The beaver, builder of the Native American wheel
The beaver is the second spirit totem of the wheel. It matches the middle of spring, when nature grows and builds itself, and the sign of Taurus, with which it shares many traits. A fast and tireless worker, it is a talented builder.
Native Americans admired its organization and its clan spirit: by felling trees to raise its dams, it transforms an entire landscape. It therefore symbolizes transformation, and reminds us that a builder is also capable of great destruction to see its projects through.
👉 The largest known beaver dam, spotted in Canada on satellite images, is about 850 meters (2,790 feet) long.
