Frog Clan
In native American lore, those born in the early summer season are heart-centered, like their stone the carnelian agate, love their families and homes like their animal totem, the flicker, and bring calming healing qualities to their relationships like their plant, the wild rose. When nurtured from an early age and raised in a loving harmonious environment, flicker natives grow in their ability to extend their love of family to the broader human community. They find great satisfaction and fulfillment in discovering a group that they deem a worthy target of their love and devotion and allows them to serve something greater than themselves; be it a charitable organization, a fraternal society or a religious community that can nurture their innate mystical nature.
