Movies have done much to drive home the idea that these keys could open any door. And this is true of actual skeleton keys. Though they generally hold a similar shape in our collective unconscious, an actual skeleton key can be of any shape, including modern renditions of keys.That said, in magickal practices, the symbolism of a skeleton key exists in its ability to open all doors, allowing passage into those places that exist behind locked barriers. This is in reference, of course, to liminal spaces, and the spiritual realms of the unseen. Keys represent knowledge and access. And it’s important to note that they can both open doors and LOCK doors. Possessing a key is both about gaining access and setting boundaries. USES ON THE ALTAR: For divination, the passageway ‘in’.

In a modern romantic notion, a key necklace may symbolize “the key to my heart”. This is a love symbol much like the heart symbol. Keys have been used as a symbol of authority and power for ages in many societies and ceremonies around the world. Key Superstitions Earlier it was not uncommon that Jewish midwives would place a key in the hand of a woman giving birth. Preferably the key should be to a synagogue. The sacred key was meant to “unlock” the infant and ensure safe delivery of the baby. In Eastern Europe, there was a superstition that a key brought good dreams to the owner. The key had the power to prevent all bad dreams. To make this work a key was hung upside down on the wall over the bed. In Ionia, located in present-day Turkey, there was a tradition to bury the dead with an iron key. It was important the dead could unlock the door to the Underworld. Crossed Key Symbolism In Matthew 16:18-19 Jesus symbolically gives Peter the keys to heaven. It is these two verses in the Bible that are used to explain why Peter is considered the first Pope in the Catholic Church.“And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock, I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:18-19Legend has made Saint Peter the gatekeeper of heaven. His gold key represents his power to dissolve any sin and open the door to heaven and eternal life. His silver key represents his power to lockout unworthy souls from the gate of heaven. A newly consecrated Pope will receive two diagonally crossed keys in silver and gold. This emblem symbolizes supreme authority and the “Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven”. The crossed keys are shown in the coat of arms of the Holy See. The silver key represents the spiritual authority of the Pope. The gold key represents the power of heaven. The cord binds these two together. Janus – Roman God of the Gates and DoorsJanus is the two-faced Roman god of gates. He could look in both directions at the same time. All doors have an entrance and an exit. He was the gatekeeper.He could see the past as well as the future. Janus was the beginning and the end. He was wisdom. He could grant success and new opportunities.He is sometimes shown carrying keys in his left hand and his staff in his right hand.He was the god of new beginnings. The month of January is named after Janus. 。·:*:·ﾟ★,。·:*:·ﾟ☆ 。·:*:·ﾟ★,。·:*:·ﾟ☆ Love Key SpellAnoint a key and lock with Open Road & Come to Me Oils.
