SKULL – the change
the first thing you think when you see a skull is: DEATH
but there is much much more hidden in the symbolism of the skull….
THE SKULL is an element linked to change
yes it’s true, also death is a change and it is also the first thing that the primordial brain thinks about
help, alert, death, danger, go away
it’s true, one of the meanings of the skull is also related to death, maybe a dangerous death
but this is definitely not the main meaning
in fact, in the tarot card there is the DEATH card, but it doesn’t absolutely mean that every time it comes out, there’s someone who dies!
oh no no
it means that a change is coming, an important and definitive change,
from which you can no longer go back
like death, after all
but also marriage
or the birth of a child
or the arrival of a dog in the family
or the taking out of a loan for you first house ahahahahaha
or your dismissal, that you really wanted to find the courage to request
or the end of an addiction
or the beginning of a new life abroad
or the beginning of a new love
or a new dream
a change is not necessarily negative, indeed
even the skulls are not all the same, you can choose so many variables to customize it and make it more similar to the meaning you want to achieve!!!
softer lines or harder strokes, larger contours or subtle details, realistic or cartoon, in color or black and white scale, alone or in company, in the foreground or hidden in the background…. every detail changes the mood of the design
finally, let’s not forget that the skull is a fundamental part of the human body
it talks about skeleton and medicine
the skull is the container of the brain, our most precious organ, the only irreplaceable and as Hamlet teaches us, the mere holding of a skull gives us the sense of wisdom and great truths in our hands
with love, but always irreverent
