Crow claw and howlite skull amulet necklace

Amulet necklace made with a claw from a dutch black crow, combined with a small, light blue howlite skull bead.

The skull as a symbol is known in a lot of traditions. It can be seen as a symbol of both life and death. So not just the western 'memento mori' meaning, but also the representation of infinite life, the ancestors and the clan which can be found in eastern philosophies. In (Tibetan) Buddhism the skull also stands as a symbol for the concept of emptiness as a quality of the universe; all events are basically neutral, it is only our human minds that attach meaning to them.  And in Tibetan culture the skull is also a symbol of protection from the Gods.

The Crow as a power animal teaches also about life and death. It knows how it is sometimes necessary to let something old die to make room for the new. The Crow teaches about transformation and the cycle of life, death and rebirth. How to strip away the old 'rotten flesh', no matter how painful sometimes, to come to the core and from there let a new life cycle start.

In this amulet necklace the symbolism of the skull and the Crow come together to support you in times of transformation.

Other items used in this amulet necklace are: silver colored metal wire and a silver colored choker-style necklace with screw-clasp.

A unique and of course also very decorative item to connect you with the spirit of Crow. Handmade by Chyltys Kam. Only one availabe.
