Can you keep seashells at home? Signs and omens about seashells

When purchasing shells as a souvenir, many people have no idea that keeping them at home is a bad omen. What is this belief connected with? And is it possible to prevent their negative impact on the indoor atmosphere?

Why can't you keep sea shells at home?

Superstitious people are inclined to believe that it is better not to keep shells at your place, and there are several reasons for this.

• A shell is a house left over from a dead mollusk; accordingly, such an object is a magnet for negative energy. While in the apartment, it will attract only bad events: suddenly problems may arise at work, sadness and pain come into the house.
• By saturating the room with negativity, seashells attract illness into the house. Moreover, health problems can arise for all family members. According to popular belief, the souvenir worsens the functioning of the cardiovascular system, provoking the development of diseases such as tachycardia, hypertension, and varicose veins.
• Closed seashells can cause the most trouble. In many cultures they are associated with the end of earthly life and coffin.

People say that the negativity that comes from shells can destroy the favorable aura in the house. Therefore, it is better to place them in those rooms where you rarely go: in the pantry, in the attic or on the balcony.

Signs of beneficial influence

However, not all signs are so categorical. Since ancient times, people have believed that sea shells contain a power that can protect a person from accidents and other misfortunes. It was for this reason that fishermen made amulets from sea shells before going to sea.

Based on ancient beliefs, people have put together several signs that have not lost their relevance today.

• Keeping shells at home may be a good idea, as they may bring happiness and good luck. By placing a souvenir on your desktop, a person will achieve heights in his career, in the financial sphere and respect in the team.
• Small shells protect against an evil eye. It is enough to hang such a bracelet on your hand or simply place several units in the hallway, and energy vampires will not be able to harm your home.
• Being in an apartment, seashells will attract prosperity and success. And when you locate them in the bedroom, harmony is achieved in intimate relationships between spouses.

According to signs, they can be used to decorate various products. They decorate photo frames, mirrors, paintings, panels and even inlay furniture.

How to neutralize the effects of bad omens?

Let's start with the fact that a shell carries negativity only if the mollusk left it against its own will. And if its inner surface has an intense red tint, it means that the owner was forcibly removed from there: by lowering the shell into boiling water. It is better to refuse such a purchase.

It is not always the case that mollusk shells are obtained in a barbaric manner. Many of them are left by the owners on their own, and such souvenirs are incapable of harm, since they are considered “clean”.

When you come home, place the purchased shell in salted water and keep it there for several hours. This procedure will help draw out the negativity from the item that has accumulated while on the store counter.

And the last condition: during storage, the shell funnel must be closed. Here everyone decides for themselves what to do. You can turn the souvenir upside down or fill it with small objects: buttons, pebbles, coins. In this case, the clam house will no longer be able to absorb positive energy and will perform only one function - a decorative element.
