Shell– Teresa

Shells are gifts from Yemaya, the Goddess of the ocean. She is the mother goddess, the goddess of home, fertility, love and family. Like water she represents both change and constancy–bringing forth life, protecting it, and changing it as is necessary. According to legend, Yemaya’s first gift to humans was a sea shell in which her voice could always be heard. To this day we honor Yemaya when we hold a shell to our ear in order to hear her voice, the ocean.
