★ Metaphysical Properties: Black Obsidian is an excellent grounding stone and provides for a connection from the base of your spine to the heart of the Earth. It's an excellent shield against negativity and is used for protection. Black Obsidian is a catalyst for connecting deeper within yourself and accepting and embracing everything you are, your whole self. It is very nurturing and in periods of intense change and transformation it helps you to relieve worry, anxiety, fear and negativity. It is also a strong polarizer and grounder of spiritual energy. Carry Black Obsidian to keep yourself grounded and to protect you from others' energies. It's a stone of great depth for those willing to go within. Black Obsidian facilitates your journey inward and guides you. Obsidians are not subtle, however! They get to the point and they fly direct! They help you to get back on track or start up again when you get stuck and need to move on, but can't seem to. It is quick to point out where you are holding back, need to grow, and are in denial. It's a powerful tool for personal growth, to be used consciously for speedy evolution. Black Obsidian is often used as a scrying stone, as it polishes to a beautiful, mirror-like surface with the depth of infinite space!

★ Crystal Skulls:
The skull is a powerful image. It is one which corresponds with our deepest human emotions, hopes, and dreams. Providing a pathway to the inner soul. The rendering of the human skull in stone is a representation of the inner self. It is a powerful tool when used for healing and self discovery; one which acts to open the gateways to enlightenment.

Working with crystal skulls can help us to re-connect with our higher selves; they also work to deepen the dream state and widen the scope of memory upon waking. Many caretakers find that just by having a crystal skull, many new insights are realized, and many new doors are opened. (source: unknown)

Because of their very nature as crystals, crystal skulls amplify and anchor energy. Being a crystal cut and shaped into the form of the human skull, however, adds a wholly new set of dynamics! No longer is the mineral in its original form, it has a completely new geometry. Now the crystal can communicate through a more humanized medium. As Edgar Cayce said, "The human skull represented the perfectly designed structure through which consciousness comes into this world, and through which consciousness reaches into other worlds."
