The use of Obsidian throughout time
Throughout the ages, Obsidian has been used for tools, weapons and spiritual protection, as its sharp edges symbolize the ability to cut through the darkness and find the truth. For me, Obsidian represents a strong connection to the energy of the earth and a reminder to stand strong in one's own power.
"Obsidian is like a mirror-like surface that reflects both light and dark. It reminds us that truth and protection come from deep inner strength. When you work with Obsidian, you open the door to your own power and give yourself the courage to to stand strong in your light - no matter what challenges you face." – Zoey Adrianna
