Symbol meaning
The shells of this fascinating, horn-shaped sea conch are considered sacred musical instruments in many cultures. For example, the Greek god Triton, messenger of the deep, is often depicted with that seashell. Triton used the shell like a horn to raise or calm the waves of the sea. According to Hyginus, its sound was so terrifying that it made even the giants flee. Triton is the son of the sea god Poseidon and Amphitrite.
Ritual use
On the altar, shells and conch 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. Surround your sacred circle with conch or clam shells and call upon the powers of the moon to help you achieve your goals or let go of things that no longer serve you. Use conch and clams during the Purifico phase to amplify the healing power of the water.
