So I realised after I posted my last blog post that this may all seem a little bit (or a lot) like random to people who have never had experience of crystal skulls before so this post is going to scratch the surface of exactly what the legend of the crystal skulls are. Further posts will explore what they do, where they came from and why we use them.
Firstly I'll deal with a few of the legends behind them. . .
Crystal skulls which have been found have been reported to date back to Aztec civilizations, however a lot of skepticism follows this belief due to the nature of their marking/carvings etc. Crystal skulls were first found near Aztec and Mayan ruins which lead to these legends coming about. The skulls vary in dating from 5000 years ago in some cases to 35000 years ago in others! The indigenous people claim that they have amazingly powerful healing and magic properties.
The problem with the crystal skulls is that nobody knows exactly when they came about. Some claim that they are all that is left from the Golden Age of Atlantis.
Aztec art and sculptures which have been excavated heavily feature these skulls which allows the links to Aztec times to be formed much more strongly than with the Mayans as the Mayan art which has been found has shown no signs of the skulls at all.
The problem in deciphering whether or not a skull is of ancient origin or whether it has been carved in recent times is a mystery which unfortunately, will be very hard to solve. This is because it is impossible to carbon date crystals.
So what are these legends?
Well, the main legend is the legend of the 13 skulls which does vary depending on the origins of the legends however the 13 skulls is common amongst the majority of the legends.
This legend states that there are 13 skulls, 12 which come one from each of the ancient sacred planets are circled around the 13th which represents the overall consciousness of the other 12 combined. The problem being that we have no idea which are the genuine original 13 skulls! When reunited, legends state that the 13 skulls will awaken a new era of awareness amongst us. This will reportedly turn us into a new world.
Some people argue that the 13 skulls will prevent the so called "end of the world" if they are reunited (I add this with a lot of skepticism as I do not believe the end of the world 2012 story) <3
I hope this made a few things regarding the origins of the skulls a little bit clearer for you,
Love and light,
