Details

Cowrie shells were once one of the most important symbols of wealth and money for centuries. It was a universal form of currency whose relevance was weaved into the cultural fiber of ancient African societies.

Money aside, The shells are known to bring the luck and to protect the spirit of the wearer, and many tribes use them in spiritual ceremonies. They are a symbol of traditional African spirituality, a tool to help increase fertility, and a gift from the Ocean Goddess (Mami Wata).

In recent years, cowries have taken root in pop culture—with people adorning the shells on instruments, and even hairstyles. We are now using its powerful history and symbolism within our art. Regardless of how the shells are used, one should always keep in mind the significance of the shell and its true spiritual meaning.
