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?

Oddly, some of African religion has ben veneered with Roman Catholicism. The priests have heart attacks all the time in S.America when they see their flock ocasionally giving tributes to Mary as "Iemenjar" so they can fit in with others. It's funny actually. As a kid I used to think "Hey, who the hell is that figure using a blue cape those guys are worshipping by throwing flower reefs into the sea? That's no mary!!". Lol ! Also odd that a white boy such as myself has more knowledge of Africa's old religions than most American blacks. Also, I'm actually interested alot in the "Quimbanda" facet of Candoble (two facets- Umbanda and Quimbanda) since my knowledge is superficial Umbanda at best. Quimbanda is regarded as the Satanism of Candomble and is very hard to find somebody who can teach you (though if you look in the right places plenty of Umbanda people, also Kardecists, ie: people who follow Allan Kardec's teachings but mixed with this African religion). Also, this is really interesting- just like in Babylon, Satan (Enki or exu- exus/orixas is a broad term for disembodied spirits which are presumed human or otherwise, exu means betrayer of his people to be specific though) is not a "bad guy" but more of somebody not on right terms with "the lord" (here Oxala which unfortunately has become correlated with Jehovah and or Jesus Christ). He is said to speak with his followers as a handsome man who loves cigars, fine wines, and women (!)
