Obsidian

Obsidian is volcanic glass formed from rapidly cooled lava, found in Mexico, Iceland, and the American Southwest. In ancient Mesoamerican magic, it was sacred to deities of the underworld and used for mirrors, blades, and scrying. Witch-wise, it is the ultimate shadow, truth, and protection stone.

Obsidian is associated with:

  • Psychic protection: Shields against attack and intrusion.

  • Shadow work: Reveals hidden fears and suppressed truths.

  • Cord cutting: Helps sever unhealthy attachments.

  • Truth-seeing: Exposes illusion and self-deception.

How to Use Obsidian

  • Gaze into it during scrying or deep self-reflection.

  • Use in banishing and cord-cutting rituals.

  • Place near doorways or mirrors for protective warding.

The Vibe

Obsidian feels like a black mirror into the soul. Powerful, honest, unflinching.
