Obsidian is a stone formed by volcanic lava that didn’t have enough time to cool into glass.
The mystical properties of Obsidian date back to early civilisation, treasured for its reflective quality and ability to be polished into mirrors, seen as a metaphor for sacred caves and pools of water. To the Maya its was a conduit for supernatural forces, a means to communicate with otherworld entities, and to others it was a portal to other realms. In Mesoamerica (Mexico, Guatemala and surrounding regions), Obsidian was known as Iztli or Teotetl, meaning “the divine stone,” and was used for carving amulets, jewellery, grave ornaments. The Olmec people made concave mirrors capable of lighting fires. The Maya & Aztecs wore Obsidian mirrors to show elite status, and polished it into sheets for divining. Ancient Greek civilisation used Obsidian balls and flat mirrors for scrying, and Native American people used Obsidian in their spiritual ceremonies to sharpen inner sight.
Obsidian aids in protection, grounding, and communication with Spirit. With a powerful grounding energy, Obsidian enhances creative energy and the free flow of this aspect of being, in all areas of life. It is useful for expanding meditative consciousness and for activating intuition and untapped abilities. Obsidian brings mental clarity - dispelling confusion and constricting beliefs, and encouraging exploration of the unknown. Black Obsidian is a powerful psychic cleanser of negativity from the auric field and environment, whilst also providing psychic protection, sealing the aura and removing energetic attachments, hooks and cords. It blocks harmful intentions by providing a shield for the aura, and is an excellent shamanic tool for removing blockages and debris from the past. It is a stone of integrity and deep soul cleansing, anchoring the spirit into the body to stimulate growth on all levels.
