#obsidian is a bloodthirsty fucker
What I was actually coming here to blog about…
I was reading my witch book on break at work, and it told me to keep black obsidian with me to absorb negativity.
And I laughed because I literally have a small potato in my pocket right now for exactly that.
idk why I think of potatoes as ‘absorbent’, but I do. And at work, every day there is at least onesmall potato that breaches containment from its cardboard box home and lands on the floor. Instead of throwing it out immediately, one day I just tucked it into my pocket and then threw it out at the end of the day. 10/10, do recommend.
ok but potatoes are ABSOLUTELY magically absorbent and that is an excellent use for a spare potato.
In cooking if your soup is too salty you can put potato in it, simmer it, and discard the salty potato. So, that makes since.
Potat: It ABSORBS!
Tbh I trust the potato more than obsidian. What has obsidian ever done for me personally?? Now a potato on the other hand … that’s an honest creature. I trust it.
THIS IS A MAGICALLY SOUND PRINCIPAL
Sympathy, the second law of magic. Like attracts like. What absorbs the flavor of the mundane world must absorb the flavor of the metaphysical world.
Obsidian is REFLECTIVE. It might DEFLECT negativity but why would it absorb.
Potate Friend much better for absorb.
