  • The history of the turtles


The turtle has a powerful spiritual symbol worth worldwide in a number of traditions and cultures. From the Indians to the Japanese, there are innumerable creation legends that show the turtle as a key character. In some Native American stories, the turtle is the deity of the world's coasts. Tradition has the animal brought mud from the bottom of the vast global ocean and used it to form continents.
