I don't claim to have had a tough life - I have a family who loves me, a roof over my head and food in my stomach, but I have had to deal with many Tower-like situations before. And from each of those ordeals, I've blossomed and grown. People have likened me to the Phoenix, but I am drawn not to the power and majesty of that wonderful creature, but to the simple strength and determination of the Winter Rose. This little plant blooms each year in the depths of winter, opening its delicate petals regardless of frost and snow. I have proven many times that I have the same simple determination and inner strength to keep opening my petals after they've been bitten by frost and rebuild myself after a Tower-like event has taken place.
Moon-Hawk comes from the planet that rules my very being, and the creature that symobolises me. In Tarot, the Moon is about psychic awareness and visions. In Astrology, the moon symbolises the inner being that very few people get to see or experience - the ultimate private self. It also represents psychic awareness and the instinctual self. In essence, this name relates to my very inner being - my 'True Name' if you will. Like the Winter Rose, the Hawk represents strength, as well as truth and intuition. Interestingly, the Hawk is actually a solar animal, which balances out the lunar aspects to this name.
Both these names came through meditation and discussion with my guides and totem animals.
