Uses Of Human Bones, Do you use them? How? Options

So on my blog I wrote down how I had ordered a human skull for a working that I'm doing, and Kinj said how he wanted someone to post a topic on the use of human bones, so, I guess that would be me. Does anyone here use human bones in their work? If so, how? I use ground up human bone in my goofer dust recipe, and I know other people try to contact the spirit of that certain bone in Necromancy. In Candomble I've seen skulls used to carry out curses. Bones are VERY potent in works that have to do with affecting the human body. Who else uses human bones, and how do you use them in your work?

A lot of cultures use sheep or camel knucklebones for divination. I don't know much beyond that, unfortunately.

There's a strain of African black magic that is essentially a form of necromancy. I forget exactly what it's called, but it's also practised a lot in Central and South America almost as an adjunct to Santeria, even though the two come from different sources. I want to say "Palo Mayombe" but I'm not sure if that's correct. Basically they select a human skeleton from a graveyard, place it in a casket filled with earth, and feed it. Then the spirit that was the original owner of the bones can act as a familiar/servitor.

I could be wrong, though, so don't quote me on this...
