Shell, Large

This large shell is a great way to represent the element of water on an alter or just for decoration in a home.   Seashells are revered in cultures around the globe, from Christianity to Buddhism. Their beliefs are very similar in the respect that seashells generally symbolize the safe passage of our souls from this world. Shells are the remnants of a life once lived and symbolize the journey a creature has gone through. When a shell is found on a beach, it is a reminder of the ‘shell’ that is left behind once the soul has left the body. They also symbolize the beauty of life and its many aspects.
