Bones were used to produce Magical implements and were carved with symbols and even Ogham were carved upon bones to enhance their effect. Stone is the foundation of a house just as the bones are the foundation of the body. The Flesh is the part of the body that connects to the structure of the bones and provides us with a shape or form. The flesh is what moves us and empowers us. The flesh of a bull was offered and consumed to facilitate the visions of the Tarbh Feis.
Earth is the Cosmic analog of flesh.
It is the Land that supports our being and it is upon Her surface that we labor. Flesh is the main laborer of the Cauldron of Vocation. The skin is the largest sensory organ that we possess. It is reactive to touch, heat, cold, pain and pleasure. The skin is one way in which we become aware of ourselves, our boundaries and our surroundings.
