What is a hag stone?

Hag stones, also known as witch stones, fairy stones, or holy stones, are stones with a naturally occurring hole through them. These stones are believed to have magical properties and are often used for protection and warding off evil spirits.

In folklore, hag stones are believed to have the power to see into the spirit world, protect against nightmares, and bring good luck. They are also used in various rituals and ceremonies to bring positivity, protect the home, and promote healing.

Hag stones are often found near bodies of water, particularly rivers and oceans, as the water erosion process helps to naturally form the hole in the stone. People also believe that hag stones can be found on beaches, in fields, or in forests.

Many people keep hag stones in their homes or wear them as jewelry for protection and good luck. They are also popular as decorative pieces or as a unique addition to a collection of natural curiosities.
