Bone represents the earth and our connection to it. Bone is also said to signify strength and to amplify prana (life force energy.) Skulls traditionally represent Transition and the Impermanence of Life and the Limits of Human Knowledge and Bodily Power. As a symbol, it communicates that Death is a part of the Natural Law and the Passage of Time. Skull beads and symbols help remind us to reflect upon the Inevitability of Death and the necessity of embracing lives filled with love and compassion.
