Seashells are among the most remarkable designs found in nature. They are usually perceived as feminine; a symbol of birth, good fortune, and resurrection.
Cowrie shell may be one of the first yonic symbols. Its name derived from Kauri, a pre-Vedic Indian goddess; it represents rebirth and the female Gate of Life. It is used throughout the Middle East, Egypt, the South Pacific, and the Mediterranean as a charm for healing, fertility, magical power, or good luck. Romans called the cowrie the matriculus, meaning little matrix or little womb; among the Greeks, the word κτείς (kteis) meant vulva, a cowrie shell, a scallop, or a comb (an attribute of mermaids and sirens); Gypsy women valued the cowrie, worn as an amulet, as a focus of their feminine powers.
