🌷💗 Hello little rosebuds! For today’s post i want to show you folks on how i create correspondeces for seashells! At the near bottom of this post i selected some shells that i assign correspondence with my own personal thoughts and meaning. This is what i do when im bored, i find pictures of seashells that i like and i assign correspondences on them. 🌷💗

🕊 How i do it 🕊

Depending on shell I like to look up on the basic info on the shell and then I split into 7 categories: color, shape, name of the shell, feminine/masculine energies, element, animal behavior and uses in history/myths

Note: This applies to shells that haven’t had any magickal correspondences in them.

• Colors: depending on the most common color of the shell you can use existing color correspondence to assign the shells with it too! Some gastropods have nacre inside the shell this associates with beauty such as abalone and top shells.

• Shapes: there are a million kinds of shapes of shells, depending what’s it reminds you of. Most shells look similar and its totally okay to assign similar correspondence to them! Some shells can even resemble as human body parts and reproductive organs such as augers and cowries! You can use shells that are similar to any body parts to give it an extra boost!

• Shell name: most shells can be named after objects, figures or what they do. This is the first easy way to assign their correspondence to, since they’re practical depending on the name. Shells such as spindle shell and venus comb murex.

• Femmine/masculine energies: some shells can look nsfw-y depending on the shape or animal behavior. If the shell doesn’t look nsfw you can determine if the animal’s behavior. If the animal is aggressive you can assign it with masculine energy. If it’s calm and passive assign it with feminine energy.

• Element: depends on the feminine/masculine energies, how the shell is used, shell name, animal behavior or where the shell of the animal spends most of its time on.

• Animal behavior: most shells can be relaxed, they can bury themselves into sand, hiding/showing themselves off or come off as very aggressive. An interesting way to assign the shells with!

• History/myth: shells can be used throughout history such as jewellery making, using it as water vessels, divination, money, decorative objects and so on. Some Greek/Roman deities names can be featured on shells such as venus clams, junonia shells and triton’s conch, you can use deity symbols to align shells with. Plus you can also offer them shells that aligns with their names!
