Smudging is a ritual performed to clear away negative energies, creating a space for healing and positive energies to emerge.
Abalone shells are often used in smudging rituals, not only because they are practical in that they catch the hot cinders that fall away from the smudging stick after it has burnt, but also because they are a beautiful gift straight from Mother Earth. They hold the energy of the ocean and bring a strong calming frequency.
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 unlit palo santo represent earth and once they’re lit they represent fire.
Also available individually. Large Abalone Shell (6 inches) and Palo Santo Bundle (bundle of 4)
