In occult and metaphysical circles, the skulls have magical and healing qualities: Anna Mitchell-Hedges (owner of a particularly famous skull) claimed that the skull could cause visions and cure cancer and that its magical properties could be used to kill.

Jamie Sams writes of the skulls' association with Native American mythology. In this book, best-selling occultist and crystal expert Judy Hall provides a basic primer on crystal skulls: What they are Where they are found Their role in legend and lore around the world Their uses for physical and psychic healing Also included here in this stunning introductory text is an examination of the prominent "skull keepers" of the past 100 years and how to use and communicate with a crystal skull.

Hall provides a solid primer for beginners interested in crystal lore, covering everything from pre-Columbian roots to museum legends. However, skeptics or those seeking rigorous archaeological critique will find little here; it embraces mystical claims uncritically. Readers expecting scientific analysis of provenance may feel misled by the focus on psychic channels rather than historical verification. It is best suited for spiritual enthusiasts who value esoteric tradition over empirical evidence. While engaging for its target audience, it lacks the depth required for advanced occultists or historians demanding academic rigor in their study of artifact origins.
