Skull Beaded Lanyards :: The Bead Bugs



We at The Bead Bugs never thought skull beads could be so very cute but this season's take on them changed our minds. Take a look at what we have created with these cute colorful beads for you to wear for fun any day of the year! Read below the picture of our skull beaded lanyards to find out a little more information about the meaning behind skulls and their impact on north American Culture.

Among many Europeans and North Americans of European descent, the skull now has less of a religious meaning than it does a "spooky" one. The frightening old European skull-and-crossbones -- used as a memento mori in European-style Freemasonry, and as the "Jolly Roger" flag of pirates -- has been tamed over the centuries. These days the skull is trotted out for display at Halloween -- along with jack-o-lantern pumpkins and black cats -- as a conventional symbol of mild and amusing fright. Every October, rambunctious children and their doting parents can be seen at discount stores and malls across the United States, shopping for miniature glow-in-the-dark skulls, decorative skull porch lights, and hard plastic skull-baskets in which to carry candy. read more about skulls at luckymojo.com.
