Baphomet, Beer and Mountain Bikes

 Baphomet, Beer and Mountain Bikes I ride my bike through mountains steep With Baphomet by my side And a cold beer in my hand I feel alive The wind in my hair The sun on my face I pedal hard and push through the air Leaving all my worries in their place Baphomet, Beer and Mountain Bikes A trio that can't be beat We conquer trails and peaks alike Our bond is strong, our friendship sweet So come and join me on this ride And we'll conquer all that lies ahead Baphomet, Beer and Mountain Bikes Forever inseparable, until the end.

But what is a hag stone?  In short: A stone "from the sea" with a hole in it. A hag stone is a stone with a naturally occurring hole through it. They are also known as adder stones, witch stones, serpent eggs, and fairy stones. Hag stones are believed to have magical properties, and have been used for centuries for protection, healing, and divination. The hole in a hag stone is said to represent the eye of a witch or fairy.
