I learned this term from Terry Pratchett a few years ago as the disc in discworld rotates and the four cardinal directions are rimward, hubward, turnwise and widdershins. Instead of north south east west.

From here: https://www.goeuropean.org/, haven't actually used either myself but maybe you can report back some time if you go ahead with one or both?
