Angelite and Serpentine Turtle
“Turtle totem is an ally that aids you in connecting with the cycles of the moon above you and the earth beneath your feet. There are 13 segments on the inner part of the shell of most turtles. There are 13 moons each year, one cycle every 28 days. These 13 segments on Turtle’s shell are reminders to become aware of your relationship with the cycles of life.
When Turtle makes its slow entrance into your life, you are being reminded to maintain a connection with feminine energy, receiving intuitive insights while simultaneously staying grounded and focused on your earthly experience. Turtle is a sign to go within. Spend some silent time inside your own “shell” for quiet reflection. The practice of contemplation and inner connection brings transcendent strength.
Due to Turtle’s connection with the moon and her cycles, this totem helps those with the desire to steadily increase their intuitive skills. The receptive quality of the moon is aligned with the feminine vibration, which is receptive and intuitive by nature. Call on Turtle medicine to “be” instead of “do.” In the state of being, realizations arise to guide you on your path toward a balanced and stable experience.”
Excerpt from Animal Totems and the Gemstone Kingdom by Margaret Ann Lembo
“Angelite is a stone of communication, which is a two-way process—sending and receiving. Employ this stone when you need to be a better listener. Use it to sort out your thoughts and organize all aspects of your life. This is a good stone for writers, musicians, and artists, as it has a strong connection to the muses of Greek mythology.
Serpentine grounds you as you traverse the depths of your consciousness. With this stone in hand, you will find it easier to meditate and it will no longer see like a daunting task. This stone is good for shamanic journeywork, regression therapy, and progression therapy, which help to clear your consciousness of the source of negative thoughts. Cultivate kindness and love in yourself.
