Introduction To Kapala Skull Cup :

The skull cup, known as kapala in Sanskrit, is fashioned from the oval upper section of a human cranium. It serves as a libation vessel for many Vajrayana deities, primarily wrathful. As a ritual implement, selecting the right skull is essential for success. The skull of a murder or execution victim is believed to possess the most excellent tantric power; the skull of one who has died from a violent or accidental death or a virulent illness possesses a medium magical power; the skull of a person who died peacefully in old age has virtually no occult power. The skull of a child who died during puberty also has great potency, as do the skulls of miscegenation or misbegotten child of unknown paternity, born from the forbidden union of castes, out of wedlock, from sexual misdemeanour, or particularly from incest.

The 'misbegotten skull' of a seven or eight-year-old child born from an incestuous union is considered to possess the most incredible power in certain tantric rituals. Here the vital force or potential of the skull's 'previous owner' is embodied within the bone as a spirit, rendering it a practical power object for tantric rituals.
