Obsidian is a rhyolitic volcanic glass - essentially frozen magma - cooled so quickly no crystals had time to develop.
It is unique in the world of stones, as well as in the world of mythology and ancient mystery schools.
Working with the subconscious mind and the intelligent Earth system, the power of Obsidian as a tool for spiritual evolution and expanded awareness has been known for thousands of years - a technology that is now re-emerging to help us find balance again on the planet.

Encapsulated fire energy that retains the energetic and physical imprints of inner Earth, it brings the frequency of transmutation and creation to assist in healing and shifting our inner and outer realities.
Obsidian is known for the multidimensional way it alchemizes the dark mysteries of our soul, grounding us into our truth. It brings the shadow to light, parts back to wholeness, and provides protection through underworld journeys to reclaim sovereignty. It awakens our inner warrior, bestows us with courage, and helps us clear our negative patterns.
This transformation is achieved by working with the realm of the Dark to release and 'erupt' the subconscious from the realm of the shadow. The Dark is the frequency inhabited by Obsidian, a liminal and timeless space of the infinite Womb, a place of all beginnings, where death and birth are two sides of the same coin.
Unlike the pure potential of the dark, the shadow is made from the rejected, the lost and unmoored, the unseen and wounded parts that keep us feeling small, unworthy, and not enough. As long as we live from these shadows, we remain trapped, stuck, and ‘dismembered’. Obsidian is a mirror for the inner self.
Cultivating a relationship with Obsidian empowers us to claim our fullest expression of being and take radical responsibility for our lives. In voyaging the path of Dark – looking within and excavating both the personal and ancestral stories and memories stored within our bodies – we are given the opportunity to re-member ourselves with authenticity and deep truth.
