People born between April 20 and May 20, during the Frogs Return moon, have the beaver as their totem in the animal kingdom, the blue camas in the plant kingdom, and the chrysocolla in the mineral kingdom. Their colour is blue and they are of the Turtle elemental clan.
Their stone, the chrysocolla, is very similar to the turquoise. It is green to blue, glossy, and at the same time has an earthy look to it. It has the property of sticking to the tongue which is a good way to identify it. Most beaver people are very rooted to the earth and sometimes forget to look skyward. This stone can help. It brings good luck and good medicine to the wearer. Like the stone, the beaver people appear lucky, but the luck usually comes from hard work. They also have strong bodies and can enjoy good health, especially if they wear their stone, and as long as they curb their tendency to overindulge. They are very stable people. When, and if they change environments they do so in a very systematic way. This unchanging part of their nature, which reflects a quality of their mineral, makes these folks very good friends to have. Once they decide that they are your friend, they will not easily change their minds.
Like their beautiful and healing plant, the blue camas, these folks can be conscious of beauty and practically at the same time. Beaver people have the ability to sustain those with whom they are associated. Because their own roots go deeply into the earth, they are able to give a firm footing to people or projects with which they are involved.
The blue colour signifies physical tranquility and psychological contentment stemming from a feeling of peace and happiness. Beaver people must be happily grounded on the earth plane before they can discover the spiritual aspirations that are also with them.
People of this animal totem, like the beaver, are capable of drastically altering their environment in order to provide for their own peace, security, and contentment. They will make changes in a slow, deliberate way, with resourcefulness. They have some attraction to water: to swimming or sailing, or just walking around lakes, rivers, or ponds. They are clever and nimble. Quick to learn anything necessary or beneficial for them to know. They are patient and persevering. They will spend a lot of time and creativity on designing. They have minds capable of wonderful feats of engineering. Given some time, beaver people can redesign most jobs or work projects to run better, smoother and more harmoniously . These people don't talk much. They take relationships very seriously. They mate for life.
As other people from other totems travel through this place on the wheel, they can learn how to set their own houses in order, so that, whatever they seek, they can seek it form a place of tranquility and contentment. They can also learn the value of stability, of patience and perseverance and they can learn better how to root themselves in the Earth Mother, who sustains us all.
