Obsidian

Obsidian
Energy: Projective
Planet: Saturn
Element: Fire
Deity: Tezcatlipoca (Aztec, "Smoking Mirror" or "Shining Mirror")
Powers: Protection, Grounding, Divination, Peace
Magical/Ritual Lore: Obsidian is simply lava that cooled so fast that the minerals contained within didn't have time to form. It is naturally occuring glass.

The ancient Aztecs fashioned flat, square mirrors of this black glass for use in divination. According to legend the famous Dr. Dee, a magician-alchemist hired by England's Queen Elizabeth I, may have used one of these mirrors in his scrying sessions.

It was popular material for fashioning stone knives, spear points and arrowheads, and when used for these purposes, it it often known as "flint." Such arrowheads have magical properties.

Magical Uses: Obsidian is a grounding, centering stone. Hold it in your hands or place your bare feet on two small, polished pieces when you're flighty or can't seem to get your physical life in order. Remember the physical is the path to the spiritual. Each is a reflection of the other.

Obsidian is effective when carried or used in protective rituals. One involves surrounding a white candle with four obsidian arrow-heads that each point to one of the directions. This sets up aggressive energies which guard the place in which it is set up.

Spheres of obsidian, still fashioned in Mexico, are fine scrying tools. If you don't have good results scrying with quartz crystal, try a piece or sphere of obsidian. For some, the blackness of the stone allows easier access to the subconscious mind.

Ten Indian Commandments

Garnet

Energy: Projective
Planet: Mars
Element: Fire
Powers: Healing, Protection, Strength
Magical/Ritual Lore: In the 13th century garnets were worn to repel insects.
Magical Uses: The garnet, a fiery red stone, is worn to enhance bodily strength, endurance and vigor. It is worn or used in magic to tap extra energy for ritual purposes. Wear or carry one when exerting yourself (hiking a mountain, studying until dawn, heavy ritual workings, and so on).

Because it is a projective stone, the garnet is worn for protective purposes. Five hundred years ago it was thought to drive off demons and night phantoms. Today the garnet, in common with many other protective stones, is seen to strengthen the aura and to create a shield of highly charged positive vibrations which repels negative energies upon contact. Say you're wearing a garnet at night and have visualized it protecting you. A would-be mugger, for example, might suddenly decide to let you pass by, "spooked" by the "bad vibes" you are releasing. Garnets are particularly prescribed as protection against thieves.

In the Middle Ages a figure of a lion was carved onto a garnet and carried to guard the health, especially while traveling.

A healing stone, garnet is used to relieve skin conditions, especially inflammations. It also regulates the heart and blood.

In the past garnets were exchanged between parting friends to symbolize their affection and to magically ensure that they met again.
