Reclaim Your Power: A Cord-Cutting Ritual with Black Obsidian.
Sever Energetic Ties and Step into Sovereignty with the Stone of Shadow and Truth
Black Obsidian is a mysterious and potent volcanic glass formed from molten lava that cooled so quickly it had no time to crystallize. Born of fire and hardened by pressure, this jet-black mirror of the soul holds immense spiritual power. Revered since ancient times for its deep connection to the underworld, shadow work, and psychic protection, Black Obsidian is the stone of truth—bold, unrelenting, and raw. It reveals what has been hidden, cuts through illusions, and dissolves energy blockages that prevent growth. Often used by shamans and seers, it serves as a guardian stone, absorbing negative energies and banishing energetic cords that tether you to what no longer serves. With its reflective surface and grounding power, Black Obsidian helps you see your own darkness with clarity and love, allowing for radical self-healing and release. It is the blade and the balm—perfect for cord-cutting rituals designed to sever attachments, dissolve karmic entanglements, and restore sovereignty to the soul.
Begin by creating a sacred space. Choose a quiet area where you feel safe and undisturbed.
Place a soft cloth on a table or altar space—white, silver, or black will carry the right vibration.
On it, place your piece of Black Obsidian in the center.
Arrange black and white candles around it, lighting them slowly as you breathe deeply.
Close your eyes and visualize yourself enveloped in a sphere of silvery-blue light.
Inhale slowly through your nose, exhale through your mouth, and feel the weight of any lingering energies clinging to your aura.
Take your Black Obsidian into your hands. Gaze into its surface and let it become a mirror.
In your mind’s eye, allow the face of the person or the situation you wish to release to emerge.
If you feel called, gently name the person or situation aloud—giving it shape and clarity. This can deepen the power of the ritual and ground your intention.
With kindness and without judgment, speak aloud or silently: “I honor what was, I bless what has been, but I now release what no longer aligns with my path.” Insert name of person or emotions that linger tied to the person.
Visualize a glowing cord of energy stretching from your solar plexus to theirs. The cord may shimmer, throb, or pulse—let it appear in its own way.
As you hold the Black Obsidian, imagine it becoming a blade of light.
Say: “With love, I sever this cord. I release you. I release myself. Your energy no longer has access to mine, I take back all of my power. With no harm done, I return all of your energy back to you and release myself from this connection. The ties are severed, with love.”
Visualize the cord breaking apart with a burst of silver-blue light. See the two ends retract back into your bodies, sealed with healing light.
Breathe deeply and feel the shift. If any emotions rise, allow them to pass through you like waves.
Place the Black Obsidian back on the cloth and say: “I am whole. I am free. I stand in my own light.”
Sit in stillness for several minutes, allowing the energy to settle.
When ready, extinguish the candles one by one, thanking each element of your ritual.
Cleanse your Black Obsidian under cold running water or with sound, then place it somewhere sacred to continue guarding your energy.
This ritual can be repeated any time you feel energetically entangled, drained by relationships, or weighed down by the past. Let the shadows fall away. Let your power return. Let the stone do what it was born to do—cut through illusion and guide you home.
Wear it on your body for constant healing however Black Obsidian works differently depending on which wrist you wear it on.
Wearing Black Obsidian: Left Wrist vs. Right Wrist
Black Obsidian is not only a powerful tool for ritual—it’s also a potent daily ally when worn on the body. The wrist you choose to wear it on determines how its energy flows and interacts with your own.
Worn on the Right Wrist
The right side of your body is your active or giving side—it represents how you project energy outward into the world. Wearing Black Obsidian on your right wrist serves as a protective shield, helping to block external negativity, psychic attacks, or harmful energy from others. It deflects toxic vibrations before they reach your aura, making it ideal for empaths, healers, or anyone navigating draining environments or challenging relationships. It also empowers you to stand your ground, speak your truth, and cut cords energetically as you move through life.
Worn on the Left Wrist
The left side of your body is your receptive or receiving side—it governs your internal world, emotions, and subconscious. Wearing Black Obsidian on your left wrist invites deep introspection and emotional release. It helps draw out hidden traumas, fears, and suppressed wounds so that you can face and heal them with courage. It’s particularly powerful for shadow work, spiritual awakening, and releasing old emotional cords still lingering within. This placement turns the stone into a mirror of the soul, revealing truths and guiding you inward with wisdom and fierce compassion.
Whether you wear it on the left or right wrist—or alternate depending on your needs—Black Obsidian is a sacred ally for transformation, protection, and empowered healing. Let it walk beside you as you reclaim your energy, your clarity, and your truth.
