Silver Serpent Netherworld Obsidian

In ancient Greek mythology, the snake on the staff of Asclepius, the god of medicine, symbolizes healing and vitality. The wisdom goddess Athena is often accompanied by a snake at her feet, representing wisdom. The head of the Gorgon Medusa, with its serpentine hair, is inlaid on Athena's shield, signifying power and rebirth. These energies are perfectly integrated into obsidian, adding even more mystery to its energy. Those who understand obsidian know well its energy and effects.
