The Myth:

The myth of the origin of onyx says that the goddess Venus was resting on the banks of the Indus River. As she slept, Cupid used the point of one of his enchanted arrows to give her a manicure. The parings of her nails then fell into the waters of the sacred river. Since the nails were of heavenly origin, they sank to the river bottom and were metamorphosed into onyx.

In Ancient Times:

Onyx is a protective stone worn when facing adversaries in battles of conflicts of all kinds, or while hurrying down a dark street late at night. In classical ceremonial magic, the image of the head of the god Mars or a figure of the hero Hercules was engraved on onyx and carried for courage. Indians and Persians believed that wearing onyx protected them from the evil eye, and that placing onyx on the stomach of a pregnant woman in labor would reduce the labor pain and bring on earlier delivery.

Effects:

Onyx is not only used for protection, but also as defense against negativity consciously directed towards you. It has also been used to reduce uncontrollable sexual impulses. The close union and yet strong contrast between the layers of black and white in some varities of onyx may suggest its connection with romance. In India, Gemologists recommend Onyx as a protective measure for harmonious relationships, thus keeping away any probability of disturbances or differences between the couple. Onyx as a birthstone provides the structure and authority you crave. It can help you be the master of your destiny and strengthen your confidence. It provides support in difficult times and centers your energy in times of mental or physical stress. It also offers the gift of wise decisions.

Mystical Power of Onyx (general):

Throughout history, onyx has been thought to bring powers of protection, defensive magic, and the reduction of sexual desires. It has also been thought to reinforce the knowledge that there is no death, aiding in the understanding of the wheel of birth, death and rebirth. It brings about the knowledge that separation is an illusion and reunion will come. It aids psychic contact with those who have died, facilitates séances and mediumship, brings messages from the dead, and aids past-life and between-lives regression work. It helps future life progressions, and prevents and removes spirit possessions.

Contemporary authors say the onyx brings increased vigor, strength, stamina, and self control. It alleviates worry, tension, and nervousness and eliminates confusion and nightmares. It is used to provide glimpses of that which is ‘beyond’ and activates one’s memory of one’s roots and reality. Medicinal applications include the treatment of bone marrow diseases, teeth, foot, blood and bone problems, and soft tissue disorders. It is also believed to aid in ailments such as epilepsy or glaucoma and is known to have powers to rectify damage done to cells.

Mystical Power of the Black Onyx (specific):

The Black Onyx seems like a gift from the gods to us…  it can help you live a more fulfilling life!

The Onyx is a type of chalcedony that’s part of the quartz family. It was a popular stone for the Greeks. They believed that the Onyx stone came from the fingernails of the Goddess Venus.

It is a powerful stone with plenty of positive attributes. First, it is a grounding and centering stone. It will balance you mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. Second, it is a strengthening stone that will assist you in tasks where you feel challenged and weak. Third, it will ease your fears where they are the strongest. Fourth, it will banish negativity. Fifth, it will rejuvenate you when you have run out of energy. Finally, it will attract positive energy and bring you happiness.

When you wear a Black Onyx Bracelet, it will inspire self-control, confidence, fidelity to your partner. It enhances your meditation and dreams. It will give you confidence in your career, like in interviews and presentations. The Black Onyx will work according to your heart’s desire.

The Black Onyx is also believed to have healing powers and to heal teeth, bones, feet, and blood disorders. Place it on your body and feel the healing take place. Use the Black Onyx to charge water to treat skin ailments like fungal infections and sunburns, and also wounds and rashes. Just pat it on the affected area and use an Onyx water compress at night.

Here’s just some of the benefits you will get, when having the Black Onyx near you:

• Self Control
• Confidence
• Mental strength
• Protection from negativity
• A feeling of being grounded

If you use Hecate’s Eye constantly for chanting, protection and enhancements; or feel that your energies are constantly under attack… then, every week, you should discharge the Onyx by placing it under running water.

If you’ve used it for a long time without doing so, bury it in the earth overnight at least once a month to regenerate its energies (preferably inside a sealed wooden box and on dry days).

To conclude: wearing Hecate's Eye, placing it on your altar, or using it during rituals allows you access to all the benefits that have been mentioned here.

The Black Onyx is one of Nature’s gifts to us, showing us that all we ever need is already here on earth and provided for.

How do you know that it’s malachite and not something else? You don’t have to be an expert to know, because the stone’s beautiful and rich green color will tell you that it is.

Did you know that malachite has been around for thousands of years, dating as far back as 3000 B.C. in ancient Egypt? Egyptians used malachite as talismans because of their protective powers.

It’s found in many countries and considered to be quite common. Malachite can be mined in the USA, Chile, South Africa, Australia, Romania, Russia, Zaire, and the Congo.

The name is derived from the Greek word ‘malakos’, meaning soft. But there’s nothing soft or weak about this stone that is also known as the mirror of the soul!

Why Would You Use Malachite?

You may be thinking that you don’t need malachite in your life, but you can greatly benefit from the energies that this stone can bring. In case you didn’t know it yet, malachite is also known as the Stone of Transformation.

It will help you heal on a physical and emotional level, removing anything that’s making you feel weak or toxic. By removing all the impure energies in your life, you are also stimulating the positive life force in your body and your aura.

Malachite symbolizes the healing green of the nature around you. It will open your eyes to the beauty of the world and make you more aware of how you can use everything that surrounds you to make yourself better, happier, and more at peace.

What’s more, malachite is known to have great visionary powers that can effectively ward off negative events from happening. It can keep you safe and protect you against accidents.

Malachite is also a stone of travel. It’s great to carry with you when you have a fear of flying.

This stone will also help you overcome your fear of heights. It will help give you smooth travels. It also works great with jet lag or for keeping you calm during bad traffic jams, delayed flights, or stormy seas.

How Will Malachite Help You?

Malachite and Health

The malachite is famous for its healing energies. It can help boost your immune system so that you don’t fall sick easily, even when you’re in a room full of people with a bad cold.

When you’re experiencing irregular menstruation, having malachite close to you all the time can help regulate your period and fix your monthly cycle. This will also aid in your efforts to be pregnant or become more fertile.

If you’re suffering from painful menstrual periods, malachite can also help ease the painful symptoms. It can make your PMS go away, menstrual cramps, bloating, irritability, high emotions and all. It will help you not feel like a fragile little thing with an appetite of a horse every single month!

Did you know that malachite is also called The Midwife Stone? Midwives use it to ease labor pains and to protect both mom and baby during child birth. If you have any concern with anything related to the female organ, the malachite is your go-to stone.

Malachite also works well in lowering your blood pressure. It’s good to have it with you when you have heart problems, or if you’re suffering from asthma, rheumatic pains, or intestinal problems.

Healers also use malachite to ease the trembling associated with Parkinson’s disease. If you have vertigo or are prone to suffer travel sickness, it will be a great idea to have malachite in your pocket or inside your purse whenever you go out.

It’s also effective in healing tumors, fractures, or swollen joints and muscles. When you’re feeling muscle aches or strains after a long day at work, running this stone though the part that aches can make you feel a whole lot better.

Malachite can also help your liver release toxins from your body. It’s a stone that uses wood energy, which symbolizes good health and nourishment. When you have malachite in your possession, it will boost your vitality and encourage your body to grow well physically.

Malachite and Wealth

Malachite is a growth crystal that is a potent aid in growth, development, creation, or renewal. When you hit that point in your life where you feel that nothing exciting is happening, or that nothing seems to be working, the energies that you can get from malachite will help you get out of this slump.

It’s the stone of good fortune, so the wearer of this stone will attract all things good when it comes to money, wealth, and opportunities. It symbolizes abundance, expansion, and new beginnings.

When you find yourself in a tough spot and finding it difficult to make ends meet, malachite can help you see new ways to improve your situation and spot new opportunities to remedy your situation.

The green in malachite is a good talisman for new business ventures and for keeping your projects on course and on schedule. It’s also a reassurance that no matter how busy or crazy your life becomes, your life will always be on track.

Malachite energy will give you the strength and wisdom in your professional pursuits. It will promote practicality as well as loyalty in your business partnerships.

Malachite, Love and Relationships

When it comes to love and relationships, malachite acts as a protection stone that absorbs negative energies and pollutants around you. It helps you release all unwanted feelings that can harm you and your relationship.

Malachite is dedicated to your heart chakra. If you want to know where the heart chakra is, it’s right in the center of your breastbone.

This stone will give you a clearer idea on what you should be embracing when it comes to love and life. It will give you a better understanding on the things or the people that you should be avoiding as well.

When the heart chakra is out of balance, there’s a feeling of being out of balance with your emotions, your way of thinking, your way of dealing with people, and your way of handling your relationships.

You will realize that your patience is extra short, that you are easily irritated and snappish, and that you are more open to quarrels and disagreements.

The green energy that the malachite gives will help you regain the balance of your heart chakra. It will help you realize and understand your needs, your wants, and your own emotions.

You will have a better understanding of how to deal with your emotions when it comes to that person you love, your relationship with that person, and the direction that your relationship is heading. You will be more accepting of the changes with an open heart and have a more positive outlook.

Malachite promotes change. If you are ready to leave the past behind and move forward to something better, this stone will give you the courage and strength to do it.

It will give you the emotional healing that you need to finally free yourself from the trauma and negative experiences of the past. It will open your eyes to what’s preventing you from achieving emotional or spiritual growth.

If you have always been scared or cautious about love, malachite will encourage you to be more of a risk taker. It will give you the courage to sever unwanted or unhealthy ties with people who are no longer good for you.

A malachite stone will also change your old patterns, habits, and behaviors. It will draw out your deep-seated feelings and their psychosomatic causes.

You may think that it’s just a stone, but its healing energies will help you deal with depression and anxiety caused by problematic or bad relationships. It will help you overcome your fears and make you confront the problem more bravely.

It will encourage you to voice out your feelings and resist any form of emotional blackmail. By doing so, you will also be freeing yourself from any kind of emotional abuse.

Malachite is a good stone to have because it will remove any trace of shyness. This will work especially well for you when you want to strike up a conversation with that guy you like and just set the wheels in motion.

It will promote healthy and happy relationships that are based on love, not just lust or need. When you have malachite with you all the time, you will have a stronger sense of friendship and passion for that person you love.

Malachite will help you gain a better sense of responsibility for your own thoughts and actions. There will be more faithfulness in your relationship, and you will finally stop feeling small and insignificant in your relationship.

How to Use Malachite for the Best Results

The malachite stone is one of the most beautiful stones you will ever see, so it’s really no surprise that it’s often used for jewelry. When malachite is placed very close to the body, it can harness your personal energy field!

If something has been tormenting you and causing you sleepless nights, you can speak your fears and worries out loud to your malachite stone while holding it in your hands.

Then place the malachite in a sheltered and secured place outside your house overnight to allow it to take away whatever is troubling you.

Put malachite in the east or southeast area of your house or your room so that you can also benefit from the prosperity and abundance that this stone is known to bring. If placed in the stagnant area of your workplace or your home, you can activate and open the flow of the positive energies in that space.

It’s best to put malachite stone beside appliances and gadgets to help protect you from their harmful rays. Put it next to your computer to keep your energy levels up all throughout the day, and to ward off emails or messages that bring bad news (combine it with our orgonite “Towerbuster” and you are fully protected)!

OBSIDIAN

THE MIRROR

SELF-REFLECTION • PROTECTION • GROWTH

If you find yourself drawn to the Obsidian crystal stone and its intense, mysterious vibes, it could be a sign that you're in need of a deep psychic cleanse. Known as the "psychic vacuum cleaner," the Obsidian crystal is your spiritual maid service, working hard to clean up the emotional wreckage and debris from the past. A bodyguard to your soul, the Obsidian crystal stone also protects you from shadow traits -- addiction, fear, anxiety, and anger-- by acting as a mirror to your inner self.

Obsidian Meaning

The deep and dark mirror-like surface running along and through these shiny black stones has long hinted at a cabal of concealed metaphysical properties.

In ancient times, tribal elders, the shaman of their time, used the ebony crystals as scrying mirrors, and there was more to come as those tribal elders experienced the darkness drawing attributes of Obsidian.

Obsidian breaks easily, which means the crystals can quickly be made into jewelry. Due to that material trait, the stones have been used as bracelet and necklace accents.

Then, for more practical occasions, the glass was turned into arrowheads, dagger blades, and all manner of sharp-edged cutting tools.

While it’s true the dark volcanic glass was used in many prosaic applications, it’s the mysterious reflective qualities of the vitreous silica that have made it a sought after stone.

The dark, glossy surface endows the crystal with an esoteric quality, a black mirror look that hints at wisdom and promises of exposed truths.

Possess obsidian and expose those inner truths. Expose reality, uncover deeply seated emotions, and dismiss the illusions that cloud a healthy spiritual essence, for this ebony crystal is a powerful soul healer.

But remember, not all newly illuminated secrets are friendly, nor can they always be accepted, at least not at first.

Indeed, the dark glass exposes weaknesses and flaws, imperfections and unpleasant shortcomings, but that’s so that the bearer can overcome these failings and grow.

Having grown spiritually, the negative self fades, it loses control, and new positive virtues are allowed to find room and flourish. Like the clearing of dark, choking weeds, the exposed flaws wilt while positive feelings are rekindled.

Obsidian Properties

Viewed by many as a mirror stone, the black, glossy crystal possesses a talent for revealing difficult truths.

Just as those potentially bitter pills are exposed, the stone alleviates the impact and helps the owner to accept reality, to move forward and to remove the dark influences that could emotionally or spiritually stunt a troubled individual.

With this in mind, obsidian has cathartic properties. It cleanses the soul and scoops out negativity. It’s a crystal of truth, of introspection, of grounding, and of deep spiritual healing.

Kept as a pendant or some other attractive piece of jewelry, the ebony glass continues to work its arcane charm. Wear it as a shield, as a psychic barrier when dark feelings and depressive episodes become intrusive.

Obsidian Healing Properties

Life is an adventure hard to navigate. People lose track of their goals and can’t remember their core values, so they’re cast adrift in a miasma of never-ending chaos.

Left adrift, unmoored even, a person can’t hope to stay healthy under such soul-crushing conditions.

Physical Healing

Stemming the tide of oppressive darkness, it takes a polished black crystal to restore the light. Physically speaking, that light causes stomach tension to fade as the mental stress crumbles.

The digestive system improves, circulatory health is restored, and muscle tension fades until it’s a long forgotten memory.

As the energy centers in the spiritual form align, the ability to quickly heal physical ailments is simultaneously revived.

Sprained ankles heal faster, bones mend rapidly, colds and viruses end in a fraction of a time they’d normally take, and chronic pains evaporate quickly. In other words, recovery times are happily reduced when Obsidian crystals are nearby.

Obsessive thoughts trouble many people, as do alcohol addictions, drug abuse problems, and gambling issues. Obsidian strengthens the will so the stone owner can give up these system-contaminating influences, plus it aids troubled users through tough substance detoxification programs.

Emotional Healing

Deeply embedded emotional trauma is like a heavy, near unbearable weight. Use the black glass as an emotional spotlight. The truth, harsh as it may be, will set the bearer free so that the true healing work can commence.

Deep healing vibrations reach out from the stone to penetrate a hurt heart. The psyche rallies, the strength to recover is found and accessed, and fear mechanisms are brought under control until a formerly emotionally destructive cycle is broken forever.

Wear obsidian jewelry as a psychic shield. Depression and negativity may whisper psyche undermining messages to the undefended ear, but the black, glossy quartz radiates a vibrating field that defuses the negative energy.

Spiritual Healing

Obsidian illuminates the self. It protects the bearer from chaos, clarifies and stimulates a need for spiritual and intellectual growth, and the stone has a particular gift for clearing confusion.

Strong and focused once more, a once lost life path becomes clear again when these mind-clouding influences evaporate like morning mist.

As spiritual distress recedes, balance is restored. As that balance comes into focus, the spirit is connected more deeply to the physical body, so a grounding feeling flows through the user’s aura.

Subsequently, the stress and negativity flow through the feet of the crystal holder and deep into the ground, where it’s humbled by Gaia.
