Now the two were anticipating the naming of their children. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was the naming day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis was a day of celebration by the entire clan. It was the custom to wait two seasons before naming a child. The belief was that if the child did not survive then it would go into the next life free of any burden of this world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring this time, the child was under observation. Mannerisms were noted and would be added to the name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach child chose their name by the object they chose from the naming hide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir two boys had been born on the same day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey would each select an object from the edge of the naming hide that would determine their name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo far neither one of their sons had demonstrated any behavior that would add an extra identifier to their name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA large white swan had arrived early in the morning. White Swan looked across the lake where it swam gracefully in a gracious and relax manner. This was her totem and she took it as a sign that something special would happen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhite Swan was aware of an eagle that circled silently overhead during the entire naming ceremony.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuiet Pheasant's son selected the feather of a Golden Hawk. This was a powerful symbol and would mean that he would have the name Golden Hawk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhite Swan's son was the last child to select his name symbol. He was the youngest of all the children selecting names.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhite Swan watched as he went immediately and picked up the claw of an eagle. He turned and held his selection high above his head. The eagle let out a loud cry and descended like a spear on its way to the heart. The target continued to hold the claw above his head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn panic White Swan rushed to protect her son, but the eagle got to its target first and carried off its prize.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith tears in her eyes White Swan hugged her untouched son. He was all smiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer totem and the totem of her son, the eagle flew gracefully out of the valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer son had chosen the eagle and the eagle had chosen her son.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhite swan held up her son and declared his name as Taelo, the claw of the eagle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe and his cousin Golden Hawk would have many adventures as they grew.  They would be change agents for the Elk clan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781682234099\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9781682234099","offer_id":57286532333893,"sku":"9781682234099","price":8.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/c3f42c6f-8b03-4d9d-a792-ce6678a9ed7c.jpg?v=1772514772","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/the-childs-name-von-ron-mueller","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
