Tips on Interpreting Spirit Animal Messages & Meanings:

My sixth free Spirit Animal lore oracle card! Turtles are the wise old advisers of the spiritual community. They are associated with harmony, longevity and taking life at a steady pace.  They are integral to the World Turtle myths from several cultures (such as those from India, China, Maori, Native American and Ancient Greece). I have here a printable (customise to any size you like) information sheet regarding the ancient traveller known as the Turtle. The information sheet contains its taxonomic classification, habitat and diet as well as their metaphysical superpower of carrying the load of the world on their backs! I explain what the message of the turtle spirit animal (or totem) is and how they guide you through your life.

Tip: Turtle plastrons (flat underside of turtle shell) were used as oracle bones during pyromancy in China. Plastromancy involved burning clean empty shells and interpreting the pattern of cracks that resulted. Thus, the turtle symbol can be incorporated into divinatory magic.

I have two downloadable files here for personal and non-commercial use (click links below). You can use the cards for readings, but the production of them as a deck or individual cards for selling is not permitted. Print out & enjoy! There are more flash cards to come!
