Brief description
A turtle’s extremities not only reach out to grasp and move about in the world, but recoil into the
stillness within, absorbed by the inner space of body/mind-consciousness. Likewise the hardness of
a turtle’s shell is contrasted by the softness of its flesh. Even though they seem to embody
creation’s heavy, material nature, the turtle most often suggests a complementation of opposites.
The acoustics of its shell contributed to the development of the musical arts. Legends recall that
Hermes/Orpheus fashioned the first Lyre by stretching strands of hide across a tortoise shell. The
turtle is thus symbolic of natural harmonies. |
Date astro
They were hand crafted between the Leo Full Moon (Feb. 6, 2004) and the Virgo Full
Moon (May 6, 2004).
