I wanna know if shells can be used like stones - if they contain energy. I know Esiris mentioned she works with shells in the Your Stone thread

Cowry shells are used for divination- I don't divine with them, but they're sacred so I keep lots of different shells around.

I wouldn't see why not.

I guess it would depend on what people think of when they want to use shells like stones- is it the shape and color or the material that is special.

That makes sense. To me, what body of water it came from and shape are important. I am not as picky with the color of the shell.

For me a lot of it's the kind of shell- and what I am using it for.

I've heard some people mention that shells, or particular shells, are sacred to their goddess and should never be used. But I'm not sure who she was exactly.

Do you use shells San, or do you just stick with stones?

I think shells can be quite interesting to work with, but I guess that as with stones, it requires a personal contact and permission and the energy they hold will be very individualized (again as with stones). If you have an opportunity to walk a shore and find the right ones, you should try that.

I'm very connected to the sea. And shells I adore a lot. And I always search for shells at the beach, so whatever draws me, I'll choose.

So you really should do that and if you have a good connection, then it won't be hard to attune with each. ^^

I have a bowl of saltwater and sea shells on my altar. I feel energy in that.
