Eager Beaver

  • Description: The beaver represents the builder of dreams. Beavers are the largest of the rodent family and is adapted for life in the water with its webbed feet and a tail that serves as a rudder. Excellent swimmers equipped with extra large lungs, beavers can stay submerged for up to 15 minutes. As water has long time associations with emotions, the psyche and dreams, the beaver, as a water creature, is strongly connected with those aspects. A common dream concerns family and home, and this is reflected in the beaver as they live in close-knit families, often mating as long as the other is alive, and they are also master home builders. Their homes can have intricate canals an keep them in constant repair. The aspect of the builder is linked to mystical Masonic traditions as well. If beaver has swam into your game, it may be a perfect opportunity to build upon your dreams. The beaver is always busy chewing because its two large incisor teeth never stop growing! If a beaver stops chewing, its teeth will become to large to eat with. Bark of the poplar and aspen trees is the favorite meal of the beaver. The felling of trees to create dams is done through teamwork, one rests and keeps watch, while the other chews. Often beavers store the trees they fell in their dams to provide food throughout the winter. Beavers are actually an intricate part of a forest ecosystem. By felling trees they provide natural succession within the forest to take place as light gaps enable the underbrush to grow, and thus giving more food for deer and other animals. The dams beavers create also eventually lead to farmland for humans. As beaver ponds fill up with silt, the beavers eventually leave the dam and it will eventually break, draining the water from the pond and leaving a flat area of rich soil. When the beaver enters your game, ask what is the dam that you are building? Have you been neglecting some of your dreams? Are your dreams in need of repair work? Are you or others around you getting lost in your dreams and never acting upon them? Is your home in need of repair? The eager beaver reminds us that we must act on our dreams to make them reality.

i want to help shepherd humanity into a better future.
some things about humanity need to be stopped and/or regulated. this can be beneficial, or detrimental from different points of view.

did you know that beavers are actually very family centered? they have an entire clan living under that damn, and also, the way i look at this card is that, well, if you look at time like a river, beavers are drastically changing the course of the river, and thusly, it stands, for me, as someone who is drastically changing the future. :)
your future is a blank slate, yet to be written. make it a good one! :d

makes sense. to be honest, i've viewed time as a river, like you said, and i've thought it possible to navigate and avoid the bad parts and sail through the good if you were able to see ahead of where you are.
there are a lot of things yet to be seen, heard, felt, thought and experienced. we are blank books, waiting to have our experiences written into us.
