I use them both in my magickal work often. I have a big conch that I use for divination (holding it to my ear to hear messages) and I also use four cowrie shells for divination. Sea shells are great and I love to find them myself instead of buying them. A wonderful online reference for sea magick and witchery is seawitch.org Here are some shell correspondences from that site: Abalone ~ This shell is quite deceitful. Hidden beneath its drab exterior is a beautiful mother-of-pearl interior. Use this shell in spells to seek hidden treasures and good fortune. Auger ~ This obviously phallic shell can be used for any spells of male concern. Clam ~ Renaissance artists painted Venus coming to shore on a clam shell. It has long been considered a symbol of the Goddess. Cockle The basis of the expression "warming the cockles of the heart," this shell is best used in spells for love, friendship, relationships, emotions. Conch ~ When blown, this shell produces a loud noise. It can be used effectively in spells of summoning, for difficulties in communicating, and as an aid in clearing up misconceptions.

It is best used in meditations on destiny, but can also be used to inspire any art or craft project. Whelk ~ A curved shell that is easy on which to get a grip, whelk shells are used for spells when you need to 'get a handle' on things and gain control of a situation. converted by Web2PDFConvert.com Date A Wiccan dateawiccan.com Meet Local Singles Into Wicca.

Whenever I visit Give a Gift home, I usually make sure to go to the gulf and take home tokens from the waters. I have a bunch of them in a box that also holds other things like incense and miscellaneous objects.
