The Sacred Conch Shell
Throughout the ancient South/North America, conch shell trumpets were blown to announce significant Earthly events, opening of ceremonies, on the battlefield as a signal to engage the enemy  and during religious rites to accentuate the peak spiritual moment.
 
The conch shell represents the water and the underworld it is connected to certain deities. In Mexico conch shells denoted high status and special spiritual power. The Aztec also use it to signal the 4 directions, and used to call the rain god 'Tlaloc'. It is said that Quetzalcoatl created life with the aid of a conch shell and he is always pictured wearing a conch pectoral.
 
In the Maya region, conch shells were associated with the Underworld and conch trumpets were used during rituals to recall ancestors or supernatural.
 
Known as the 'Pututo' among the Indians of the highlands in South America. Used in religious events, communal gatherings, festivals, and processions.
 
Within the ceremonial Hawaiian practices the conch shell dates back to the ancient times and continues in many present day traditions. Blowing the Pu is a deep part of Hawaiian culture. Blown in accordance with Hawaiian protocol, it is a call to the divine announcing the official beginning of a sacred ceremony.
 
One of the 5 weapons of Vishnu to destroy evil forces and known to the Hindu's as the 'shankh'. According to Hindu mythology it was the primordial sound of creation.
 
The Tantric object associated with the 'spirit of air', proclaims the glory of the Saints in Buddhism. The white conch which coils to the right symbolizes the deep, far reaching and melodious sound.
 
Used throughout the Pacific Rim cultures as a signaling and ceremonial wind instrument. Known as 'Putatara' to the Maori.
 
Known as 'Lambi' in Voodoo ceremonies dedicated to the spirit 'Agwe'. Agwe is a water spirit, and is of particular interest to seafaring people such as fishermen.
 
Used by Triton the son of Poseidon and Amphitrite, this merman of the ancient Greeks was often depicted with a trumpet made from a conch which he used to raise or calm storms.
