Sea Turtle of Wisdom

Associating the Sea Turtle with wisdom goes back as far as Ancient Chinese Mythology. Virtually every culture around the world attributes the presence of turtle to significant meaning for its people. Native American Culture associates the sea turtle with the wisdom of ancient ones, for its protective strength. In African cultures the sea turtle is a symbol of fertility. Stability, longevity, endurance and creation are also widely associated with the sea turtle. As one of the few animals that can survive on land and in the sea, the adaptability of this animal helped link its association to wisdom.

We must learn from the past, while always looking forward. Sea Turtles of Wisdom are made by hand out of clay from our Mother Earth for you by Ocean Springs artist Measha Dayne.
