“Within every onyx is imprisoned an evil nocturnal demon
that causes terror and nightmares to plague any unfortunate
individual who wears this stone to bed or sleeps within its
range of influence, according to ancient gemstone legend.”
Dunwhich Gerina, in “Dunwich’s guide to gemstone sorcery”

- 163rd page

Onyx is a mineral that occurs in various colors, though we will be discussing the black variety here.

Onyx is a variety of chalcedony, and is cryptocrystalline, “consisting of fine intergrowths of the silica minerals quartz and morganite” We can distinguish it from Agate, it’s close “relative” ( another variety of chalcedony , which can also occur in similar colors ) by stripes, which appear in ( natural ) Onyx , and are parallel, as opposed to concentric, or even chaotic ones that occur in Agate. Another common form/variety is Sardonyx, which is yellow-brown-orange-ish in color with white stripes, which sometimes You can find labeled as Yellow Onyx, or Brown Onyx, also Marble Onyx.

On the Moss’ scale, Onyx is said to have 6.5 units firmness ( durability), and the streak is white.

As a semi-precious stone it is very popular among jewelers and people who buy and wear jewelry.

When You’re looking to get an Onyx stone, caution is needed though. More so when searching for black Onyx. Some of what people offer as Black Onyx is actually a low quality Agate, painted black to look like it.

Even the common Black Onyxes most of us own, and use in crystal therapy or magick, are cooked either in honey, oil or sugar syrup, so that the organic matters infiltrate spaces between microcrystal structures and give it black tone. After that it’s boiled in Sulphuric acid to make the color permanent.

Now let’s proceed with therapeutic and magickal qualities of Onyx.

Black Onyx In Crystal Therapy

On a physical level, Onyx is extremely useful in healing conditions related to teeth, bones, feet , bone marrow and blood.

It corresponds to root chakra.

Psychologically, Onyx is a wonderful mental tonic, that helps overcome longstanding conditions of grief, mourning and sorrow. It helps integrate different aspects ( particularly those negative ) of personality, into personality as whole, and accept them.

It’s an advising and guiding stone, that helps in difficult time by supporting, and providing that priceless gift of wisdom, discernment, and also helps make the right choices.

Worn around neck it inspires chastity and reduces libido.

It was once taught that Onyx can be used to prevent premature childbirth, as well to ease the process itself, when placed on the body

It’s also said to sharpens the senses, fortifies self confidence and strengthens healthy egoism.

A German Saint and mystic Hildegard fon Bingen, in her work “De Physica” suggest placing Onyx for a while in mouths , when heavily depressed or tormented mentally, and the stone is said to remove these feelings rather swiftly, but it must then be cleansed thoroughly. She had also suggested using it in wine to treat swollen glands, as You can see from the example bellow.

Black Onyx In Magick and Sorcery

Onyx, as well as jewelry made from it can be worn as amulet to ward off misfortune, protect from evil magick, instill bravery and grant spiritual wisdom.

Here are the correspondences associated with this enticing stone:

· Planetary ruler – Saturn and/or Mars

· Elemental ruler – Fire

· Numerical correspondence – 6

· Energy – projective

· Birthstone of - Capricorn, Leo

· Time of Year* – Samhain, July ( according to Hebrew teachings ) and January ( Agripa )

· Angelic ruler – Gabriel ( according to Agripa )

Onyx can be used in persuasion and controlling magick, as well as affecting someone’s sleep, which had to do with it’s Saturnian/al nature.

Also it can be used to deflect black magick, and send it back to it’s source, which I will illustrate with a spell from a renowned author latter in text.

According to an old magickal treatise, called Book of Wings, from 13th century, Onyx engraved with Camel’s head or a pair of goats among the Myrtles, confers practitioner the power, to conjure and subdue and control demons. In fact the stone itself, was believed to draw attention of demons, and could possibly cause oppression by them, least worn along with Sard

Onyx Spell To Induce Nightmares

Mix some powdered black Onyx, with powdered bread crumbs, and sprinkle very discreetly on the bed of the person You wish to induce nightmares to. If this is impossible try this:

Get a picture of person in question and write their name nine times on the back of the picture. Holding an black Onyx stone in Your projective stone, tell it what You want it to do, to cause nightmares and disrupt the peaceful sleep of N.N. Now place it on the picture. Light the incense made from Star Anise, Tobacco and Mullein leafs, and waft the smoke, or better yet blow it, so that it descends on the Onyx and image of the person, which is bellow it. Do it for 8 more times , so total 9. Each time You do it You may speak some words of power. Remove the stone in the morning and tear the pic up, saying how You release the person from the spell, least You wish it to be ongoing. If You ever want to use the Onyx for something else, make sure to clean profoundly prior to use. You can for example bury it in ground for few days, or leave it in salt for 9-21 days.

NOTE: I don't advocate casting harmful spells on anyone, I composed this spell, and included it here for educational and illustrative purposes. Should You decide to use it, I WILL NOT be held responsible for any possible outcomes. With that being said, use Your brain, think before You act, and this is a good advice in general.

Mental Tonic

Make a Mint tea ( You can optionally add few leaves of Sage ) , let it cool down, and pour into a clean transparent glass, or bottle. Place an Onyx inside and then place , the glass/bottle with it atop a healing symbol, such as that one in the picture. You can also use Cho ku Rei Reiki symbol, and I myself love to use “Flower of life” blueprint, to place bellow all sort of herbal remedies, tonics, and potions. Solar kamea will do brilliantly as well.

Place Your hands over it and say some soothing words of power. Psalm 3rd or something along these lines will do:

“Remove the confusion, banish the pain
Relieve the sorrow, make it vane
Restore the peace and grant the wisdom
Heal the mind , bless it power and freedom”

This is best done sometimes before midday, ideal day for work being Sunday. Then let it sit on exposed to sunlight ( if possible ) from midday to one hour pm. Then remove the Onyx, sweeten with honey and lemon If You wish, and drink to heal troubled, confused mind, and to end “all-over-the-place” or “air-headed “ state.

Scott Cunningham’s Reversal Spell With Onyx

I’ve mentioned before how Onyx can, and is used in defensive magick, and I promised an illustrative spell. Here it is:

“A defensive spell: Place a square mirror on your altar. Set a purple
candle before it so that the flame is reflected in the mirror.
Empower nine onyx stones with reflective, or defensive, energy.
Place one piece of onyx three inches from the candle's right side. Then
place eight more stones in a semicircle around the candle, working
from right to left, until the candle is half-ringed with onyx toward you,
but is clear of it in front of the mirror.
Light the candle. Visualize the onyx as collecting the negativity
and sending it into the candle's flame. Then see the flame acting as a
lens, focusing the negativity and sending it into the mirror.
The mirror is a doorway onto the spiritual plane. The negative
energy is sent through it back to the original sender.”

A wonderful and pragmatic spell, which employs Saturnian correspondences and natural, protective qualities of Onyx, which I warmly recommend.

Protective and Wealth Feng Shui Cure With Onyx

Not a spell per say, but a rather good Feng shui advice, quite nifty

Place a couple of Pi Yao amulet made from Onyx in Your workplace in Your money area or lucky direction , to both protect Your money, Yourself from evil, and inspire steady flow of wealth energies.

Crystal Charm Bag For Difficult Times

In a mojo type bag, combine and carry:

· Black Onyx Stone

· Unakite

· Sun Stone

This crystal charm bag will help You through difficult times, will lift You up when You are to fall, and when You’re about to give up. It will also provide wisdom and energy needed so badly, when we are dealing with challenging tasks, and in midst of tribulations. Pouch bag can be purple, white or orange, although the color here, is obviously not an imperative.
