Animal totem reading/ The Turtle 4/11/19

I’ve always had a life long affection/ fondness/ love for turtles. They gave me joy. As a child, I spent vacations with my family at the sea shore. The family house sat across the street from the bay and little turtles could be found around the home. I would delightfully pick one up in my open hand and feel the turtle crawling on it. Sometime his head would be inside it’s shell and other times the head would emerge and it’s big eyes would look up at me. How I loved turtles!

Fast forward to current times, the turtle spirit has emerged for me. I had to have turtle things around my home. I bought sheets, a throw blanket and a crystal turtle to reside on my spiritual table reminding me of the joy that I felt as a child. So what message does the turtle have for me at this point in my spiritual, life journey?

Turtle energy is about longevity, femininity , motherhood , patience . perseverance, endurance and protection. It reminds us not to be a rush for things to happen but to remember that slow and steady wins the race. The turtle is a great protector and we can draw upon that energy any time we feel afraid and in need of a protector. The turtle lives long and so can we if take life in stride. All of these things are great reminders for me and give me comfort in my time of reflection.
