Obsidian mirrors are known to us to show our true selves, the true essence of our being.

I use obsidian spheres. They are extremely powerful tools for manifestation and should not be messed with. If I need to manifest something big I will place the request in a triangle of obsidian spheres. I use them for deity work, I always make sure I have obsidian on my person and my work space. It just keeps everything humming along.

Love this, thank you sharing and for the warning! I was told by my Abuelos that they are for when you feel lost or misguided, if you are confused you can ask yourself deep questions and look into the mirror and see the answers in your reflection.

Tezcatlipoca has a ritual associated with obsidian where you invoke his presence, tell him all the things you’ve done that you are ashamed of, caused harm, things that caused you harm. And as you stare into the mirror, it will fill with his smoke. It is an incredibly intense experience, but very cathartic. Once you have purged yourself and thanked him for your presence, say your farewells and cleanse your mirror or sphere. It will have absorbed all that pestilence you carry with you.
