Discover the Obsidian Spirit Guide Dagger — a handcrafted ritual piece where ancient wisdom meets artistic craftsmanship. Designed to be your companion in spiritual exploration, this dagger blends protective obsidian, intuitive labradorite, and powerful symbolic details.
1. Material Breakdown
Blade: Natural Obsidian (sourced from Mexico’s volcanic regions). Obsidian is a volcanic glass revered in shamanic traditions for its ability to shield against negative energy and “cut through” spiritual illusions, making it ideal for ritual work.
Central Gemstone: Labradorite (imported from Canada). Known for its shimmering iridescence (“schiller”), labradorite enhances intuition, connects you to magical realms, and helps unlock hidden knowledge — perfect for spiritual seekers.
Metal Decorations: Antique - brass - plated alloy, featuring intricate wing, foliage, and Hamsa hand motifs. The alloy is durable and corrosion - resistant, ensuring the details stay vivid over time.
Handle & Accents: Smooth black resin handle (for a comfortable grip) with cord wrapping. Additional elements include Celtic knotwork (symbolizing eternity and spiritual unity) and tiny accent gems (like blue aventurine for calm energy).
2. Craft Story: Forging a Bridge Between Worlds
The idea for this dagger sparked during a visit to a Mexican obsidian workshop. Watching artisans shape raw obsidian into ceremonial tools, I felt a connection to the centuries - old shamanic practices where obsidian was used to guide spirits.
I wanted to create a piece that honored that legacy while adding layers of global spiritual symbolism. So, I sourced Mexican obsidian (chosen for its deep black hue and flawless texture) and paired it with Canadian labradorite (for its mesmerizing glow).
For months, I worked with a team of craftspeople:
First, the obsidian blade was carefully cut by hand — each curve shaped to feel balanced in the hand, yet sharp enough in symbolism to “slice through” spiritual barriers.
Then, the brass - toned metal decorations were sculpted. We added wings (to represent spiritual elevation), foliage (for nature’s wisdom), and a Hamsa hand (for protection) — blending influences from Native American, Middle Eastern, and Celtic traditions.
Finally, the labradorite was set at the heart, and the handle was finished with cord wrapping (echoing the rustic ties of traditional ritual tools) and Celtic knotwork (to signify the eternal cycle of spirit).
Every dagger is unique — the obsidian’s natural veining, labradorite’s iridescence, and slight variations in metal detailing make each piece one - of - a - kind, just like your spiritual journey.
3. Ritual & Spiritual Use

4. Care & Packaging

Packaging: Comes in a velvet pouch with a small info card about the materials and their spiritual meanings — perfect for gifting to fellow spiritual seekers.
