Conch Shells
While renovating our garage, we found a box of large conch shells in ashes. Does anyone know if this was used for a specific purpose or just a shell collector? Our house is from around 1840-50s. Thanks

voodoo?
You know, it could just have been left by a collector. I am from Hawaii and we use ash with shells to put a shine on the outside… no boogah boogah, just some cosmetic hoo doo to make the shells shine

Probably was a Cthulhu or Dagon cult operating out of your house. Not uncommon for the time period and area. Santeria would be unusual to find around here.
Sounds like santeria to me.
Shells were used as wedges to level out stones with thin joints.
Shell dust was used as mortar for bluestone and marble.(Fireplaces,Lobbys)
