ABALONE SHELLS

Abalone shells are lovely to use for your smudging rituals. Not only a beautiful gift straight from Mama Ocean, but they are also practical in that they catch the hot cinders that fall away from the smudging stick after it has burnt.

Abalone shells are thick seashells that shimmer with gorgeous colors. They hold the energy of the ocean and bring a strong calming and healing energy, allowing you to remain connected to the sea - even when you are landlocked.

Including abalone shells in your smudging rituals means you are incorporating all four of the earth’s elements: the shell represents Water, the smoke represents Air, the bundle or sticks represent Earth, and once they’re lit they represent Fire. By incorporating the elements into your smudging ritual, you’re inviting Mother Earth to be the focus of your ceremony.
