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?

Hello. Depending upon the working, it is not a good idea to use just any old bone let alone skull of a deceased person. Most real Necromancers and Nigromancers tend to use bones of people they know the names of. That way you can be safe from the angry Spirit of the deceased from coming back onto you.

There are deserte cemeteries where you can find a name marker and then dig up to your heart's content. Make sure you wash and cleanse the skull before using it and if you plan on keeping it, you should have a ceremony performed over it to ensure that the owner of that skull is willing to work for you.

Powdered bone is excellent to work with however I only buy mine from a bonafide Palero that I happen to know personally. I don't trust the stuff you find in botanicas any more than I trust them to give me real Graveyard Dirt besides which like everything in the ATR, there are correct and incorrect procedures one has to perform to get such items.

Most of the crap you read online about getting dirt from graves is useless BS and can get you the enmity of a pisssed off Spirit. It's just some worthless 'Hoodoo lore' that is incomplete. It's far better to make the acqaintance of a real Palero/Palera or barring that one who practices Esperitisimo who would have need for said product. If we were in Europe, there are some old lodges there that are dedicatd to the art and practice of Necromancy that could accomodate in this area.

But generally bones bought from supply houses have very little ashe when compared to getting your own.

Have any of you uever used the remains of a person - as in cremated ashes - for any sorts of workings?

What about animal skulls and bones? Bears' claws? Shark's teeth? Dinosaur parts?

All the Best,
