Randall Webmaster Posts: 8029 From: The Goober Galaxy Registered: Apr 2009	posted April 18, 2011 01:23 PM Does anyone know what the Turtle symbolizes? I need to dig deep on this one. Clearly, I am being told to slow down and take it easy (at the Tutle's pace). "Slow and steady wins the race." But time has slowed down soooooo much for me. Weeks ago, time was super fast for me, as it is for many. This can be no accident. What is the Turtle trying to tell me? ------------------ "All deaths are suicides, do you realize that? Every single one. The only distinction is that, with some people, suicide is a subconscious choice, and with others it's a conscious choice. Otherwise, those who commit suicide and those who succumb to accident, illness or "old age," die for exactly the same reason: belief in the inevitability of death." Linda Goodman IP: Logged

pire Knowflake Posts: 1802 From: Registered: Apr 2009	posted April 18, 2011 04:24 PM I'd interpret that as: slow down, enjoy the ride it is not very common in my part of the wolrd so I'd say: need to appreciate this rare opportunity... IP: Logged

teasel Knowflake Posts: 2957 From: Registered: Apr 2009	posted April 18, 2011 07:21 PM Our turtle can move pretty fast when she wants to. She hisses and ducks her head in, if surprised (but will pop it back out again, when she realizes that she isn't in danger). Walks all over our feet - if you're in her way, then she expects you to move. She's curious, loves to be talked to, loves to snuggle into warm quilts, cats or people, if she finds you on the floor. (When she isn't trying to move through you.) She's determined, self-protective. She loves the sun, and lamps - she'll move into the shade when she gets too warm. IP: Logged
Lonake Moderator Posts: 4086 From: U.S. Registered: Apr 2009	posted April 18, 2011 07:29 PM quote: Turtle: Self contained, creative source. Turtle represents Mother Earth. Informed decisions, planning and adaptability are attributes of Turtle. here quote: TURTLE - the negative aspect is a fear of facing responsibility or reality. Can represent long life because turtles live a long time. Quiet strength,. In China it carries the world on it's back. It is a symbol of fertility and unwavering vitality, and great patience. here quote: Turtle Meanings and Totem/Animal Symbolism of the Turtle Those with the turtle as their animal totem can relate to the "sure and steady" message this creature brings to our lives. It is also a powerful totem for protection as withdrawing into it's shell is an amazing self-defense mechanism. The turtle has few predators, which gives it an innocent energy. This also increases its lifespan, and so holds the symbolic meaning for longevity in many cultures. Animal symbolism of the turtle includes: Order Creation Patience Strength Stability Longevity Innocence Endurance Protection Because of its seemingly wide-eyed, long-lived, carefree attitude the turtle is often thought to be the wisest of souls among the animal kingdom. We would all do well to take this as a lesson and move at our own pace as the turtle does. Furthermore, the turtle takes its wisdom one day at a time - not reacting, simply accepting and moving on in its natural methods. Again, this is a powerful analogy for humankind, and we would benefit from adopting the same behavior pattern. Tutles share an association with water, which lends meanings of motion, intuition and emotion to the myriad of more symbolic meanings of the turtle. Other associations for the turtle include: Water Winter Humidity Venus (Roman) Aphrodite (Greek) Northern directions Lunar (moon aspect) Femininity (except in African lore where it is considered a male symbol) In China and Japan the turtle is a symbol for longevity. In Asian myth the turtle represents cosmic order: Its shell is symbolic of the heavens Its body symbolic of the earth Its undershell represents the underworld. Furthermore, it is considered to have brought about the creation of the universe from its parts. What's more, the turtle is a symbol of motherhood and creation.

Chahldean Moderator Posts: 124 From: Everywhere I've Been Registered: Jun 2009	posted April 18, 2011 08:24 PM Halo Randall Alas, you have certainly encountered a Totem of Sorts, as Lonake has thoroughly described above. In American Indian Legend it represents the Clan of the Earth... The Earth Clan envelopes the three Earth signs in Western Astrology.... Capricorn or the Snow Goose Moon, Taurus or the Beaver Moon and the Harvest Moon of Virgo. All qualities that pertain to Earth Signs apply here....as You already may know. The lesson to be learned though from an omen as this is this.... Being a part of the Earth or Turtle Clan and with it's nature being solid and stable practical and grounded, persevering and steady... People who enter this position often have the tendency to want to remain in this position, even when it is time to leave it and change... and GROW! If one becomes too rooted in the Earth position they can become cool, and maybe even blocked... unfeeling, closed, inflexible and narrow minded in their Whirled they perceive, all around them. They also become crafty, manipulative and exceptionally stubborn! When this begins to happen they get "stuck" and have a tendency to martyr themselves for whatever it is they have built. The remedy, of course, is to dig deep and see if this rooting has become root-bound. Complacent. Mediocre. Bored. Melancholy. If such is the case, One must force one 's Self to move around the Wheel under the influence of another Elemental Clan. If, however, One is feeling out in space or ungrounded... it is Time to reacquaint your Self with Earth in All her Glory. Communing with Nature. Camping. Star Gazing. Gardening. Getting your hands dirty. Only You will know where You are. And your Turtle friend as well..... I hope this helps. ------------------ Gnosis ThySelf "Knowledge must bow to Spirit" IP: Logged
charmainec Moderator Posts: 2310 From: on the other side of the rainbow Registered: Apr 2009	posted April 19, 2011 04:26 AM "Turtle is the oldest symbol for the Earth. It is the personification of goddess energy and the eternal Earth itself. If you have a Turtle totem, you must be mindful of returning to the Earth what she has given you. Honor the creative source within you. Use water and earth energies to create a harmonious flow in your life. Ask the Earth for assistance and her riches will pour forth. If a Turtle totem shows up in your life, slow down the pace of your life. Bigger, stronger, faster are not always the best ways to reach your goals. Turtle is fine teacher of the art of grounding. When you learn to ground yourself to Earth's power and strength, you place focus on your thoughts and actions and use the Earth's limitless energies rather than your own to accomplish your will." Found that on a site. IP: Logged

Registered: Apr 2009	posted April 23, 2011 10:11 AM Randall, would you like some turtle "worry stones"? They are kinda like the Guatemalan Worry Dolls or Shiva Lingams. The raw gem shoppe here sells little soapstone and or marble turtles you can wear as a pendant or earrings, or to carry in your pocket as a worry stone to rub to degauss negative energy. Also used to help you connect better to your totem animal. Totems show up in our lives when we need the lessons they each can teach. Totems can change throughout our lives teaching us new things. ------------------ ~The present time is theirs, but the future is mine.~Nikola Tesla ~There is no box.~H♥ ~Balance is not letting anyone love you less than you love yourself.~Felipe ~I remember, therefore I am immortal~LEXX ~It is far better to regret wrong paths taken than to regret the paths not tried~Giselle }><}}}(*>~ IP: Logged
