Crystal Skull collecting

Tarotphelia

I see the previous crystal skull thread made a sudden resurgence lately -just in time for my secret crystal skull confession. I just bought 2 more. (nagging crystal guilt...)

Somehow it was just time and I was carried along by the current of inevitability .. I bought a clear quartz , and a fluorite one. I have wanted a clear quartz one for years and I wonder if it will feel different from the others . I had to use the tarot to decide between two fluorite specimens. One got the Hermit rx, and the other got the Emperor, so I went with the Emperor. It's from a seller that owns one of the life size ancient skulls, and she clears and exposes the new skulls to the old energy. It will be interesting to see if I can pick up any effects.

I already have a hematite , a brecciated jasper, and a smokey quartz. The hematite gives me a very secure feeling , like a rescuer. The jasper one is incredibly soothing in times of stress and makes me feel very connected to the earth. The smokey quartz one I am almost afraid of in a way . Not a bad way, but in a way that might be too powerful. It has gotten steadily darker , from the sun or the refrigerator I think, and it is almost black now.

Eventually I want an amethyst one too. But a chevron, banded amethyst, and I am not seeing any anywhere. Budget is probably a factor here . I would love to buy really expensive large skulls, but that is just not possible.

I have been thinking lately of keeping all the skulls together in some kind of circle. Maybe finding a mandala or energy diagram of some kind to place them on , and letting them charge in the sun on that.

Does anybody else collect crystal skulls? Do you have anything special you do with them, or a special place you keep them?

i've only ever heard of crystal skulls. to be honest, i don't really like skulls, so I probably will never get one. What is the significance of them?

Thank you Fulgour, that's a whole lot of stoneporn !

The significance of crystal skulls begins with the ancient ones that are mysteries . How they were carved, by whom , etc. There is a Native American legend of 13 ancient crystal skulls that contain messages and powers for mankind . Some of these ancient ones travel with their present day owners and people are able to channel their spirits . They have been credited with psychic acceleration too. A search on ancient crystal skulls will provide lots of interesting reading . The shape of the skull itself is supposed to be significant in energy work.

Not all people like the skull image though. I guess it doesn't bother me. We all have one. In one way , it is the image of death and mortality , but it is also the image of humanity . Skulls and bones can be beautiful in a natural way . Crystals & stones are said to be the bones of the earth.

Dark Inquisitor,
There seem to be many folks who sell the skulls on the web, but could you recommend a reputable one?
Many thanks and blessings,
Bodhran

What a beautiful way of putting it Dark Inquisitor! The Celts believed that a person's soul was located in the skull. I have a resin skull with celtic knotwork in my meditation room. But now that you've introduced me to crystal skulls, and since I LOVE crystals, I'm afraid I about to uncover a new addiction! :)
Blessings and hugs,
Bodhran

Ooo- thanks !! Your Celtic knotwork skull sounds beautiful . Crystal skulls are special . The skull shape seems to add an extra dimension . There is also a theory that all crystal skulls ancient and modern are connected and can be used to access the wisdom of the old ones. The various crystal skull books are fascinating too, and it is time I got another one ! The author of the original crystal skull thread here interacted with one or more of the old ones and felt their power first hand . A reading I did on the skulls was very unusual and I felt a great energy coming through, which surprised even me.

Excellent links Dezroo, thank you for posting those. Very good pix of that crystal store in Manhattan .

Got my fluorite skull today !! Wow- it is even better than pictured,(as promised) and feels very , very good . It is full of fascinating structures to look in at . The carving is excellent . I am pondering a name for it. The smokey quartz one is Seneca , after the town it came from. Arizona might be nice for this one, since it came from that state. Not very creative I suppose, but I think it sounds ok for something so beautifully colored . All my crystal buying guilt is gone now !
