(₩) Hi, @dedrena-dree here I'm writing from Felix's blog cause apparently you can't send asks from sideblogs(???) I wanted to ask you if you could tell me the spiritual meanings and symbolism of obsidian if you know them Obsidian is my favourite stone and I thought it'd be interesting to ask! (₩)
hmm okay! i don’t use obsidian a lot, but off the top of my head i know that it’s a very powerful protective stone, known for absorbing negative energy--to clear the air, so to speak. i would also assume it reflects any malicious energy directed toward you, being made of volcanic glass, but i can’t remember if there’s lore to back this up. also, people often use obsidian surfaces to scry with, as the dark but reflective surface allows some to perceive divinatory images.
here’s a link to my favorite website for the metaphysical properties of crystals! their page on obsidian could probably tell you more than me, lol
