HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

  • Obsidian in Ancient Cultures: A Symbol of Protection

    Obsidian has long been revered for its protective qualities in ancient cultures, often used in carvings and statues to symbolize safety and peace for nations, families, or individuals. In ancient Egypt, obsidian was crafted into statues, jewelry, and amulets. Its deep black color was believed to hold strong protective powers and mystical energy, capable of warding off evil spirits and negative energy. In ancient China, obsidian was used to create statues of mythical creatures, believed to protect homes and individuals from evil and misfortune.

  • Tears of the Mountain God

    In Japan, obsidian is known as "Kuroyoseki" and regarded as a sacred stone. According to Japanese mythology, it is linked to Konohana Sakuya Hime, the goddess who watches over Mount Fuji. Obsidian can be found near the mountain, and people believed it was formed from the tears of the mountain goddess. These compassionate tears crystallized into obsidian, imbuing it with protective and healing energies.

    A similar legend exists across the world in Hawaii, where obsidian is called "Pele's tears." It is said to be formed from the tears of the volcano goddess Pele, representing her connection to volcanic power and protection.

  • The Mirror That Sees Through Reality

    In Aztec culture, obsidian was closely associated with the fire god Tezcatlipoca, whose name means "Smoking Mirror." Tezcatlipoca was said to use a mirror made of obsidian to observe the world, and in this culture, reflections in obsidian were thought to provide insights into the future and reveal hidden truths. Obsidian, being one of the few materials that could effectively reflect light in ancient times, was often used to make mirrors. Across various civilizations, these obsidian mirrors were believed to reflect not just one's appearance but also deeper truths, offering a way to meditate on and understand one’s true self.
