Greetings!

My Folk are of the Dal Riada, who built a Fortress on the River Ad, called "DunAd".

"On certain dates of the Celtic calendar, the veil between this world and the otherworld is at its thinnest. One is the summer solstice or St. John’s eve. According to one source “this was also the night when the serpents of the island would roll themselves into a hissing, writhing ball in order to engender the ‘glain’, also called the ’serpent’s egg’, ’snake stone’, or ‘Druid’s egg’. Anyone in possession of this hard glass bubble would wield incredible magical powers. Even Merlyn himself (accompanied by his black dog) went in search of it, according to one ancient Welsh story.”

Another source calls it the “adders egg”. It continues, “One particular association is the Glain Neidr, which translates variously as ‘glass of the serpents’, snake-stone, adder’s stone or adder’s egg - it was also known as Maen Magl. This was an amulet sacred to Druids in Wales, worn by them on a chain around the neck, that was supposed to possess many virtues. It had many healing powers, and especially for ailments of the eye; it could ensure that the owner was victorious over his enemies; it allowed seeing of future events; it could be a powerful poison; in some circumstances it also gave diverse powers such as finding hidden treasure or making the wearer invisible.”
