Hag Stones, Crystal Magic

Hag Stones have been used for protection, charms, and other forms of magick for generations. You may have heard of them being called Holy stones, Holey stones, Wish stones, Fairy Stones, or Witch Stones. They were often hung on keys, doorways, over beds, or around the neck of a person or their animals (pets and livestock) to protect them from negativity and the influences of evil spirits. 

Ritually they can be used in weather magick for breaking up stormy weather. This is done by threading a cord through the hole and swinging it around you through the air visualising it breaking up the heavy clouds and strong winds.

The Element of water powerfully forms and at the same time protects the Hag Stone from adverse energies and enchantments. This very fact makes it an ideal amulet to wear or work with. Some use these for Faery work as it allows you access to their realm without them influencing you. Hag stones were also used as truth or pledge stones, when looking through these the wearer would know if the other person was being true to them.

If you are lucky enough to find a Hag Stone to activate the energies of it, leave it outside from sunrise to sunset to charge it with solar energy and then the same when it is a full moon to charge it with lunar energy. Anoint your stone with early morning dew; in fact very early morning is one of the best times to scry.
