Who Are Truly Suited for Bone Artifacts?

In the previous article, we briefly touched on some taboos surrounding bone ornaments and their basic energetic principles. I repeatedly emphasized that bone artifacts are not suitable for the general public. They are not meant for just anyone to wear—doing so can actually lead to very negative consequences.

However, that being said, there are indeed a small number of individuals who are suited for specific types of bone artifacts. Since this topic is quite extensive, I plan to cover it in two parts. In today's article, we'll focus on who these artifacts are suitable for and the specific effects they may bring.

Cow Bone

Let's start with cow bone—probably the most popular and commonly seen material among collectors and enthusiasts. Many people love to handle cow bone pieces casually, hoping to achieve a jade-like polish over time. But honestly, getting that result can take seven or eight years at minimum—and even then, it’s not easy.

As I mentioned earlier, different animal bones carry different symbolic meanings. Cow bone symbolizes courage and bravery. It is best suited for individuals who are indecisive, timid, or have a relatively weak constitution—regardless of gender.

Of course, simply being "mild-mannered" doesn't automatically qualify someone to wear it. A person must truly have reached a certain energetic or fate-related threshold to benefit.

For example, take the historical figure Yuan Shao—known for being indecisive. If he had worn cow bone, maybe history would have turned out differently... but that’s just a joke.

For ordinary people, or those who are simply a bit timid or impulsive, wearing cow bone can actually make things worse. Impulsive individuals might become even more reckless, leading to all kinds of misfortune.

Rabbit Bone

The rabbit represents agility and caution—and is naturally a timid animal. Its symbolism is very delicate.

If someone is overly aggressive or impulsive, wearing rabbit bone could help moderate their temperament. But rabbit bone mainly suits two types of people:

1. Scholars or civil servants in ancient terms—those who write, record history, or work with documents.

2. Certain women—particularly those born with fragile constitutions, prone to illness, and who lead physically demanding, nomadic lifestyles.

Again, I must stress: not everyone who seems to fit these conditions should wear it. Only when a person reaches a serious threshold of imbalance should rabbit bone even be considered.

Rooster Bone

Rooster bone is relatively rare and primarily symbolizes protection against evil.

Without delving too deep (as this borders on insider knowledge), I can share that it is suitable for:

• Children who frequently "see things" beyond this world.

• Individuals naturally prone to attracting malevolent entities.

• Practitioners within spiritual or mystical professions (e.g., Taoists, shamans).

Technically, it's more "used" than "worn" by these individuals. I'll leave it at that—you know what I mean.

Ivory

Ivory is deeply tied to Buddhist symbolism, with many legends involving the Buddha riding a white elephant.

Today, elephants are endangered and protected, so nearly all ivory on the market comes from old, illegally poached stock.

Importantly, ivory is not typically worn. Instead, it’s used for household placement—especially among the very wealthy or those with underworld ties. Often, these individuals seek spiritual protection to purify a troubled conscience.

Indeed, ivory is believed to help cleanse the heart and invoke a sense of Buddhist virtue—but again, this realm lies far from everyday experience.

Black Dog Teeth and Wolf Teeth

Both are often said to ward off evil and enhance bravery.

Nowadays, many people think it’s trendy or protective to wear black dog teeth or wolf teeth. However, this is actually a misunderstanding.

In truth, these items are only suited for those with powerful destinies—people akin to ancient warriors or heroes.

Typically, those involved in organized crime, or dangerous trades requiring personal protection, might benefit.

For ordinary people without a strong fate, wearing them can invite serious misfortune. Simply put: unless you're naturally fierce by destiny, best not to mess with them.

Camel Bone

Camel bone has strong ethnic and regional significance, particularly among minority groups in western China, such as Tibetans and Uyghurs.

In these cultures, camels symbolize good fortune, peace, and divine blessing. Camel bone is believed to ensure health and safety, especially for travelers and nomads.

Thus, camel bone suits herders, long-distance drivers, and others who are constantly on the move.

Deer Bone

Deer bone has a broader historical reach. In ancient times, it symbolized authority, growth, and nurturing.

Traditionally, tribal leaders or high-ranking figures wore deer bone. In modern terms, it is best suited for individuals who are highly respected within their circles—those whose reputation commands widespread deference.

Additionally, practitioners of traditional medicine, arts, and cultural preservation often favor deer bone.

It’s also beneficial for people facing unusual chronic illnesses or those with naturally short life expectancies, as it can help regulate their life force energy.

Snake Bone

Snake bone has only gained popularity in recent years.

Historically, it was never meant for general use. In ancient times, it was worn primarily by shamans, witches, sorcerers, and practitioners of dark arts.

Snakes generally carry negative connotations across various religious systems, so snake bone was historically associated with esoteric practices rather than mainstream spirituality.

Nowadays, however, snake bone has been heavily commercialized, often marketed as fashionable jewelry for women. Frankly, it's quite amusing to see.

Human Bone and Kapala

Yes, you heard right—human bone, specifically referring to Kapala bowls made from human skulls in Tibetan culture.

In Tibet, using the bones of deceased high lamas to create sacred artifacts is normal and deeply revered. Such objects are believed to hold tremendous spiritual power—blessed almost beyond comprehension.

However, outside Tibetan Buddhism, it’s very rare—and even somewhat taboo.

There are niche groups fascinated by this—often associated with gothic or dark subcultures—who treat human bone ornaments as symbols of spiritual energy and belief.

Still, for ordinary people, wearing such items is highly discouraged. If you insist... well, just make sure to invite me to the banquet when the consequences unfold.
