A Curious Collection Of Antique Hag Stones, Fed Together Through Wire.
Hag stones are naturally occurring stones with a hole worn through them, usually by water. In folklore and superstition, they carry a lot of symbolic meaning and magical associations.
They were believed to ward off evil spirits, witches, and the “evil eye.” They were often hung above doors, windows, or barn entrances to protect people, homes, and livestock. Fishermen also sometimes tied them to boats or nets for protection at sea.
Looking through the hole was thought to let someone see through illusions and deceptions. They were used in divination and as a magical “seeing stone.”
In some traditions, hag stones were called “witch stones” because they were thought to both repel witches and also be used by witches themselves in magic.
Condition is good, commensurate with age and use. Structurally sound.
