Black Obsidian.
Black Obsidian is a Warrior Stone said to bring protection on all levels. I have always experienced this powerful stone as a force to reckoned with, supporting me when I have needed to stand my ground and keep my thoughts words and actions in alignment with my core inner values.
Obsidian is also known as a mirror of the soul, and is used for shamanic journeying and will protect us as we journey into the shadows of our unconscious, helping us to see through the dark and to rediscover clarity and the light within the deepening layers of our personal awareness, guiding us to the answers we seek in order to discover new and clear direction.
When I am wanting to meditate into some form of journeying, seeking answers within, then Obsidian is my companion every time!
