What Is A Hag Stone?
A hag stone, also known as an adder stone, holey stone, or Odin stone, is a rock that’s had water and other elements pushed against it to form a hole. They are typically heavy rocks with a smooth to grainy texture as seen in the picture!
Folklore
The names for these stones & their uses vary but region, but they’ve been used across the word in magick for a very long time. In particular, Germany. They are commonly found in Northern Germany, and Germanic legend states that hag stones are formed when snakes band together and form the holes with their venom.
Uses
Depending on who you ask, the hag stone has a very wide variety of uses. Primarily though, they are seen as a symbol of protection or warding from the evil eye, spirits, curses, nightmares, ect. This includes warding off other witch’s magick. This is believed because running water is very cleansing, so it makes sense that the hag stone would continue to possess that property outside of water. Keeping things around it safe from negative energies. The other primary use of a hag stone is the seeing of spirits, particularly Fae when you peer through it.
