A magical stone tumbled by tides and winds through time with a natural hole in it. Also known as the Great Mother Stone, Odin Stone, Witch Stone, Faerie Stone, Wishing Stone, Seeing Stone, and Adder Stone. In Italian Witchcraft the holed stone is associated with faeries, and often referred as the Holy Stone.
It is considered a doorway, or key to the doorway, into the faerie kingdom. It is believed that if you look through the hole of one of these stones that you can gain a glimpse of the Otherworld and see faeries. By peering through the hole in the moonlight, you may see visions, spirits, and unworldly beings.
Hag Stones are also said to be bringers of high psychic powers and heightened intuition. They are excellent for meditation and creative visualization.
In old Europe, the Hag Stone is especially used as a favorite talisman to dispel the evil eye. Many people still hang this stone in bedrooms to prevent nightmares. These stones can be hung on the bedpost or tied with red ribbon and hung over the bed to catch and ward off nightmares.
Hag Stones have been used throughout the world for centuries for protection from harm and to ward off evil.
These beautiful stones are considered powerful protection stones that can be worn for personal protection, hung above doorways or windows to protect a home or business, or even hung near a pet’s sleeping place to guard and protect the pet.
It is believed that magic can not work on running water and since these rare stones were formed by wind and running water then they possess a powerful protective force from magic. This protective power kept the owner of the stone safe from negative magics done against them. Wear this stone around your neck as a powerful Witch’s charm for personal protection.
For health, folklore states that Hag Stones are used in crystal healing for healing disease and maintaining general health, particularly when the stone is rubbed on the body of someone sick. To assist the body’s natural healing process, bless and charge the Hag Stone to absorb the disease. Place the stone in a bath tub of warm salt water and soak for 20 minutes. Repeat once a day for a full week. Cleanse the stone after each healing ritual bath soak and repeat as necessary.
