#inktober Day 17 #ornament These #adderstones are believed to be magical stones that hold immense power. They are also known as a fairy stone. Their appearances are quite similar to each other. There is a glassy finish to the body of the stones, which can be produced in any number of ways. The finish is said to be made by the snakes themselves. Then each stone has a hole in them. This hole does not have to be in the center of the stone to make the rock an adder stone. Ancient records say that the holes were made by the tongues of the snakes as they hissed and licked away. How these stones are made are irrelevant. Their worth is in the value people place on them through their various beliefs. Ancient People Believed Adder Stones Had Magical Properties The ancient world is not so much different from the modern one. People suffered from many different diseases, injuries like their modern counterparts. This led many of them to seek alternative medical cures when they found that their doctors could not cure those who were ill. #magic #magicpowers #folclore #folklore #mythologies #myth #mythology #mitologia #magico #objetomagico #pedra #ornamento https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ugieMFJmm/?igshid=1n0jtmvy0z565
