The Meaning Behind Obsidian

Formed from rapidly cooled volcanic lava, Obsidian is a natural glass born of earth’s fire. Its dark, reflective surface has long been used for scrying, shadow work, and energetic shielding. Obsidian doesn’t whisper—it reveals.

Obsidian is a symbol of:

  • Protection and energetic boundaries

  • Shadow work and deep truth

  • Release, rebirth, and clarity

In spiritual and energetic traditions, Obsidian is revered as a fierce guardian. It doesn’t just absorb negative energy—it shatters illusions and helps you see clearly, even when the truth is uncomfortable.

“You are allowed to let go. You are allowed to see the truth. You are allowed to stand strong in your own light.”
