Lightning whelk shells have a spiritual meaning for many Native Americans in the southeast. The shells are considered sacred and iconic, and are a reminder of the following:
- The inevitability of time
- The mortality of human life
- Cycles of renewal and rebirth
The shells are also significant to tribal beliefs and rituals because of their left-sided opening. The clockwise spirals of the inner shell represent the movement from light to darkness and birth to death.
