Skull & Crossbones Symbolism: "A Symbol of Danger and Death – Due to the macabre origins of the symbol, it became associated with death. In the 1800s, it was adopted as an official symbol to identify poisonous substances and first appeared on poison bottles in 1850.A Symbol of Sacrifice – When used as an emblem in military uniforms, it denotes that one would always be willing to put their life at stake for the country or a greater purpose. The Totenkopf, a German word for death’s head, was represented in Nazi SS insignia. A Depiction of “Death or Glory” – By the mid-1700s, the symbol was regarded as respectable enough to be chosen as a British regimental emblem. The Royal Lancers are trained to fight enemies. Wearing the skull and crossbones badge represents its motto of “death or glory” in protecting their nation and its dependent territories. A Reflection on Mortality – In Masonic association, it reveals the mysteries about Masonic beliefs. As a symbol, it acknowledges the natural fear of death that they have, just like any human, but motivates them to accomplish their work and duty as Masons. The symbol can be seen at Masonic lodges in Chambers of Reflection, as well as in their initiation rituals and jewelry. Rebellion and Independence – In recent times, the symbol has come to represent rebellion, breaking out of the mold and being independent." - SymbolSage.com

Hematite: "Hematite is one of the most powerful grounding stones in the mineral kingdom, intended to root your body and mind back to Earth. This stone helps refocus your thoughts and actions into those that matter to you most while guiding you on the right path. It's a stone of attraction, much like that of a magnet. Hematite is constantly pulling down excess energy from your environment to help you use it in your best interests. Once your focus becomes anchored to the Earth, Hematite shows you that anything you desire is achievable. Rooting ourselves into the present moment seems to be a harder challenge each day. In the technological world that we are advancing in; it seems difficult for us to stay present within our thoughts. Constantly picking up our phone proves that our mind is looking to escape elsewhere. When connecting with Hematite we can strengthen our root chakra to keep our attention on the task at hand. Each day, take a moment to work with your Hematite to center your energies into the right frame of mind. If you find yourself matched with a high vibrational stone that you feel is too powerful at the moment (Phenacite, Moldavite, Grandidierite, etc) pair Hematite when working with your crystal to bring in strong grounding energies." - TheCrystalCouncil.com

Tiger Eye: "Tiger Eye helps one access their inner strength and channel it towards their personal needs and desires. This may come in the forms of creativity, drive, determination, and increased focus. This stone has been known to cause minor “obsessions” within people as it brings out the energetic side. Part of this is contributed to true, pure love being channeled from within our solar plexus chakra into something or someone we truly love. People may observe your actions to be different than what they are used to seeing and problems may arise. That is due in part to your blossoming change which may make others around you uncomfortable with their path in life. At this point, others may try to spearhead your campaign of self-betterment without even realizing the negative impact they are having. With Tiger Eye, we can envision not only our potential but our connections with others around us." - TheCrystalCouncil.com
