Symbol meaning
Seashells and mussels are born in the depths of the sea and offer a symbolic connection to the endless energy of the ocean, the constant movement, representing the beginning of all life . Just as each shell is its own unique individual, it helps us see the uniqueness of our own lives. Shells and mussels may have cracks, be missing parts or have lost some of their original color. Thus, they remind us that life is not always perfect. Shells and mussels have been an important part of various religions and spirituality throughout history, serving as symbols and even ritual objects in, among others, Christianity, Hinduism, among the indigenous peoples of the Americas and the Pacific, and in the Mediterranean. Shells are associated with Omphalos, the ancient Greek world pole, and have been carved into ancient monuments around the world. The characteristic spiral structure of shells occurs in nature according to the rule of the golden ratio. Their spiral shape creates a vortex of power that weaves energy outwards or inwards. It reminds us of the cycle of life, spiritual growth, transformation and the journey into our own inner self. For those who believe in reincarnation, shells represent a new beginning.
Ritual use
On the altar, shells and conchs represent the element of water and are placed in the west, with earth in the north, air in the east, and fire in the south.
