A 'Hag' Stone is a stone which has a hole through it caused by running water, either by river or Sea. As running water is said to be insusceptible to magic, Hag Stones were used as protective Talismans. Dorset Fishermen used them as protective charms against evil spirits, while their neighbours in Hampshire hung them in orchards to bring good luck and ripe, juicy apples!

In Italy the 'Holed' or 'Holey' Stone were considered the key to the Fairy Realm. Across Europe these stones were said to keep away the 'Evil Hag' to stop her stealing children and Horses, to dispel the 'Evil Eye' and prevent the 'Succubus-Hag' from riding on your chest during nightmares.
