Signs of a beneficial effect
However, not all signs are so categorical. For a long time people believed that in shells there is a force that can protect a person from accidents and other misfortunes. It is for this reason that fishermen, before sailing out to sea, made amulets for themselves from sea shells.
Based on ancient beliefs, people have added several signs that have not lost their relevance today.

According to the signs, they can be used to decorate various products. They are used to decorate frames for photographs, mirrors, paintings, panels and even inlaid furniture.
How to neutralize the effect of bad omens?
Let's start with the fact that the shell bears negative only if the shell leaves it against its will. And if its inner surface has an intense red tint, it means that the owner was removed from there forcibly: by dipping the sink into boiling water. It is better to refuse such a purchase.
The shells of mollusks are not always obtained in a barbaric way. Many of them leave the owners on their own, and such souvenirs are incapable of harm, as they are considered 'clean'.
Then, when you come home, dip the purchased shell in salted water and hold it for several hours. This procedure will help to draw out the negative from the item, which was accumulated during your stay on the store counter.
And the last condition: during storage, the funnel of the shell must be closed. Here, everyone decides for himself what to do. You can turn the souvenir upside down or fill it with small items: buttons, pebbles, coins. In this case, the mollusk house will no longer be able to absorb positive energy and will perform only one function – a decorative element.
