Tourtoise Spirit moves to an inner drummer that is in no hurry. Seeming to have no worries, Turtle plods along at a pace all Her own. If turtle had a mantra it would be “one small step at a time”. This Spirit Animal truly lives in the moment – taking one after another with simple, innocent acceptance. This is a powerful lesson for humans who rush about at unhealthy speeds, often missing the mystical gem that is right in front of them, here and now. Turtle’s greatest gift to us is learning to slow down and smell the roses (literally and figuratively). Being a water creature, some of the Turtle’s symbolism and meaning comes from that elemental influence. It is from the water that Turtle gains the attributes of insight and being able to understand and express our deeper emotions.
