The Turtle and
Tortoise Totems
Tortoise Totems
The Turtle and the Tortoise are very similar in nature and
appearance. Some Turtles, however, have the added element of being
considered a sea and land creature, while the Tortoise, due to its lack of
webbed feet, is more grounded and connected to the Earth. There is one
species of Turtle, the massive Sea Turtle, which never leaves the water except
to lay eggs. Both are considered sacred by many cultures and
tribes.

The Turtle comes in many sizes and some Box Turtles can be
very small, about the size of a quarter. Box Turtles are one of those who live
on the land. Some species of Turtle seldom leave the water and have webbed
feet to aid in fast swimming. The female will leave the water to dig a deep
hole in the sand in which to lay her eggs. These Turtles are very connected to
the element of water and the flowing freedom it brings. Turtle shells are very
beautiful and the markings often found at the bottom of their bodies can be
quite intricate and artistic.

According to some cultures, the top shell of a turtle is
said to represent Heaven while the bottom of the shell or underbelly is thought
to represent Mother Earth. The Turtle unites Heaven and Earth. There is a
Chinese legend that tells of the Sacred Turtle; its shell contains a map of the
Nine Regions of China and it holds up the sky, he is honored and respected by
the people of that country. The Turtle is also one of the Four Guardians of the
Compass of Celestial Emblems of the Chinese Emperor; it guards the North is
associated with the winter season and its color symbol is black. The Lakota
Indians of the Midwest United States see the Turtle as their creator, to them
she is a feminine power and, as she grants life; she is sacred to them. The
women of the Lakota tribe aspire to be as the Turtle, flexible and
long-lived.

The Tortoise does not have webbed feet, but thick sturdy
legs. They lack the necessary biological equipment to thrive in the
water. They have large domed shells and they are terrestrial and thus have
a deep connection with the Earth. They also carry their homes upon their
backs. They move very slowly and determinedly to their
destination. They live on a diet of leaves, shrubs and insects. They
like to dig burrows when it is very hot outside which they will slip into to
cool off from the heat of the daytime sun. They are shy, but amiable
creatures. The old adage “slow and steady wins the race” comes from the
characteristics of the Tortoise. Tortoise’s are also symbols of immortality
in Buddhism, and are thought to be the impermanent dwelling place for souls
making their way through a series of lives on the path to Nirvana

The physical, spiritual and mystical similarities between
the Turtle and the Tortoise are very similar. These creatures are
methodical, determined and patient. Whether they live on land or in the sea

independence, travel, and the ability to not be tied down or chained to one
place as they both carry their home with them wherever they desire to
be. They both posses strong self-protection in the form of their home
shells, they can pull their extremities into their shell which offers them
safety from outside threats.
