Precious and semi-precious stones have been used since recorded history, and probably before, for spiritual, emotional and physical healing. Healers all over the world are using them.

All Aztec divers called the tools of their trade – book, grain of corn, piece of cloth – a tezcatl or mirror, and the word in Nahuatl for “predict” (itzpopolhuia) is made up of two words, itztli (obsidian) and popolhuia (to cast a spell). No wonder, then, that the Mexican referred to Obsidian as “the talking stone”. A mirror of Black Obsidian could reflect images and destinies. Just as sound can be thrown back and announced audibly in the form of echoes, images can be thrown back and reflected visibly in the form of smoke and mirrors.

Mirrors represented wisdom, knowledge, and power. A wise and elderly man was “a great mirror, a mirror pierced on both sides. Parents and ancestors were often compared to mirrors (and torches). Each Aztec ruler (“Great Speaker”) possessed a mirror with which he could observe his subjects – and their transgressions or sins.

For both the Maya and the Mexicans the very word ‘mirror’ was synonymous with ‘ruler’. And the mirror – ‘pierced on both sides’ – had two faces and thus two functions: to reveal Tezcatlipoca’s will to the people, and to reveal to Tezcatlipoca the (mis)deeds of the Aztec people. It was both a receiver and a communicator of the divine force, a medium – similar to a human eye – with which one could see and be seen.
