The Old school method seems to be Apradhakshinam (coutner-clockwise), while naveena veethi is Pradhakshinam (clockwise). The same applies to wearing of the Yagnopaveetham - the pracheena veethi is done now only for pitru karyam.

while performing Masikam and abdikam for my mother in 2003, I was also intrigued by the preist often asking me to do prachivithi while offering ablutions.

The easy way I could rationalize was that 'What is right to you is left to me'

That is when ever you are doing ablutions to vasu rupa or pretha, you offer as a mortal, and at all other times you are doing karma kanda as a devine person or embodiment of Vishnu, ( similar process in Rudram when you invoke all the ganas to reside in various organs of the body, Nasika yor vayu thishtathu, Prajaneme Bhram thishtahu etc), therefore when you are vishnu roopa you are svayam ( the thread) and when you are otherwise apa savyam...
