Description
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.
Did you know the turtle is one of the oldest living animal ancestors walking on the earth today? The oldest fossils of turtles are dated at over 200 million years old. This is highly symbolic. It indicates the turtle is a symbol of longevity, endurance, persistence, and the continuation of life (sometimes against incredible odds).
Ever hear of the old adage �slow and steady wins the race.�? Not only is the turtle�s walking pace sure and steady, but so is its insistence at being a part of biological life on this earth. Something to consider when connecting with the turtle as a guide and mentor in living a dynamic, long life.
Animal symbolism of the turtle: order, creation, patience, strength, stability, longevity, innocence, endurance, protection.
