Whether you know them as hag stones, holey stones, adder stones, witch stones, or any of the other names, these talismans have been around for centuries.
It's been said that the holes in the stones (made naturally usually by water) create a pathway for good fortune and blessings to find you, but the hole is too small for bad luck to pass and it gets stuck in the rock. It's also been said that looking through the hole permits the viewer to see other realms, particularly that of the Fairy kingdom.
Things you can do with a hagstone:
- keep it near your door to prevent evil from entering
- hang one from a bedpost to keep bad dreams and sleep paralysis away
- wear the smaller ones on a chain as a necklace for good luck/protection
You may hear that "hagstones only work for the people that find them" but that's not been our experience at all. Many people do not have access to the places where hagstones are naturally formed and even if they had access, some folks don't have the physical ability to go outdoors to find them. Magic belongs to everybody.
You will receive one stone chosen at random from either the large or small pile. Stone selection varies on what we have on hand and the stone you received may or may not be pictured.
