The oldest amulet originated in pagan times, and is revered to this day.
Why is a stone with a hole called the chicken god?

The ancient Slavs had a tradition of putting such a stone in the chicken coop, as well as other objects with holes - pots without a bottom, for example. It was believed that such a talisman protects livestock from evil spirits.
According to another, Vedic version, the name “chicken” comes from the word “chicken”, which is consonant with the name Chur. So the Slavs called the spirit of their ancestors, guarding the border between the living and the dead worlds. “Chur, me, Chur” - everyone heard from grandparents, from films, from books.
Sometimes they call such a pebble canine god, canine happiness, snake venom, witch stone, perun arrow, thunder stone, eye. From an archaeological and ethnographic point of view, the chicken god is apotropaemus, i.e. A "repellent" talisman, which is credited with the magical power to cast out evil spirits.
Such a stone symbolizes a window or a door to the house, and in order to enter it, evil spirits need to seep through the hole, which is impossible if the talisman speak and “lock”.
Where can I find a stone with a hole?
The "happy" hallmark of the chicken god is the hole in the middle. This hole has a natural origin, it is turned by running water of a river, lake or sea. As a rule, such pebbles carries water ashore, where they can be found.
There is a belief according to which the first chicken god that is found is not left to itself, but is given back. You need to look at the water through a hole, make a wish and throw it back into the sea, lake or river.
