I'm a tortoise

Pinched from Patrick at The Pagan Temple:

Do you want to learn what your power animal is, or what power animal you can attune with for any specific purpose in mind. This site might give you the answer.

I got the tortoise:

Self-Belief Commitment Protection

No dream is too large, no goal too impossible, no destination too far, now that you are the tortoise!

The tortoise will teach you how to make time work for you. She knows that if you simply put one foot in front of the other and keep moving, you are bound to reach your destination. She is not afraid to set ambitious goals, even seemingly impossible goals, for her patience and tenacity are built upon a deep belief in herself. Allow her to give you this faith, this deep knowledge that you can accomplish anything you set out to do, if only you will keep going and never quit. For you are the tortoise, and the tortoise never gives up.

Let her also teach you how to pull inside yourself and find peace and quiet there, no matter where you are or what is happening. Whenever you need to, you may call her spirit to you and she will wrap you in her protective shell, surrounding you with so much love and caring that the events of the outside world will not disturb your center of peace.

Yes! I love it although I've always thought of tortoises as masculine. I realize of course that there have to be lady tortoises to make little baby tortoises but tortoises have never struck me as being very feminine critters. You can put lipstick on a tortoise but, to me, it will still look like an old man.
