The energy of obsidian is protective, guarding, and secure. It reminds us to protect ourselves against the harsh words or actions of others or from the stresses and strains of life. It's good to have around in a working environment where there may be stress. It can also be used as a tool to aid grounding and for uniting body and spirit, bringing them into harmony and focus. Obsidian cuts through all that is superfluous and brings us back to the truth of how we are and how the world around us truly is. It may promote deep soul healing and also help connect with past lives.
The ancient peoples of the British Isles created old stone arrowheads (often of flint) and used them to frighten away maleficent energies and to direct power. The arrowheads were called elf darts and were also believed to carry earth energies, strength, skill, and cleverness.
