Why are turtle figurines so popular? The answer is unequivocal – this animal has a powerful energy with a plus sign! And all that is needed to attract well-being is to correctly position the talisman in your home.
What the turtle symbolizes
First of all, the turtle mascot symbolizes the foundation. Remember, people once believed that the earth is flat and stands on three elephants, which, in turn, lean on a huge turtle.
At the same time, she is the personification of not only reliable support, stability, but also protection: a strong shell protects from danger and gives a feeling of shelter, a roof over your head.
But this is far from the only meaning of the symbol.
- Wisdom. A turtle is an animal that purposefully moves forward. She is in no hurry, but at the same time she does not let her target out of sight. An animal with its inherent wisdom knows that everything goes on as usual and should not interfere with the plans of the Universe, since nothing can be changed anyway. Walk according to the flow of life, carefully weigh your every decision, not make unnecessary movements – these are the main indicators of flexibility and wisdom.
- Perseverance. The turtle knows that it cannot quickly reach its goal, but in spite of everything it stubbornly moves towards it. The obstacles and difficulties that are encountered on the way, she courageously overcomes and continues on her way. Organization and hard work always give the desired results.
- Longevity. Turtles lead a measured lifestyle, which is considered the main reason for their longevity. It is noteworthy that, having appeared on the planet a long time ago, their appearance has undergone minimal changes. As a result, the opinion was formed that the correct daily routine and regime are closely related to good health. In this case, the animal's shell is a symbol of strong immunity.
- Financial stability, prosperity. If we talk about a turtle, then it increases wealth only if a person leads a godly life and works hard. Don't expect any money that has fallen from heaven from this animal.
However, among the Slavs, the turtle was associated with evil, disease and misfortune. She was put on a par with other cold-blooded animals that are disgusting (lizards, snakes, toads and others) and did not expect any benefits from her.
