisphere, so not sure if the clockwise sense was locked by sundials… also in the Southern hemisphere logic flips completely.
At least some North American indigenous peoples say something akin to “with the sun”. And I think in yoga terminology they have a similar phrasing, or am I mistaken?
100% This.
Also, being an evolution of sundials is the reason all analog clocks move their hands in the same direction.

In the southern hemisphere they think Australia is suitable for human life.
*Being evolution of sundials located on the northern hemisphere.
So you’re saying clockwise can also be called sundialwise?
