What should I do with her?

I was gifted with a real human skull today! While I rejoice to have such a powerful potential friend and ally, I am a tad nervous. I promised to treat her as if she was one of my own kin, with all the reverence and respect due to an ancestor, and am currently burning the best incense I have in her honor.
I will also offer her some of my supper when it's ready. Is this enough, or am I missing something which could make her happy? I have promised her that I will never use her in any ritual, nor will I try to master her soul.

The skull itself is rather old, I'd say 30-50 years old post-mortem, and somewhat damaged by the previous owner's children. She has a name, but whether or not it was really hers instead of one given to her, I do not know.
I have a Ouija board, but I have no desire to use it, as my neighbor committed suicide two days ago, and I do NOT want his spirit hanging around, as you may imagine.

So, any thoughts on what might be done to make my honored guest more comfortable?

I got the skull as a gift from a friend, who had aqquired it from a former medical student.
The student told him that the item in question had come from one who had left their body to science. More than that, I do not know, nor does he. She is currently in a place of honor in my home, and I already address her as "Grandmother". I had strange dreams last night, all unpleasant, but I don't think they come from her. I believe that they came only from my sub-conscious, which is kinda weirded-out by having a real skull in the house.
The one who gave her to me knew that I would take much better care of her than his relatives would, so now she's with me.

I had a half skeleton and a skull which I aquired through the medical students at a magor University I worked in years ago. In fact one skull I found in the rubbish bin the students discarded it when cleaning out the office. It was in good condition other than missing its top skull cap and few teeth so, I used it as a drinking chalice for black magick rituals.

I have since lost them through circumstances - maybe a curse from the dead ??? REAL Skeletons are legally attainable if you go through the right channels and pay a good price for such, a human skull alone can cost around $1000 dollars each - but honestly the ones from the illegal trade hunters are better for magickal work if you can source them.

From what I've been able to find, it is perfectly legal to keep a human skull... provided, of course, that you did not obtain the skull by dastardly and/or murderous means!LOL You may also want to check with your local authorities to see if you need a permit for your area.

I do think the key word here as with any skull it should be treated with respect!

Thanks for the info, that Unlimited site is amazing.
I have indeed re-considered the possible use of the term "Grandmother", but I only wanted to show respect for her. Things right now are rather hectic, so I doubt I will be seeing any time to truly sit down for a chat with her any time soon.
I am also fighting a nasty virus at the moment, so much of my attention is focused on getting rid of this insidious micrscopic beast. When things settle a bit, and I am at full strength again, I will be able to properly introduce myself.

Again, I am in your collective debt.
