A hag stone? Seriously? Absolutely.
I find the concept of the hag incredible. A strong manifestion of the female spirit. While some things I've read (but certainly not all) portray the hag as an 'evil/scary/ugly' entity, I can only think of her as the wise and wonderful crone. The aged one with so much knowledge, an I-don't-give-a-rat's-ass attitude, and oh oh oh ... so powerful! And the concept of 'hag' as unbecoming in beauty because of her age ... because it is perceived that her time of youth, thus value, has passed ... that crackling sound is my bones as I cringe. In my mind (in my spirit) the hag is truly awsome. Enviable in the things she's learned in this life. No way is she passive. And she's just amazingly wise. Beautiful, in the truest sense, indeed.
Though different myths and superstitions can be found concerning the hag stone, and different powers are attributed to it, physically, it is a stone with a naturally-made hole through it.
