Looking Into Hag Stones

A hag stone, also known as a witch stone, adder stone, holey stone, or eye stone, is a naturally occurring stone with a hole running through it, usually created by water erosion. These stones have been revered in folklore and magickal traditions for centuries due to their unusual appearance and the belief that they hold protective and mystical properties.

History and Lore

• Ancient Origins: Hag stones have been found across many cultures and continents. In Celtic regions, they were often associated with Druids and used in rites and protection rituals. The Welsh called them glain neidr or “adder stones,” believing they were created by serpents.

• Medieval Europe: During the Middle Ages, hag stones were believed to ward off witches, curses, and evil spirits. Farmers would hang them in stables and barns to protect livestock from being “hag-ridden” or attacked by malicious spirits.

• Maritime Tradition: Sailors used hag stones as protective talismans against storms and sea monsters. They would tie them to the rigging of ships or carry them as personal charms.

Uses

• Protection: Traditionally, hag stones are hung above doorways, tied to keys or bedposts, or carried as amulets to ward off negative energies, curses, or the “evil eye.”

• Seeing the Unseen: A common belief is that looking through the hole of a hag stone allows one to see into other realms—such as the fae world—or to spot spirits and magical beings otherwise invisible.

• Dream and Sleep Protection: Tied above beds, they are believed to prevent nightmares and protect against sleep paralysis or spirit visitation.

• Fertility and Health: In some folk traditions, hag stones were believed to cure illness or enhance fertility when worn close to the body.

In Magick and Witchcraft

• Tool of the Craft: In modern witchcraft and neopagan practices, hag stones are used in spells and rituals for protection, clairvoyance, and elemental magick, especially water and earth-based workings.

• Fae Magick: Hag stones are particularly potent in faerie lore, believed to be keys to fae sight or gateways to the otherworld.

• Charging and Consecration: Many practitioners cleanse and charge hag stones under moonlight, particularly during the full moon, to enhance their magickal properties.

• Divination: Some witches use them in scrying or as focus objects in meditative practices.

The hole in the hag stone represents a gateway or portal—a liminal space that bridges the physical and spiritual worlds. It symbolizes perception beyond the veil, spiritual insight, and protection through awareness.

🕯️ How To Use a Single Candle for a Thousand Spells

Let me tell you something they don’t always say in the glittery TikTok witch corners, you don’t need a candle for every mood, every moon, every color-coded correspondence chart. You don’t need twenty-seven jars of herbs and a wand carved from wood kissed by a fae prince.

Sometimes? You just need one candle. One flame. One little fire spirit. That’s it. That’s the whole altar.

I used to think I needed a different candle for every type of spell. White for clarity. Black for banishing. Green for money. Red for passion. And so on and so forth until I had a hoarder’s drawer full of half-burned wax orphans and a heart that still felt stuck.

But then one night, I had only one candle left, a simple tea light. No color. No scent. Just a stub of fire and a deep need. And what do you know? The spell worked anyway.

🌿 The Candle Itself Doesn’t Make the Spell, You Do

This is rule number one and it’s tattooed on the inside of my ribcage (okay, metaphorically): Your intention is the fuel. The candle is the match.

Yes, colors and scents can boost things, sure. But don’t let that trick you into thinking your power is limited to your supplies. It’s not. It never was.

One humble candle is a portal, a torch, a mirror, if you treat it like one.

🔮Cleanse It, Claim It, Charge It

Whatever candle you have, tea light, birthday candle, old emergency taper from the back of your junk drawer. make it yours.

Cleanse it: You can pass it through incense, sprinkle salt on it, whisper over it, or knock it against your palm three times. Do what feels like a reset.

Claim it: Hold it in your hands and say: “You are mine. You are my flame, my focus, my will made visible.”

Charge it: Focus on your goal. Imagine it soaking into the wax like honey. It doesn’t have to take more than a minute. The more focused you are, the brighter the burn.

🕯️Fire Is Fire, So Tell It What To Do

Here’s the magic: one candle can hold any intention, if you’re clear with it.

Need protection? Light the candle and say: “Burn away what doesn’t belong to me.” Need clarity? “Bring light to what I can’t see.” Need energy? “Stir my blood, sharpen my spine.” Need release? “Burn this tie, let the ashes fall.”

The words don’t need to rhyme. They don’t need to be long. They just need to be yours.

🌙 Reuse It With Respect

Yes, you can reuse your candle, as long as:

You cleansed it between spells (a quick pass through incense or a firm knock of intent).

You’re not mixing clashing energies (don’t follow a banishing spell with a love spell on the same stub).

You’re treating it like a tool, not trash.

Think of it like a paintbrush, rinse it, then dip again. Let it serve multiple portraits of your power.

🗝️ Burn Time Doesn’t Define the Spell

A candle doesn’t have to burn for hours to “work.”

Short on time? Burn it for three deep breaths.

In a rush? Burn it as you speak one sentence with your whole soul.

Want to use the same one all week? Burn a little bit each day.

Snuff it out with care (never blow it out, your breath is air magic, but it’s disruptive here). Use a spoon, a snuffer, or pinch it gently.

Final Whisper From Me

You don’t need more stuff. You need more trust.

One candle is enough. It always was. The flame is old. It remembers who you are, even when you don’t.

So next time your altar looks bare, or your supplies are scarce, or your heart feels small, light that single flame, and watch what it reveals.

You are the spell.

Transmutation Warding: Feeding Off The Haters

• Welcome Back, Seekers! Within my local coven, we’ve turned our focus to warding and protection magick as we prepare for the year ahead. I adore transmutation magick for warding! It’s one of my favorite ways to craft shields for myself, my work, my growth, and my success. Instead of constantly bracing for every hex, evil eye, or ill wish, this approach flips the narrative. Transmutation wards work proactively, taking any negativity sent your way and alchemizing it into fuel for your growth and power. Why waste energy defending against haters or uncovering their identities when you can let their spite feed your fire? Let them send their malice—it’ll only make you more powerful.

As always, take what resonates with your spirit and weave it into your own unique magick! My spells and workings are here to spark your creativity and inspire your craft. ✨

--------

Tools & Ingredients:

1 black candle (to absorb negativity)

1 purple candle (for transmutation and spiritual power)

Thread or Cord (any color)

A mirror (to summon your Fetch Spirit or reflect your essence)

1 clear quartz crystal or any charm you’re called to that can be left on your altar or within your space -  As a subtle sentinel of the ward’s power, clear quartz is a cherished ally in magick. Its ability to be easily programmed makes it a perfect vessel for your intention, while its amplifying nature ensures the energy of your working radiates far and wide. To the untrained eye, it appears as nothing more than a beautiful crystal resting upon your altar or within your sacred space—a discreet guardian cloaked in plain sight, silently weaving its protective spell.

Optional: Chalk or something to draw a circle (for creating a sacred boundary to hold the enchantment of your crystal or charm. If chalk is unavailable, let your finger become the wand. You can also use salt or any symbols you would like to use to draw out a circle.

--------

Preparation:

Cleanse your workspace and tools with smoke, salt water, or another method of your choosing.

Candle preparation, take your black candle and anoint it with a neutral oil, something simple like canola oil—or any oil you feel connected to for protection. Once it’s dressed in oil, sprinkle it with herbs known for protection, such as basil, bay, black pepper, cinnamon, or clove—or any protection herbs that resonate with your magick. For the purple candle, I like to use a neutral oil as well, then dress it with herbs that are perfect for transmutation, like lady’s mantle and yucca. Along with those, I often add a pinch of herbs that represent success and abundance—and don’t forget to include a bit of your hair, fingernail clippings, or something from your person to taglock the magick, connecting the work directly to your energy. Then bind the candles together with some thread or cord.

Binding the Candles:

Take the black and purple candles and begin winding the thread around them, chanting this, or create your own:

"I bind these flames, black and purple entwined,

Protection and transmutation, powers combined.

Through thread and flame, my will takes hold,

To guard my essence, fierce and bold."

You don't have to go all out like I did with those massive candles. Honestly, a couple of chime candles will do the trick if you're short on time.

3. Place your mirror above the center of your altar or working space, positioning it to reflect either yourself or the flickering flames of your candles (refer to the caption below the next picture for more context). Let it serve as a portal, amplifying the energy of your work. Arrange your candles in a fire-safe dish at the center—I often favor a trusty aluminum pie pan for this purpose.

4. Hold your crystal or charm in your hands, letting your energy flow into it. Visualize your purpose, your will, and your desire imprinting itself upon the object. Once your intention feels vibrant and alive within the crystal or charm, move it in a clockwise circle around the candles, envisioning it connecting to the fiery energy of your working—like a thread weaving them together.

5. When the circuit feels complete, place the charged crystal or charm before the candles. Now, cast a circle around the entire space, sealing in the energy. You can do this energetically, feeling the boundary forming with your will, or use chalk, salt, or symbols drawn ahead of time to anchor the space. This sacred boundary holds the power of your work, ensuring that your charm becomes fully and beautifully enchanted. And now, it's time to spark the flame on them candles.

I used a selenite tower in this picture as a stand-in to show where your crystal or charm should be placed. This isn’t the actual charm I used, but it gives you an idea of the setup. You’ll also notice my altar mirror hanging just above the space, perfectly positioned for the energy work. If hanging a mirror isn’t an option for you, no worries—simply place one in front of your working area instead. The reflection is what matters most!

--------

Casting The Ward:

Lighting the Candles:

With the bound candles before the mirror. Light them, starting with the black candle, then the purple, and then chant this, or create your own:

"Black flame of shadow, guard and protect,

Purple flame of spirit, energy redirect.

Before this mirror, realms align,

My (Fetch Spirit/Reflection) carries this spell through time."

Incantation of The Ward:

Face the mirror and focus on your reflection, summoning your Fetch Spirit or the reflection of your empowered self. Chant this incantation, or create your own:

"Anyone who cannot honor my essence,

Respect my growth, or stand in my presence,

Be it through disdain, envy, or intent,

Their fate is sealed, their malice spent.

Their energy flows to me, transformed,

Into strength, abundance, success reborn.

As I feed upon their misguided spite,

They are drained by their own blight.

Across all realms, my shield is spun,

Now and forever, this spell is done."

Seal the Energy:

Visualize the mirror reflecting the power of your spell into the cosmos, spreading the ward across all realms. Allow the candles to burn fully if possible, or snuff them out respectfully.

I love this picture! The flames intertwine perfectly, mirroring the energy I was aiming for in this ward of protective transmutation.

--------

Aftercare:

Charging your crystal or charm: Leave your charm on your altar or in your space as a representation of the ward. Each full moon, place it under the moonlight to recharge its energy, visualizing the ward growing stronger with every cycle.

Mirror Care: Cleanse the mirror after the spellwork with smoke or moon water to ensure it remains a neutral tool for future workings.

Final Words:

Maintain your crystal or charm as a talisman of your protective transmutation ward and remember that this ward will work continuously as long as you charge it and feed it with belief and intention.

Stay Wild, Stay Magickal, & Keep Seeking, Seekers!

Day 15 // Cryptid (part two)

Continued from the research journal of Dr. Bernard Pfieffer, date unknown:

C. Fallax's random (and often deadly) mutations perplex biologists around the world. No one is quite sure how such a thing developed uniformly in a species whose range extends nearly from pole to pole.

So far, the documented mutations all seem to be extra body parts. Eyes, legs, mouths, even antlers. For what purpose would a species need to grow extra limbs or organs, none can say. There is no commonality between these mutations and C. Fallax's territories.

My own studies of the animals lead me to believe that perhaps the codes for such mutations are all lumped inside one specific genome, but only one (or rarely two) trait develops dominantly. Like an advanced terratoma, these traits manifest as fully-functional organs and limbs, posing little detriment to the animal and thus being advantageous to the species as a whole.

This is conjecture, of course, as I have not voiced my opinions on the matter to the greater scientific community.
