Obsidian, Black

A very powerful & creative stone, Black Obsidian grounds the soul & spiritual forces into the physical plane. It forces facing one’s true self, brings up imbalances & shadow qualities for release & magnifies all negative energies so that they can be fully experienced & then released. This healing affects past lives. Very protective, it repels negativity & disperses unloving thoughts. Black Obsidian is powerful for meditation & enables the gift of prophecy, but only when used by those who can consciously process it & use it for the greater good. Clear Quartz can be used with it for grounding & articulating what is revealed. (From “The Crystal Bible” by Judy Hall)

Black Obsidian brings repressed or denied parts of oneself to the surface of one’s awareness so they can be healed, reintegrated or released. It shields you from witchcraft, psychic attack & harmful entities. It is excellent for work on the shadow self. (From “Change Your Energy” by Krista N. Mitchell)
