Witches' stones

Witches' stones are rocks that people believed had magical powers long ago. It was believed that witches or other magical beings could use these rocks to cast spells, make potions, or even see into the future.

Some people thought that witches' stones could help protect them from harm, like bad luck or illness, and would keep one in their pocket or wear it as a necklace. Other people may place witches' stones in their home, garden, or around an animal's neck to protect against evil spirits.

But what makes a rock a witches' stone? Well, it could be their shape, color, or texture. Some witches' stones were believed to have natural holes that could hold magical energy or act as a portal to other worlds. Others were believed to have been struck by lightning or found in unusual places, which made them special and powerful.

People throughout history have believed in the power of these stones and have used them for different purposes, but today many people view witches' stones as just a fun and interesting part of history and folklore.
