Capricorn Season
The spectacle of snow geese as they fly overhead in large migrating groups with their beauty, noise and soaring freedom, is known to stir strong human emotions. Like their totem, snow geese people have minds that are able to soar and cover vast distances with the power of imagination.
Plant totem is Birch 
Mineral is Clear Quartz Color is the White of New Snow
Snow Goose people are known to have a stately presence like their plant totem, the birch tree, a cool demeanor like their mineral the crystal quartz, and an aspiration to the perfection and enlightenment inspired by the snow-white purity of their color.
Because they are members of the Turtle clan, governed by the earth element, they can also stay grounded when necessary and be very practical and useful in the material world.
A tale, written by Kurt, of a dear practical turtle who gives very grounding support to a nervous, flighty mourning dove.
