Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass. It is the stone of the fourth face of the goddess. If obsidian is well polished, it will be like a mirror. Its smooth, shiny surface will reflect everything around it. And if you look closely, you can see your face on its dark surface. This stone can show us what we try to hide: old wounds that are still aching, hidden fears, pain and resentments that poison life.
It’s impossible to pretend with it. Obsidian knows that the way to true power is to see the truth – even if it is not easy.
It’s as if it’s inviting: “Look at the real you. Without masks and excuses.” Let’s not pretend everything is okay.” It won’t comfort, but it won’t condemn either.
It is the stone of seeing the truth. It brings up what has been hidden. You might say it’s a pretty cruel stone. But it’s not really cruel, it’s a path to liberation.
Obsidian helps us realize that the pain we carry inside should not determine what our lives will be like. The pain must be lived and let go.
Obsidian is a stone for the brave. Working with obsidian is like meeting someone who knows all your secrets. You can’t hide from your shadow with it. It helps us understand why we get stuck, why we are afraid to move on, where old resentments are pulling us back. This stone teaches you to accept your vulnerability and not to be afraid of your weaknesses.
Who is obsidian a good fit for?
Obsidian is chosen by those who are ready for deep introspection. It helps to look at oneself without illusions, to see one’s true motives. It not only shows wounds, but also reminds us that seeing them is the first step to healing. It is a stone for those who are tired of hiding. Obsidian is a challenge. The stone is a mirror and everyone decides for themselves what to do with it on their own.
