Crystal of the month: October - Obsidian 🖤
October reminds us that nature is constantly teaching us the beauty of letting go. As the leaves begin to fall and the earth prepares for winter, we're invited to release what we've outgrown and make space for what wants to emerge next.
This is why your crystal for the month is Obsidian. A powerful stone of truth, protection and transformation, Obsidian helps illuminate what has been hidden, release old patterns and beliefs, and gently guides you through the death and rebirth cycle this season invites.
How to work with Obsidian this October...
🖤 Hold it during journalling or meditation as you reflect on what you're ready to release.
🖤 Keep it nearby when setting boundaries or making decisions that honour your worth and the person you're becoming.
🖤 Work with it around the Taurus full moon or Samhain, allowing it to support you in letting go of old stories and welcoming a new chapter.
Your Obsidian ritual: Light a candle and hold your obsidian in both hands. Take a slow breath in and ask yourself: What am I ready to let go of so I can embrace this new season as the truest version of myself? As you breathe out, imagine placing anything you've outgrown into the earth to be transformed. Spend a few moments reflecting before writing down one thing you're ready to leave behind.
Affirmation... "I honour what has served me, release what no longer aligns."
