I made a mystcraft world randomly and there are these obsidian pillars everywhere that are 4x4x5 with 2x2x11 on top. Just wondering what they are and if the matter at all.

Nothing to worry about, just the Obelisk feature from Mystcraft. Same as how a Mystcraft age can generate with tendrils or spheres of random materials, ages can generate with obelisks.

Congrats, you just found yourself a nice source of obsidian.

 

Now if you found a Thaumcraft 4 Obsidian totem, then you should panic and make sure you break the top of the totem. Even if you don't have a diamond pickaxe, just do it the long way.

What's to panic about with an Obsidian totem? Sure, they change a small bit of biome to Eerie and can spawn Furious Zombies, but it's not like they spread taint (Unless you've encountered a Tainted node in a totem; I've only every encountered Sinister nodes there). And even running across a tainted node is small trouble compared to finding a Hungry node.

Oh, I've definitely found a tainted node in a totem. At least I think I did. I can't actually find the totem anymore but I assume it was consumed by tainted blocks. I definitely remember seeing a totem somewhere near the outskirts of my base then I woke up one day and noticed a bunch of trees had turned dark purple...
