Crystal Skulls
The discovery of the first crystal skulls have been said to date back tens of thousands of years ago to the times of ancient Aztec, Maya and Toltec civilizations. Around the 19th century, crystal skulls started to surface in art and historic circles all over the world, gaining interest and popularity and of course bringing forth to people's minds the question of origin, their meaning and their uses.
In modern times, particularly in western culture, the skull more often than not, represents death and morbidity. Popular with pop culture, skull shapes and images have become so common in the mainstream world that it's origin and first understandings have been forgotten over the years.
The connotations associated with skull shaped crystals are often that of morbid, dark or negative stereotypes. Alternatively, skulls should be remembered for its ancient roots and respected as a representation of ancestor connections and spirit guide wisdom.
Skulls are a representation of that which is you as your higher self. It is a reminder that we should not take things at face value and to always work on ourselves starting from within, be it spiritually, mentally or emotionally, we must always remind ourselves that we should take care of our spiritual well-being in coherence with our other states. This will create balance and harmony within ourselves and therefore will be projected into our lives and relationships.
Skulls in crystal form will help reconnect with your soul's history and awaken your higher self to unlock and to deepen your understanding of your own spiritual journey.
Crystal skulls are one of the most powerful spiritual tools to help reveal your ancient records, raise your human consciousness, connect with your spirit guides and expand your psychic abilities. Perfect for meditative and shamanic work, mediums and those in the line of metaphysical work.
The fascinating detail and mastery of carved skulls is certainly one for mysterious symbolism.
