These delightful good fortune elephant cards are full of positive fortune symbols:
Baby Elephant
-I chose the beautiful baby elephant as they are so full of life and love. They love to play and are always under the watchful, protective eye of the herd. The elephant emits strength, power, co-operative spirit, wisdom and intelligence. They communicate frequently with their sensitive trunks and often show their devotion to one another.
Turtle
-The turtle is another of my favorites and is riding on top of it’s trusted friend. The oldest fossils of turtles are dated at over 200 million years old. This is highly symbolic. It indicates the turtle is a symbol of longevity, endurance, persistence, and the continuation of life (sometimes against incredible odds). The turtle shows us that sometimes, in order to protect ourselves, we must go inside our shell. The turtle has great longevity living up to 150 years.
The turtle represents the way of peace – whether it’s external or internal. It is considered as the Peace-Maker in Native American traditions.
Being inspired by the wisdom of the turtle totem, you can slow down when you feel you are getting overwhelmed by a situation or emotions and rest to gain a more grounded perspective.
Crane
-Throughout Asia, the crane is a symbol of happiness and eternal youth. In Japan, the crane is one of the mystical or holy creatures and symbolizes good fortune and longevity because of its fabled life span of a thousand years.
Goldfish
-The goldfish is seen as a symbol of wealth, good luck and as a symbol of surplus and abundance.
Painting in three’s
-I often paint in threes as Number 3 is the number of good fortune. Three is considered the number of harmony, wisdom and understanding.
Four-leaf Clover
-The four-leaf clover is a rare variation of the common three-leaf clover. According to tradition, such clovers bring good luck. In addition, each leaf is believed to represent something: the first is for faith, the second is for hope, the third is for love, and the fourth is for luck.
White Daisy
– Daisy Renewal … when broken into two words –day’s eye –it’s easy to see how this Flower Spirit got its name. The daisy opens it’s petals at sun rise, then closes, as if to sleep, at sunset. It received the additional folk designation of thunder flower because it blossoms bountifully within such storms. Since it stands unharmed afterward, it represents protection and hardiness. The flower symbolism associated with the daisy is purity, innocence, loyal love, beauty, patience and simplicity.
Pine Tree
-Pine tree has an archetypal energy and message about eliminating our feelings of guilt and balancing over-emotionalism. The pine spirit is kind and sensitive and loves contact with humans. It soothes emotions and always reminds us that we should make decisions best from as clear a perspective as possible. The pine heightens our psychic sensitivity, while balancing the emotions as well. It reminds us to express our creative energies without feelings of guilt and without allowing others to overly influence or manipulate.
Lucky Bamboo
-Lucky bamboo, 1 Stalk – simplicity, meaningful life; attracting good fortune and well-being to its environment.
Chinese Lanterns
-Chinese Red Lanterns (round shape) represent harmony; booming in business like fire (red color). It also represents happiness, vitality, illustration and wealth.
