Wish Stone - Ceangal/Connection 5600 years old The sail on the rightThe stone collection are wish stones from an ancient tradition of tossing a stone three times while crossing a stone wall and making a wish. Five magical trees were believed to protect Ireland; three ash, an oak and a yew. In ancient times the oak tree was connected with strength. This ancient wood has been lovingly and carefully carved to release the natural form and etched with a message for you. When you need it carry this stone with you; know it
