Eno & Turtle Medicine

A friend brought me back a turtle from Japan, he has been happily attached to the fanny pack I take out on my walks - as a representative of my turtle spirit. His name is Eno.

Funny until Eno came, I had totally forgotten I had a turtle as a pet in my preschool years. Memories of my turtle have come floating back - memories that did not arise even when I had dozens of turtle shells in my home in the past.








LOL - I can see by Eno's timepiece I was still at the park at 8:30pm Thursday.

From Spirit Animals & Totems:

The turtle totem wisdom teaches us about walking our path in peace and sticking to it with determination and serenity. Slow moving on earth, yet also incredibly fast and agile in water, those who have the turtle as totem or spirit animal may be encouraged to take a break in their busy lives and look around or within themselves for more grounded, long-lasting solutions. Traditionally, the turtle is symbolic of the way of peace, whether it’s inviting us to cultivate peace of mind or a peaceful relationship with our environment.


Turtle Symbolism

The turtle symbolism is characterized by the association with the Earth and earth symbols of groundedness and patience:
  • Symbol of the world, of the Earth
  • Ability to stay grounded, even in moments of disturbances and chaos
  • Slowing down, pacing yourself
  • Determination, persistence
  • Emotional strength and understanding
  • Ancient wisdom
The turtle is also linked to the spirit of the water and the fluid nature of emotions.
