Tarot & Crystals

Welcome back to Every Day Tarot where season 15 is all about tarot and crystals, And today we’re diving into the protective, grounding energy of Black Tourmaline.

Black Tourmaline is one of the most trusted allies for protection and energetic clearing. For centuries, it has been revered by magicians, shamans, and healers alike—used as a psychic shield, a grounding anchor, and a symbol of resilience.

In this episode, we explore the lore of this prized stone of protection, its magical correspondences, and its resonance with tarot archetypes of transformation, protection, and resilience.

What we explore in this episode:

Black Tourmaline belongs to a complex family of aluminum borosilicates mixed with iron, magnesium, and other trace metals, which give rise to a wide range of colors. Ancient magicians carried it to ward off earth spirits and protect themselves during ritual. 

Connected to the root chakra, Black Tourmaline brings us back to strength. It clears fear, restores balance, and helps us feel secure even in difficult environments.

In magical practice, Black Tourmaline is often used to:

• Create psychic protection and dispel heavy or stagnant energy

• Ground the body and spirit through the root chakra

• Support calm, focus, and confidence in difficult environments

Astrologically, Black Tourmaline is tied to Saturn and the element of Earth, embodying structure, discipline, and stability. It carries the resilience of Capricorn and the balancing influence of Libra, offering both grounded strength and harmony in relationships.

Black Tourmaline & the TarotWith its grounding energy, Black Tourmaline resonates with tarot archetypes of transformation, protection, and resilience. It reflects the Death card, showing us that endings open the path to growth. It connects with the Knights, guardians of courage and purposeful action. And it mirrors The Fool, reminding us that stepping into the unknown is safest when we carry our own clarity, resilience, and protection.
