The seashell of the cowrie snail has long been an ancient symbol for the Goddess and rebirth due to it's resemblance to the Yoni, or Sacred Feminine. In many countries a cowrie is still given to new brides as a good luck charm for fertility. In magic spells this type of cowrie is most often used to enhance intuition, aide during transitional phases of life, and in helping to fulfill needs. Because of the ocean tide connection with the Moon, and the fact that this species of cowrie is nocturnal, Snakeshead Cowrie could be useful in Lunar magic as well.

Here are shown three pendant charms that I've made from large polished Snakehead Cowrie Shells. They are oval shaped chocolate brown sea shells with white spots. Each pendant is as unique as the individual shells and decoratively wrapped in wire by hand for unique one-of-a-kind charm. Add to your own satin cord, a favorite chain, your beaded necklace project. Such pendants could also hang as an amulet on a walking stick staff, leather pouch, or Native American flute.
