Sea Turtle
Meaning, Medicine & Magic
Sea Turtle symbolizes longevity, peace, grounding, ancient wisdom, and emotional strength.
Turtle carries the world on its back, grounding it wherever it goes.
Turtle is determined and persistent as it slowly moves on land, steadily evolving physically.
By slowing down and pacing yourself you can endure the chaos of life’s transformational cycles with ease.
At times it can feel like an emotional tsunami as you navigate through the deep waters of the world’s emotions.
By practicing non-attachment, you can be at peace with your own path and appreciate all aspects of yourself.
Keeping a steadfast mind will bring confidence and calm to your emotional state, as well as peace and acceptance to your unique path.

My mom unexplainingly associates my 2 month old son with a sea turtle. He was born premature with many many issues. She cant explain why, but thats her baby sea turtle ❤
So cute!
I went the aquarium one time a sea turtle came to me like lifted his head out of water and everything I loved that moment
Hello, i dreamt of sea turtles that had a spiral drawing lit on their back, in my dream i was Swimmimg with the current and was told it was rare to see the “illuminated turtles” when suddenly they appeared below me they were more than 2
I went to the Hudson River to pay my respect to Oshun and my ancestors by taking them flowers and released them. I stood there giving gratitude for the path that I was on and suddenly the water became smooth and informed the shape of a giant turtle. Not only that the flowers that were going downstream came back up as if the sea turtle was taken down to Oshun. I thought it was a salmon that took the flowers upstream because I doubted it what I saw before my eyes.
After living in Hawaii for 13 years I have found the Honu or sea turtle to be one of my dearest animal totems and have had then tattooed on me. I have had them not only in my dreams but they have consistently been popping up in my daily life, out of the blue. So I try and pay attention to the message it’s trying to give me.
