Zodiac Stone: Libra, Scorpio & Capricorn
Obsidian is a protective stone that is said to bring clarity, wisdom, and manifestation. Obsidian's energy creates a protective shield that deflects negativity, balances energy fields and repels attempts of others to assert power over us. This Root chakra crystal helps us to uncover our unique skills and hidden talents whilst releasing blockages to our spiritual and personal growth. It eliminates any sense of ego or futility, releasing ego involvement. A great crystal to wear or keep close around the workspace and at home as it is said to absorb free-floating irritability. Obsidian tends to be a very personal stone and is generally bought, kept and worn by one person only.
Called the Wizard Stone, Obsidian has numerous magical associations. Highly polished Obsidian oracle mirrors were used by the Mayans and Aztecs, and are still popular in modern Westernized magic.
Obsidian's affirmation is: "My aura is clear and protected. I am filled with fire."
