The World Turtle - David Smith
A shell holding in battle with arrows piercing until death and being split from themselves. The foot clan on one side and Shredder on the other. Buried with your shell after being ripped apart to the bone. The last Ronin wielding its samurai sword. The killing of family and clan, as did the Aztecs who married and then decapitating women from their neighboring civilization. With only a few still loyal to their cause, they fought knowing they were the only creatures of their kind and ultimately alone. Supporting the world through injustice and darkness, Cowabunga dude.
In the beginning, there were four turtles that I treasured most of all, the Teen Age Mutant Ninja Turtles. Birthdays, Christmas, and every day my imagination was filled with turtles, including bringing them home from nature. Nature? When elephants hold the Earth that is supported by a turtle. Human nature. Cutting out the heart to feed on the flesh in sacrifice, human and nature? Human or nature?
The picture above is a Hindu drawing made in 1887 of the World Turtle. On its back are four elephants that are supporting the world. The Native Americans are the more well known culture who gave her-her name, Mother Earth.
The turtle became the Native American's yearly calendar. Their calendar has thirteen moons in a year and twenty-eight days between each moon. All North American natives used the turtle for a calendar. The turtle shell has thirteen larger sections on its shell that represent the moons and every turtle has twenty-eight smaller sections around the outer base of its shell, called scutes. 28 scutes that ends each moon cycle. If you multiply 13 by 28 the sum equals 364 days. This is of course one day short of the Gregorian calendar that we use today. It is said the Native Americans did not count the one day that would make up the 365- day calendar. This is the day they forgave all. Wars would stop for one day and it would be known as the day of nothing. Each moon coincides with something that happened in their environment, depending on the geographical location. The high,
or top of winter was represented by the first moon and the eagle’s returning home on the second. The goose moon was the third of March when the geese returned, and so on as it continues as an example of how they taught their children to keep track of their environment.
Between 1678 and 1680, the great turtle creation story (The World Turtle) was said to have been recorded first by the Lenape, who were groups of indigenous peoples from Northeastern Woodlands and the midwest United States and Canada.
The spiritual reason the Native Americans named it the World Turtle is because of the shape resembling a prehistoric turtle when you look at all of the landmasses of the supercontinent named Gondwana. Gondwana is North America, Canada with Mexico, and South America. Finding this
