The value of the turtle: where to put what symbolizes in the jewelry and talismans?
Specialists closely associate a talisman in the form of a turtle with one of the most ancient civilizations that have a rich centuries-old culture - with China. The symbolism of this animal is of tremendous importance in the popular Chinese philosophy and teaching of Feng Shui today. The usual statuette or even a painted image of this very slow representative of animals is one of the important attributes for this philosophy. According to her the turtle should have its place in any home and be sure to be where you work. What else can a turtle mean? What protective forces does it have, what benefits can its owners bring?
What does symbolize?
To begin with, it should be noted that the turtle is the most ancient symbol of the structure of the universe and the cosmic order. Not without reason in many myths it is the big turtle that holds the Universe on its solid shell. The turtle can be called a symbol of true stability. It also means that for the most successful advancement in life, people just need to take into account the most important laws of the universe, to have clear moral principles and faith in basic truths. This kind of basis is similar to the turtle shell, which protects from danger, gives shelter and proper rest, if necessary.
The Chinese very often unite the tortoise and the dragon that is no less revered by them into a single whole - the so-called dragon-turtle, thereby creating one of the most powerful protective amulets to qualitatively increase the energy level of the owner of this talisman.
If you carefully consider this incredible creature, you can easily find in it parts of a tiger or a phoenix. The turtle, which relies on the paws of the dragon, means confidence and enhanced protection against evil spells. Placed in a dwelling, it will successfully resist various quarrels and unpleasant influences of other people.
Often on the back of such a strange "dragon-turtle" can be considered a smaller bug. This figure is placed where children most often play - so that their relationship with their parents develops harmoniously. The dragon turtle that sits on gold coins or holds one of them in the mouth is placed in the zone of wealth and well-being. You can also buy a turtle, on the shell of which a snake housed - this is a sign of centuries-old wisdom and protection.
Wisdom
The main life principle of the turtle - "The quieter you go, the farther you will be." But here it is not meant to all the known slowness of the turtle, but full weighing up of those wise decisions that make it possible to correctly follow the path of life. Everything should go on as usual - without haste, you just need to firmly hold the main goal of your life in your field of vision. The turtle also means flexibility and excellent adaptability, as it can easily exist in two elements - aquatic and terrestrial.
Perseverance
The turtle can be called the standard of dedication, as well as the ability to work. The turtles are not very mobile, but always crawl to the point they need, without paying any attention to any obstacles or difficulties on their long journey. The hard work that a turtle does will always be well organized, successful and thought out to the smallest detail.
Health and longevity
The turtle is a symbol of long life and very good health.These amphibians themselves are long-lived, besides, their species first appeared millions of years ago and has not changed much since then. The leisurely lifestyle of the turtles suggests the only correct mode of life and routine that will be the basis for excellent health. Durable shell means high immunity, protection from any disease.
Wealth
In China, the turtle is a well-known symbol of well-being, since the animal usually differs by laying a large number of eggs. Turtles help stubborn people to get up the career ladder and therefore increase their well-being. Various ethnic groups attached all sorts of mythical significance to these animals. Slavs called turtles "unclean" or "reptiles".
In Christianity, the tortoise was considered a manifestation of evil forces, and therefore, belonged to the symbols of sinful feelings. However, in some manuscripts, it was possible to find information that this amphibian can mean decent behavior of a married woman who lives in complete solitude (as if locked in an armor).
In Iran, the sign of the turtle is fertility. At the Mongols in different drawings this animal kept a world mountain on its back, black paws showed all 4 sides of the world already known at that time. In Europe, the tortoise was also a symbol of fertility, true love and happy longevity.
The shell of the shell was used in many rituals as protection, and the amphibian’s eyes in a frame of gold could serve as an obstacle to a possible evil eye. In the Greeks and Romans in the legends you can find tools from the shells of these amphibians, as well as stories about the transformation of the main characters into skulls. The animal was attributed to the underworld of the gods: for example, the name "Tartar" is derived from the nickname of the tortoise - tartaruga.
In Tibet, it was also considered the embodiment of a living model of our Universe. The head of the turtle was turned to the south, the tail defined the north, and the paws were the eastern and western sides. According to the myths of Tibet, creatures emerged from the fat of the tortoise, from which various phenomena originated - storm, storm, hail. And, of course, everyone remembers the old cosmic model of the Universe, where 3 huge elephants hold a massive earth on their backs while standing on a very large tortoise.

How to arrange in the house?
For the statuette of a turtle their correct location will be of great importance. According to Eastern philosophy, this symbol is best placed in the northern areas of the home - there is a zone of career growth.

For this place you can still pick up a special amulet - 3 turtles standing on top of each other.
Where in the house is best to put the selected product in order to finally achieve material flowering? Feng Shui will advise the southeast part of the room. It is worth putting a talisman of gold color or made of wood.

The value of talismans and ornaments
A statuette, a neat photo, a drawing, an original piece of jewelry - all of this can act as a protective amulet, and a living animal can play this role. In the dwelling, usually, as a talisman, one statuette of small parameters or ordinary sizes is placed in a frame, and one oversized figure is picked up in the office. As an amulet for women, you can pick up a brooch or an interesting pendant, a noticeable pendant for a massive bracelet, a ring, a creative earring for the navel or an earring in the ear. It is better not to purchase paired earrings, because the tortoise can be a protective product only when it is alone and not in a pair.
More often, such protective figures are made of natural stone. Everybody considers a jade turtle to be a habitual variant - this piece of ornamental stone has long been considered to be a symbol of eternal wisdom. Oriental craftsmen often use agate (turtles made of onyx are especially in demand), products from aquamarine, bright topaz are popular. A bracelet in the form of a product with a precious stone must be clothed in a gold or silver frame (silver is better suited to protect).
If you want to create an amulet with your own hands, you can choose any natural material that is available for manual processing.
The most effective talisman, according to the teaching, is the presence of a live turtle in the dwelling.At the same time, it is necessary to remember about the presence in the dwelling of a small container with water in which more than one animal can live. It will be a great gift from you for those people whom you want to protect from negative impact.
