Black Obsidian is one of the most important teachers of all the New Age Stones. It is associated with the first chakra. This energy center pertains to the earth, the physical, to survival, and to the personal ego fulfillment. Black Obsidian acts as a magnet that draws the spirit forces into the body to be governed by the conscious will for use in physical action. When these higher forces are grounded into the world of form it is possible to change the very quality of life on earth by infusing the material plane with more light force. When Black Obsidian is placed on the lower chakra points it draws the finer energies of the higher chakras into the primal centers to be used for ego refinement and purification.
Black Obsidian should only be used when one is educated about its powers and prepared to process the changes that this stone often relentlessly puts one through. Ruled by the planet Pluto, Black Obsidian’s purpose is to take the mind through the darkened areas of the subconscious to establish identity in the super-conscious. Being a Plutonian teacher, Black Obsidian does not cater to the ego. Instead, it bluntly and often tactlessly shows the ego-self where it is at and what it needs to change in order to advance to the next step of evolutionary growth. It acts as a mirror that reflects the flaws in one’s nature and magnifies the fears, insecurities and egocentric attitudes that suppress the soul’s superior qualities. Black Obsidian could be named “the warrior of truth”, that which slays the illusion to give birth to the vision of the Aquarian Age. In this new age each person will live in accordance to the dictates of their own higher consciousness and that unified consciousness will form the foundation and be the common denominator that links each person to the same truth.
Black Obsidian is a master teacher and has come to teach us the true meaning of the color black. Black, being the dense, the dark and the unknown, is the polar opposite to the color white, which is the seen, the lightened and the known. Each of these expressions are the exact opposite of the other, and being the soul-mates that they are, they allow the other to exist. Each of these colors has contained within it all other colors; both black and white can potentially contain the same degree of light. With black on one end of the color spectrum and white on the other, the entire panorama of color can come into existence and express the multi-faceted nature of each of these colors. Cradled in the arms of black and white, of day and night, of dark and light, life on earth was conceived, given birth to, and reared and is now ready to come to know that the seemingly opposite poles are in reality the same. The concepts of good and evil are but a trick played on the senses when these colors are seen as separate.
