Knowing the truth requires a thorough understanding of all the Creator-given fundamental laws and a commitment to upholding them.
According to legend, GrandMama Turtle was present in the beginning when the Creator created the beings and gave them the seven sacred laws to ensure that they would never be lost or forgotten. The 13 moons that make up a turtle's back each represent one cycle of the earth's rotation around the sun. The 28 indentations on her back stand for the moon's cycle and a woman's menstrual cycle.
The turtle's shell serves as a reminder of the Creator's will and lessons and symbolizes the body as it was created by the Higher Power. Turtle Island is the name of this place, and her shell serves as a reminder of the 7 sacred laws to ensure that they would one day be Remembered and Reclaimed.
