I think my totem is a dolphin. I don't think you have to worry about anything--some stay for your whole life and some come and go, just like Pagan Medium and Thunderfoot said. Maybe it did switch, or maybe your turtle is still there but butterflies are trying to give you a message?? *Googling butterfly totem* "Herein lies the deepest symbolic lesson of the butterfly. She asks us to accept the changes in our lives as casually as she does. The butterfly unquestioningly embraces the chances of her environment and her body. This unwavering acceptance of her metamorphosis is also symbolic of faith. Here the butterfly beckons us to keep our faith as we undergo transitions in our lives. She understands that our toiling, fretting and anger are useless against the turning tides of nature – she asks us to recognize the same." - http://www.whats-your-sign.com/butte...symbolism.html.
