The spiritual meaning of obsidian in different cultures

The Maya, Aztecs, and ancient peoples of Central America attributed special powers to obsidian. It was used as a mirror for self-knowledge, worn as a protective stone in rituals, and employed as a sharp tool and weapon. In shamanic traditions, it is still considered a gateway to the underworld and used for shadow work.

In esoteric practice, obsidian is considered a "mirror of the soul" – a stone that can bring suppressed emotions and hidden truths to light.
