The Goddess Isis was the daughter of Geb and Nut - Earth and Sky - and the sister of Nepthys, Set and Osiris.
She is mostly known for her relationship with Osiris, her husband and brother. Osiris was killed and dismembered by Set and Isis searched for all the pieces to reassemble the body.
She is celebrated as a goddess of love and devotion but also of hope and determination. Through the latter she can be seen to resonate with the struggles and challenges of human life. She is also linked with regeneration, magic and wisdom, due to her ability to outwit Set and heal Osiris.
She later became known as the mother of Horus and her statue shows her nursing Horus. In this role, she is a goddess of motherhood and protection. He outstretched wings symbolise her role as protector.
Through her role and wife of Osiris she is 'Lady of the Sky'. Through her role as mother of Horus, who is concerned with kingship and protection of the ruler, Isis became protector of the king/ruler and the kingdom.
Black Obsidian has a very powerful energy which has a natural affinity with the Navel, Base and Earth Star Chakras. It connects us to Mother Earth and to the Fire at her core. It is deep, passionate, sensual and intense.
Obsidian takes us deep inside, to hidden places, and reveals that which needs to be released and that which needs to be owned and integrated.
The deep, dark, velvet blackness can be a fearful place, if the Shadow has not been addressed; alternatively it can be a place of peace, rest and recuperation.
Obsidian is a wonderful shamanic tool, and Obsidian Mirrors have been used for millennia.
I have heard people describe Obsidian as a masculine energy, but for me it provides a wonderful tool for connecting to the Cosmic Void/Great Womb of Creation that is simultaneously total nothing and all potentials.
Obsidian is often described as grounding and protecting; and it is very useful in these ways when doing spiritual work and/or working shamanically. (For day to day grounding and protection, it is my opinion that Black Tourmaline or Hematite are more relevant.)
