Ocean - any image of the ocean is symbolic of the Goddess' womb in many Witchcraft traditions. The waters of the ocean bring life into the world.

Shell - many other types of shells also represent the Goddess. Any spiral-shaped shells or conch type shells can bring powerful Goddess energy to any spell or ritual.
