The Skull is the seat of our wisdom and our power to think. It reminds us of our mortality and the impermanence of life. In alchemy, the skull represents the receptacle used in the process of transformation. Bones also represent death, and a return to the earth. The skull and crossbones have been used to represent poison and danger as well as pirates, and are also utilized by the Knights templar and in part of certain Masonic degree ceremonies.

Some folks see skulls and bones as frightening. We see them as the architecture of the body, the foundation that brings beauty and form to the muscles and skin. Nor does the aspect of death strike fear into your heart if you can use it as a reminder that life is precious and that since we all will one day turn to bones, we need to make use of our time on this earth and live to the fullest.
