Hag Stone Pendant on Black Cord

A hag stone is a rock with a naturally occurring hole running clean through it, typically formed by centuries of water erosion or the boring of marine mollusks like piddocks. They are most commonly found in karst topographies or along shorelines.

• Witch Stones / Hex Stones: Linked to British and European folk magic.
• Odin Stones: Referring to large stone monoliths in Orkney legend.
• Adder Stones / Serpent's Eggs: Derived from myths that they were formed by the saliva or venom of massing snakes.
• Fairy Stones / Seeing Stones: Believed to be windows into the Otherworld.

• Protection: Traditionally hung over bedposts to prevent nightmares or over doorways and barn walls to ward off evil spirits, curses, and "sea witches".
• "True Sight": Folklore suggests that peering through the hole allows the user to see through the disguises of fairies and witches.
• Healing: Some traditions claim they can heal snake bites, boost fertility, or detect lingering negative energies.
• Luck: Finding a hag stone is considered a lucky omen, as it is often said that the stone finds you.
