Description

Ormhäxan is a fascinating archaeological artifact, also known as the Snake-Witch Stone or Smiss Stone. It's a carved picture stone found on the Swedish island of Gotland, dating back to the 4th or 5th century AD. The snake is a potent symbol in many cultures, often associated with wisdom, transformation, and healing. The female figure is often seen as a Goddess or shamanic figure, potentially representing the earth, fertility, or spiritual power. Scholars have drawn parallels between the Ormhäxan and similar figures found in Celtic and Germanic art, suggesting a shared cultural heritage or influence. While the exact meaning of the Snake-witch stone remains open to debate, it's clear that it represents a significant piece of ancient Scandinavian art and culture. Bring this artifact home with the Ormhäxan necklace pendant.
