Please Do Not Copy.The Rest and Cleansing Moon is the second Moon of Waboose. The stone for this Moon is placed midway between the Northern and Eastern stones. Silver is the mineral totem for the Rest and Cleansing Moon, the Quaking Aspen is the plant totem, the Otter is the animal totem, and silver is the color. This position is influenced by the Butterfly Clan.
People experiencing this Moon are considered as valuable as Silver, as lighthearted as the music of Aspen leaves, and as playful as the Otter. The Otter position can help you truly to like people, yourself included, and to be more humanitarian in your views. This is a time when you can excel in communication, in developing your intellect, and in romance. The Rest and Cleansing Moon can help you both to develop your psychic abilities and to uncover the clever, bold, humanitarian, and gentle aspects of your own being. Although Otter people have the potential to be noble and loving, they need to guard against dreaming so much that none of their noble ideas ever become reality.Text by Sun Bear and Wabun Wind, Dancing With The Wheel

I see you now,
I see you Otter.
I see you Circle
In Spirit Water.
Bubbles of joy
Your soul sets free.
Teach your lesson
Of spirit to me.
Swimming in Spirit;
Peaceful your soul,
At one with all,
Complete and whole.© July 1994 by Faye Clark Haynes - Rainbow in the West

Quaking Aspen
Aspen are related trees, especially the type called Quaking Aspens. Several species of Aspen have leaves attached by flattened leafstalks so that they flutter readily in the wind. A breeze sets all leaves of one of these trees into motion. The most familiar species are the American Aspen, found in North America and the large-toothed aspen, found in eastern Canada and the United States.
See Aspen in "Flora, fauna, earth, and sky... The natural history of the northwoods" for another photo, plus information. For another good description of Edible Uses, Medicinal Uses (including uses by North American Indian nations), propagation and cultivation details, see Populus tremuloides , which is the official name for American Aspen or Quaking Aspen. Scroll down past the tables for edible, medicinal, etc., information. This page is in Plants For A Future Database.
