Noon burn gold into our hair
At night, we swim the laughin' sea
When summer’s gone, where will we be?”

Personality: Clover is a dreamy, fun-loving flower child, the daughter of a pair of hippies, and most at home surrounded by nature and life. She has a ‘live and let live’ philosophy and deep rooted earth spirituality. Kind and cheerful, Clover is very trusting and tends to get talked into activist causes and movements. She stands up for her values, when necessary, and for those who cannot stand up for themselves. Clover follows her intuition and gut instincts.
Hobbies: Making clothing and accessories, reading tarot cards and runes, painting, gardening, dancing and singing, learning new things and pick up new hobbies.
Talents: Clover is a skilled divining psychic, having learned several divinatory methods at her mother’s knee. She has learned to sense an aura that accompanies an oncoming vision. She learned a mish-mash of skills from the other adults in the commune but she can’t decide which one she likes best so she does them all as a freelance. She can play several simple instruments from her childhood as some of her earliest memories are coven circles at the commune, which involved lots of music, chanting, and dancing.
Weaknesses: She doesn’t always grasp the reality of situations and is far too trusting for her own good. Clover is the type that would pick up a hitchhiker or let a bum crash in her living room. Sometimes she follows her intuition to the exclusion of logic. Although Clover has trained since childhood to tap into her abilities, visions will sometimes catch her unawares and she’ll drift into a semi-lucid state in the middle of what she’s doing.
History: Summerwind and Fyrehawke met at Woodstock in 1969 at the tender age of sixteen. They fell under love’s mad spell and ran off together. They lived on the road with a small group of like-minded individuals and traveled from place to place loving, living, and protesting. Enamored of the new spiritualities and philosophies that were emerging, Summerwind and Fyrehawke transformed their commune into a coven. They called themselves Witches and embraced a myriad of ritual and esoteric practices. Fyrehawke often lead the drumming circles while Summerwind lead the dancing and women’s rituals.
Nine months after a particularly powerful Bealtaine, Summerwind gave birth to twins. They were dedicated to the Lady and Lord as Clover Lotus Blossom and Shamrock Thunder. Clover and Shamrock, along with their younger siblings, were raised in the commune/coven, and took part in circles as appropriate. It was discovered, in the course of their childhood and coven studies, that Clover had a particular talent towards precognition. When she began to complain about weird dreams and waking visions, Summerwind taught her daughter Tarot, rune casting, scrying…all the divination practices she knew. Eventually, Clover learned to cope with her gifts by slipping into a dreamy, non-lucid state until the images pass.
All things must end eventually and the coven dissolved. Her parents stayed with the commune’s land, but Clover had the urge to move on to a new place. Her intuition steered Clover to Chicago, which seemed like a nice enough place, where she had made a living selling the various items she makes. If that fails, she will divine for money thought she would prefer not to use her gifts that way.
