Abalone

Abalone Shell is our gift from the ocean. Just holding it takes you to its magical watery depths. Considered to be a good luck charm, it brings forward the magic that lives in the ocean and can make an excellent offering during a ritual. It is regarded as a conduit for emotional healing and an emblem of protection, similar to the way it shields and nurtures the mollusk within. The vibrant, shifting colors on its surface are believed to represent the ever-changing nature of emotions and the ebb and flow of life's tides. As a sacred vessel, it is often used to hold and burn smudging herbs, such as sage or palo santo, during spiritual rituals. It's thought to purify the energy of the space, releasing negative influences and welcoming positive vibes.
