| Earth Renewal Moon Snow Goose December 22 to January 19 People born under the Earth Renewal Moon, the first moon of the year, have the snow goose as their totem in the animal kingdom, the birch tree as their totem in the plant kingdom and the quartz as their totem in the mineral kingdom. Their color is white, and they are of the Turtle elemental clan. They are born between December 22 and January 19. To understand those of the Snow Goose, let us look at their totems in the other realms of creation on the earth.  Quartz, their mineral totem, is one of the most common and widespread elements on the earth.  Quartz, which is composed of silicon dioxide, is a fairly hard mineral, with a vitreous luster. It can come in almost any color, but white or clear quartz is most common. This is the color of quartz associated with Snow Goose people in olden times people believed that quartz was permanently frozen ice because of the cool feel it has. This theory was given more credence because you can sometimes find quartz that has a drop of water frozen within it, which was captured inside the mineral as it forment, and can never evaporate unless the mineral is broken. Crystal is the Greek word for ice. Because of its resembalance to ice, quartz was thought to ward off thirst Even in this century Boy Scout manuals told young men to suck on quartz if they were thirsty.  Quartz is a power stone. We use it today in radio, radar, television, ultrasonics, and other fields as a transmitting force. It is said that, in crystal form, quartz had other powers to transmit, or aid in transmitting, powers that we don't have much knowledge of today.  Often the scepters that kings and nobles carried had quartz crystals at their heads.  So did the magic wands used by magicians. Some people claim that the destruction of Atlantis came about because of the misuse of quartz crystals, which, prior to that time, had been used to provide most of the energy used by the Atlanteans. Crystal balls, used by seers to determine the future, were made of quartz. Crystal bowls, used to see the future by gazing into water and to bring about rain, are another example of the magical use of this mineral.  Tribes in Australia used quartz in their rain-making ceremonies. Tribes in the United States used quartz for man of the same puirposes that ancients in all parts of the world did. From the crystal, people of the Snow Goose can learn of their own powers to see things clearly and to let the energies of the universe flow through them. If Snow Goose people can keep themselves clear and fluid, they can act as receivers and tansmitters for the great powers of the universe, the same as their mineral totem does. Snow Goose people have the cool exterior of quartz, which makes them appear reserved and unaffectionate to those around them. However, like their mineral, they will warm up, after a time, if those close to them pour their own warmth and energy into them. People of the Snow Goose will never melt to the point where they will become gushy or overly sentimental, but they can learn to reflect a steady warmth and light to those around them. The power of these people, like the power of the quartz, comes from their ability to accurately receive and transmit. Because this power can be a great one, it carries with it the potential seed of its own destruction, and, improperly used, this power can seriously hurt Snow Goose people, and many of those around them, much as the crystals are alleged to have destroyed Atlantis. From the quartz Snow Goose people can learn of their powers and of the caution they must use in exercising it. They can learn that they must not become too hard in their views or philosophies or, like quartz, they will crack into irregular pieces. By holding and being with quartz crystals, they can learn secrets that will come to them in no other way.  |
