5 Inch Scrying Mirror, 5" Obsidian Mirror, Black Obsidian Mirror

Description

Obsidian mirrors can be used as a protection tool that absorb negative energy from anyone that enters a dwelling carrying any negative vibe. An obsidian mirror is cleansed by the moonlight, or by submerging it in salt water to reactivate its power. This obsidian black mirror is perfectly polished on both sides to make it shine and it can be a nice gift for a family member or a friend in order to protect them. It can also be an amulet for homes or businesses where there is a great flow of people.
During pre hispanic times, polished obsidian mirrors, or tezcatl, were used as instruments of divination and magic. Wise nahuas, or Tlamatinimés,  gazed into the mirror and made a mystic travel within the smoky depths of the mirror's reflection.
The obsidian mirror was the primary accessory of the supreme Aztec deity Tezcatlipoca, whose name means "smoking mirror." He is often depicted with an obsidian mirror on his chest, in his headdress, or replacing his right foot. Tezcatlipoca was the lord of the night and its creatures—above all, the jaguar, a powerful animal believed capable of crossing between the earthly realm and the underworld.
*A metal stand is included with each Obsidian Mirror.
