Gemstone Skulls, also popularly called ‘Crystal Skulls’ are natural gemstones cut in the shape of a skull. These can be human or animal skulls, but also those of aliens or extraterrestrials. They play a role in various legends from around the world.
Throughout centuries and cultures, skulls have stood not only for the dead, but also ancestors and transience. They can even symbolize new life! They are believed to promote contact with ancient wisdom and higher consciousness. According to many, they are connected with the evolution of the earth and with ancestors.
Gemstone Skulls, and specifically Crystal Skulls, appear in many legends, for example in those of the Mayas and Aztecs. They also play an important role in the Akashic records and myths about lost empires such as Atlantis and Lemuria. For many people, Crystal Skulls are carriers of knowledge. They also symbolize a secure connection to the past, both personal and cosmic. Many people experience security and unconditional love with their skull.
Of the animal skulls, dragons and ravens are best known. For centuries, people have regarded crystal dragon skulls as housing for entities. Those entities could be angels or souls, for example. Through the crystal dragon skull, they would also be in contact with the five elements. Therefore, dragon energy is usually experienced as a transforming force.
Crystal skulls can be used in a variety of situations, including:
Gemstone skulls are often used to exchange knowledge. This can be between the owner and the stone, but also between skulls themselves. Commonly used multi-crystal skull setups include:
If you only have a single skull, you can also make a circle with other gems and minerals. Skulls are considered good interlocutors. That is why they are also regularly used with other crystals.
Workrooms, study places and practices can benefit from the wise qualities of a stone skull. Wherever one thinks and meditates, a skull can positively influence productivity.
The same applies to bedrooms, where they are placed next to the bed or under the pillow. Many people ask their gemstone skull a question before going to sleep, because the skull can also help to stimulate or understand dreams. It is also thought that they may also enable travel to other realities. Crystal skulls are seen as gateways to other dimensions, times or places.
Gemstone skulls are experienced as wise beings. You can therefore use them to deepen meditation and pursue enlightenment. Who knows, they might have something to tell you!
These figures are also used in body therapy and gemstone therapy for spiritual healing and to gain insight into energetic blockages. They are also believed to stimulate ideas and inspiration when used at the shoulders. Or that they help to see through and understand the past (crown) or future (feet). Crystal skulls can also be used for divination.
