Spiritually, according to African legend, if you are attracted to cowrie
shells you could be family to an ocean spirit of wealth and earth. It also
represents Goddess protection which is very powerful and connected with the
strength of the ocean. Throughout Africa, and South and North America, the
cowrie symbolized the power of destiny and prosperity. Thought of as the mouth
of Orsisas, it also is believed to have taught stories of humility and respect.
These panels are pictures of the individuals they
represent, their occupations and their likes.
They also go beyond the physical first image you see to
reveal and encompass history.
It is important that we recognize there is more to a
person than meets the eye.
