This is such interesting timing for me. A budy of mine has been talking about going to this river where hag stones can be found, and he's about to leave the country for a family emergency. Maybe the gods have been encouraging us to get him a protection charm for his travels. Thanks for the info.
Apparently, I have a hagstone that my Mom found in the woods where she lives! She was SO excited to give it to my 6yr-old & he was almost instantly drawn to it, when he saw my Mom's pile of rocks she'd found after the last rain! 😁 And now, it's even more special than I thought!! 🥰 Thank you SO much for all this lovely info! 🤗
They make awesome magical batteries for long term spells. You can draw energy from them to power your spells and rituals so you are not using all of your own energy and feeling depleted at the end.
moving through a hole in a stone is a "inspired","gnosis", "liminal" experience found through trance, the animal you turn into while moving through the hole in the stone is supposed to help you discover everything from your animal spirit to what gods/goddesses favor you and what shapes you can take in the underworld as well as being portals. this method is commonly known within fairy folklore but it's common in other traditions as well.
I didn't even realize until today that I had a hagstone in my room for years. I found a rock with a large hole just off-center at the seaside many years ago and found it cool so I brought it home and had it sat in a little origami bowl in my room since, I had almost completely forgotten about it until I saw your video today. Heck! I had no idea what they were even called before today.
Same here. Found it on the beach when i was little, probably 35 years ago. Put it in an aquarium and have been out in the yard, back in to another aquarium etc. Then a hag stone video popped up here on yt. And i remembered this stone. Just pulled it out of my fishtank again. And now i see the stone in a whole other light. Def going to try it out. It's so beautiful and nostalgic.
This topic was so very interesting and full of fascinating information. I've not read about this type of Stone "charm" nor have I ever heard about it so your wonderful folklore tales and stories of the current use of this Hagstone were quite insightful.💡✨🕯🌌
On the east coast we call them "lucky stones," and people hang them on strings outside their coastal homes for luck. This was so interesting! I give them as gifts.
This video was enlightening. I don't personally have one but I have found a few. I have, in the past, used them though they always left on their own(I lost them over time). I was unfamiliar with their nautical uses. Thanks for that information. I also never distinguished between how they where made, just if it was machine or nature.
Thank you. I have found a ‘hag stone’. I have found about 2 or 3 actually. I never knew what I could use them for. I have the one I really like on my desk with other crystals. The others are somewhere in my other spot with more crystals. I live off the coast of California, USA about 4 hours away from LA.
I had collected several hagstones very similar to the one pictured here just because I thought they looked interesting. Then a dear friend gave me one she'd found in Wiltshire (Stonehenge county) where she grew up (I'm in the US). The stone is small, round and smooth, and black, totally different from the ones I had found here. She said they're common in Wiltshire. I didn't know for years what they were. Now I wear it on a red ribbon around my neck for protection. It's one of my most precious possessions.
I have been collecting this for the last 3years.I have around 70of them.Didn’t realise they were magic till I found your video!!.I have them indoors and out on long strings.pendants for the smaller ones?most I find on a local rural hillside..some I’ve found on car parks and driveways where gravel is used..Suffolk and Essex UK.blessings.🦋
I first heard of these stones from Coraline. I’ve been searching for some time to find one. They are, unfortunately, uncommon around here. I intend to gift it to my nephew and now my niece too as my nephew loves the film and has always believed I had magic since young. Actually even my siblings assumed I was already knowingly practicing witchcraft but I didn’t realize it until my nephew who asked me about it BECAUSE of his love of the Coraline movie. Oh but I promise not once did he think of me as evil like the “Other Mother” in that movie. He just seemed to like the idea that if I sewed button eyes on his toys that he could use them as a walkie talkie and tell me about things through them. He thought it was neat apparently. No I can’t do that but I wasn’t about to ruin a comfort for my nephew and not let him be vulnerable. He has enough troubles from school children bullying him. Anyway, so yeah, hagstones, did not know about them until that movie and looked them up to learn more. Like I said, intend to gift them to my niece and nephew now, but especially my nephew since I figure it would be sentimental to him.
I am very grateful to have found this information. I have recently found in just one or two months( 4 unique stones. I had no idea what they were , but so different I had to find out because I felt the energy. Thanks.
This is great, my mum used to take us hunting for hag stones when we were children. We just called them "stones with holes in" and we were told that they would bring us good luck. It fascinates me that all this folklore is so pervasive in certain societies still.
What lipstick are you wearing? I’ve been looking for a bloodred for agesss but I’m very particular and that shade looks stunning! Loved the video as always Hearth!!
I have just written a Hag stone note in my book of shadows, which I will be adding a bit to in a bit. I found my stone as a child on Holy Island Lindisfarne, its a section of fossil sponge, a two inch tube made out of flint. Its right in front of me now, it holds the pencil I use to write my book of shadows. Funny what good timing your video is as I was wondering it I'd finished that entry or if I was ready to start a new page.
This is so interesting, I have a hag stone on the way to me as I saw the listing and felt it’s aura call to me so I knew I had to get it and it’s so interesting to learn more while mine is on its way
Hi, very interesting tales about hagstones. I have always been fascinated by them and have been collecting them for years. I have found most of mine on the south coast of England. I tend to use them for protection. I have one under my bed to prevent nightmares and it is doing a great job. I also have one attached to my key bunch. I also have one above my front and rear doors to my house. Not forgetting about the few long strings of them dotted about my garden, so all in all I probably possess about 150 of them but tend to attach them to strings and give them away to people who enquire about them. They fascinate me and when I am on the beach they tend to jump out at me and I can't resist picking them up to join the family.
Thanks for all this information! I remembered that I have one of these stones that I got from Lake Michigan a long while ago, I just had to go looking for it while I was listening to you. Thought I had lost it, but luckily it was on the back of a self behind my fall alter things. I had only known them as seer stones and that you could see the truth or fae folk thru them, but now I know so much more about how I might be able to use it in my practice, thank you!
Great video. I found you under a search for ancient Celtic clothing. Lol. Loved the history and back lore in this video. You asked if people had hag stones. I don’t know if I do but I have a ton of sea shells with holes. I always collected them cause they are different. I will now keep an eye out for hag stones. Really enjoyed the video.
Wow girl I'm 8min in and the flood of information is real. I love it! Also something you said made me wonder: an other yt witch called mintfaery has a story telling video about waking up as a child and seeing an evil spirit (I guess they're called blood cap) sitting on the chest of her brother who was sleeping next to her. This makes me wonder if there was more to it than people "believing they were attacked by some kind of evil spirit while experiencing a nightmare"
I am looking for hag stones and have had no luck finding them. I figured if the stones find me worthy they will let me find them. Thank you for the information ❤
So here's my question, then. Occult shops sell hag stones and things of that nature, do you recommend finding your own? Or would picking one up from a shop be okay as well? I've been hesitant to get one at all simply because I didn't know anything about them; only that they were utilized for protection. So I appreciate this video very much, thank you Hearth!
I love this one thank you! I use the one I found to check the fairy garden from time to time. Hangs next to my evil eye wind chime the rest of the time
I can see how the knots would work with weather it’s like a form of active manifestation a visual form that can help you believe and trust in your process
Yesterday I went in the creek in my backyard looking for one. I ended up giving up, and today I went back upstream, and I went just a little bit further than last time and I found one. And the thing I find interesting is that hagstones are something that have no magical property of sold. To find a hagstone is a gift from the gods or spirits, so if you buy one, it does not have the same affect
Still looking for a hagstone. This was really interesting thank you. Another thing I picked up on was about wearing your clothes inside out as protection. I wonder if this is why if we put on clothes inside out as a child by accident my Mum and Aunt would tell us that we have to keep them like that all day :-)
In Germany we call them Hühner Gott. The translation is God of Chickens. They are said to keep you from drowning if you carry one in your pocket or as necklace
I believe I was gifted a hag stone, their was a hag stone just sitting at my backdoor porch. Around a month later their was another one in the same spot Any thoughts on this or who or how I can find out. No a neighbor or friend didn't leave it.
Love hag stones, I’m a witchling & have starting watching/listening to Hearth while I’m working, I’m worried that when I come to the end of the videos I’ll have nothing as good & informative to listen to. Can you recommend any other TH-cam videos or podcasts that I can listen to?
Found 2 on holiday one was not a stone but cork the other looks like some volcanic rock. I was purposely looking so maybe they found me lol. Great vid on the origins and beliefs well put together. My wife has become interested in Tarot cards some of her readings are spot on, she does it for fun and gets comfort from it. I’ve always been superstitious not madly but respectful. Are you allowed to alter the stones etc. I’d like to wear mine but the stone is bulky, the cork is wood so not sure if it instils the same properties. What do you think 🤔 cheers
I wish I could get a answer to my question PLEASE! I have recently been going through a very difficult time I was outside crying and as I was going back into the house a hag stone was sitting on the ground right at my back door. I don’t work with fairies or gnomes. Would they possibly leave a gift like that?
I really like these kind of stone magic that we can find instead of buying may I suggest about seeglass next maybe if you feel like talking about it Love your videos thanks for all the useful interesting info🤍🤍🤍🤍
in relation to what you were saying about knot magic, do you think that might be where the speed measurement of knots might come from today, or is that just a coincidence?
I have several hagstones. I live in Oregon, USA, and find them frequently along our coast. One headstone even found its way to me from the UK! My altar was desecrated by a horrible roommate and my hagstones cracked in half-she was fired from her job the next day and moved out within the week! I posted about the situation in an online group and was sent a double hagstone from the UK that has a unique shape and fits PERFECTLY in my casting hand when my index finger is extended!
Oregon resident here as well, with the same experience of finding multiple hagstones along our beautiful coastline! I have my own personal collection now, as well as giving some as gifts to my friends :)
A month ago I was cleaning out the front rock-flower beds and found a hagstone! Right in front of our porch, where the roof runoff is, we have a bed of just rocks (I do sometimes put potted plants there). I guess since we've lived here the rain has been hitting this little rock just right. I was so shocked when I found it, I set it aside not knowing what to do with a hagstone or how they worked, so thank you for this very informative video!!
My mum has always kept a pile of hag stones at the entrance to our house, on the outside. She's self-professed "not a superstitious person" but growing up in the Isle of man she always kept some of that folk superstitions In her
I have a specific small hagstone hung on red ribbon that I wear for protection when I leave my home. Knot magic is also incorporated into this item. I have strands of hagstones hung by my home entrances again for protection & incorporating knot magic sort of like witches ladders. I place hagstones on each windowsill too. I also have one in my mother jar of protection oil. I have always found my own, sometimes on paths in ancient woodlands nowhere near water. I have found them to be very powerful for protection work
Thank you for this pleasant and informative video. As a landlocked sea witch I miss being closer to the sea and I never have found a hagstone of my own. I see them for sale online but I've heard Hagstones have to be found or given as a gift in order to use their magickal properties. What is your opinion on finding one's own hagstone over buying one?
My daughter and I were walking on the lakeshore at sunset one day, we were treasure hunting for sea glass. I have always wanted to find a Hagstone. We were walking and I was looking down and there they were! Two perfect hagstones, they were literally touching each other. One was bigger and one a little smaller, perfect for me and my daughter! They were gifts, meant for us. I made a necklace for them, one for me and one for my daughter, we never take them off and never will. Their power is strong.
The belief that seerstones can help you see truth or see more clearly actually might have been inspired by the real-life phenomenon. I, as a very near-sighted person, have noticed since I was a child that when I look through a small hole, my vision becomes better - not perfect, but just a bit crisper. It has something to do with the way light refracts when passing through a small hole, maybe similar to how primitive cameras work. I can imagine an ancient nearsighted person, who had no idea of glasses or somesuch, looking through a seerstone and being amazed at the way their vision magically improved.
If you do a search for "finger to see better" (I know, I know, it sounds weird), the link to the online newspaper the Independent uk (the first site I found when doing the search) explains this phenomena extremely well. If you can make a hole small enough, as explained on that site, text actually comes into sharp relief. As a nearsighted person with worsening astigmatism I was shocked at how clear my vision was using that technique. I'd never thought about hagstones in the way you describe, but it's very possible that you are spot on!
This is called a pinhole. It helps center the light on your eye. This is basically the roughest pair of glasses. When you go to an eye exam and you see less than 20/40, you are given a paddle with little holes to look through. That’s a pinhole. We’ve been doing it forever
Form when you originally posted this to now my husband found us a hag stone and I'm SO excited, been looking for one since spiderwick came out LOL. It's great relistening to this, so thorough on information!
I found a hagstone in a stream in New Jersey, USA, football shaped about two inches long. I wear it around my neck every day, too much history behind these stones to ignore it. Thanks for the information, I feel really lucky to find one. I heard that you don't find a Hagstone, a Hagstone finds you.
Love this info ,iv always collected stones as a kid I loved nature,didn't realise then I was building tools for a life of magic xxxlove your channel,your doing so well at your life's projects, well done,loving g the podcasts x
This is such interesting timing for me. A budy of mine has been talking about going to this river where hag stones can be found, and he's about to leave the country for a family emergency. Maybe the gods have been encouraging us to get him a protection charm for his travels. Thanks for the info.

The part on hag riding gives new context to Hagrid and his way with animals.
That’s what I was thinking
They make awesome magical batteries for long term spells. You can draw energy from them to power your spells and rituals so you are not using all of your own energy and feeling depleted at the end.
moving through a hole in a stone is a "inspired","gnosis", "liminal" experience found through trance, the animal you turn into while moving through the hole in the stone is supposed to help you discover everything from your animal spirit to what gods/goddesses favor you and what shapes you can take in the underworld as well as being portals. this method is commonly known within fairy folklore but it's common in other traditions as well.
Where can I find more info on this specified topic of hagstones, I appreciate your informative input tnx.
I didn't even realize until today that I had a hagstone in my room for years.

I would love to find a hagstone! I wish walking through a giant one is all it took to get rid of chronic illness 😅
If it did, I’d make a trip with you wherever the big rock was and we could walk together
I found my first hag stone in my life 2 days ago and now you upload this video. How magical! 💖
I'll be heading to my Great Lakes to find mine!
This topic was so very interesting and full of fascinating information. I've not read about this type of Stone "charm" nor have I ever heard about it so your wonderful folklore tales and stories of the current use of this Hagstone were quite insightful.💡✨🕯🌌

I absolutely loved this video! Please do more on folk magic. Is there a book you would recommend with similar content? Thank you! 💜 🌿

I'd actually never heard of hagstones until this. Thanks for teaching me about something so totally new!

What lipstick are you wearing? I’ve been looking for a bloodred for agesss but I’m very particular and that shade looks stunning! Loved the video as always Hearth!!
I have just written a Hag stone note in my book of shadows, which I will be adding a bit to in a bit.

i have about two-three hagstones that my grandpa found for me & i rlly liked the necklace idea!

This was such a informative video! I don't hv any hag stones but I will be going to the beach soon and will definitely be looking for some.
New Rule for the Hearth Witch drinking game; take a drink each time Hearth says 'years' in that amazing accent of hers
So interesting!! Thank you🖤🖤
I am looking for hag stones and have had no luck finding them. I figured if the stones find me worthy they will let me find them. Thank you for the information ❤
I am so glad you made this video I wanted to know more about hagstones because I have about 6 here at home.
Wow this was so interesting I never knew what they where called I have several of them I collected from my visit to Ocean they are on my fairy table
Interesting topic ...love watching your channel ....By the way love love Ur earrings classy
Folk magic is fascinating. Great earrings too!
So here's my question, then. Occult shops sell hag stones and things of that nature, do you recommend finding your own? Or would picking one up from a shop be okay as well? I've been hesitant to get one at all simply because I didn't know anything about them; only that they were utilized for protection. So I appreciate this video very much, thank you Hearth!
I just love your channel! I learn so much, thank you! Where can I listen to your podcast? I couldn't find you on Amazon.
I love these educational videos with historical context. ❤️ It must take significant research to make. 👏👏👏
I love this one thank you! I use the one I found to check the fairy garden from time to time. Hangs next to my evil eye wind chime the rest of the time
Love those earrings!
I can see how the knots would work with weather it’s like a form of active manifestation a visual form that can help you believe and trust in your process
I know there is an entity in my space when I have nightmares. My dreams tend to be very interactive with something other than myself.
I have a few that I've found over time on my trips to the ocean. I have them hanging in my windows for protection.
Yesterday I went in the creek in my backyard looking for one. I ended up giving up, and today I went back upstream, and I went just a little bit further than last time and I found one.

You are my favourite teacher!
Still looking for a hagstone. This was really interesting thank you. Another thing I picked up on was about wearing your clothes inside out as protection. I wonder if this is why if we put on clothes inside out as a child by accident my Mum and Aunt would tell us that we have to keep them like that all day :-)
I'm astrologically a water/fire dominated person and I think hagstones are lovely and I just like having them around:))
Very common down in the south west of UK.
In German, they are called "chickens' God" which comes from when they used to be put in chicken's nests for fertility
Endlich weiß ich warum die so genannt wurden! Danke :)
I love your look today :)
Thanks for sharing! What video software do you use? I’d love to be able to make a cool intro like you have.
Thank you for this video it was very informative . Blessings
Oh my god your EARRINGS 🖤🙌🏼🖤🙌🏼🖤🙌🏼
Hi Thanks great video 😊
Thank you for all this great info and spectacular energy.
In Germany we call them Hühner Gott. The translation is God of Chickens. They are said to keep you from drowning if you carry one in your pocket or as necklace
So a hagstone came from farmers casting protection spells from witches & now witches use them?
Still love the content
I believe I was gifted a hag stone, their was a hag stone just sitting at my backdoor porch. Around a month later their was another one in the same spot Any thoughts on this or who or how I can find out. No a neighbor or friend didn't leave it.

I don’t work with fairies or gnomes. Would they possibly leave a gift like that?
where did you get your earrings?
If you watch all the way through she says their from regalrose.
I have a hag stone for protection...
If you have used a hagstone for a spell, can it then not be used for any other thing/spell evt.?
Did anyone else find it interesting that common folk used hagstones and spells, witchcraft, for protection against witches??? lol
Do I have to charge it or does it just work by itself?
I really like these kind of stone magic that we can find instead of buying may I suggest about seeglass next maybe if you feel like talking about it
Love your videos thanks for all the useful interesting info🤍🤍🤍🤍
in relation to what you were saying about knot magic, do you think that might be where the speed measurement of knots might come from today, or is that just a coincidence?
Jen trouve dans les chemins de fer
I love your lipstick 💄,
Good shkw!
No I have see them
That nightmare is called ,lietuvēns’ in Latvian mythology, and they are believed to be children or babies, who died without being baptized.
♥️
I've never used them
Where I'm from, those stones are called hen gods, and are placed in chicken coops to protect the birds
No one:
Me: *thinking the thumbnail is a horse nose*
I have several hagstones. I live in Oregon, USA, and find them frequently along our coast. One headstone even found its way to me from the UK! My altar was desecrated by a horrible roommate and my hagstones cracked in half-she was fired from her job the next day and moved out within the week! I posted about the situation in an online group and was sent a double hagstone from the UK that has a unique shape and fits PERFECTLY in my casting hand when my index finger is extended!
Oregon resident here as well, with the same experience of finding multiple hagstones along our beautiful coastline! I have my own personal collection now, as well as giving some as gifts to my friends :)
A month ago I was cleaning out the front rock-flower beds and found a hagstone! Right in front of our porch, where the roof runoff is, we have a bed of just rocks (I do sometimes put potted plants there). I guess since we've lived here the rain has been hitting this little rock just right. I was so shocked when I found it, I set it aside not knowing what to do with a hagstone or how they worked, so thank you for this very informative video!!
My mum has always kept a pile of hag stones at the entrance to our house, on the outside. She's self-professed "not a superstitious person" but growing up in the Isle of man she always kept some of that folk superstitions In her
Ooh - so do I. Couldn’t quite explain to you why. I find them all the time at beaches - I seem to have the knack of spotting them.
I have a specific small hagstone hung on red ribbon that I wear for protection when I leave my home. Knot magic is also incorporated into this item. I have strands of hagstones hung by my home entrances again for protection & incorporating knot magic sort of like witches ladders. I place hagstones on each windowsill too. I also have one in my mother jar of protection oil. I have always found my own, sometimes on paths in ancient woodlands nowhere near water. I have found them to be very powerful for protection work
Omg hearth! Thanks! I always love your videos!
Thank you for this pleasant and informative video. As a landlocked sea witch I miss being closer to the sea and I never have found a hagstone of my own. I see them for sale online but I've heard Hagstones have to be found or given as a gift in order to use their magickal properties. What is your opinion on finding one's own hagstone over buying one?
I'll be going to the beach this weekend. I usually find at least one hag stone on every visit. I'd be happy to send you one. No creepiness intended.
@@lizzardly I'd be happy to give you my PO box address if you find one! 🤞🏼
I have both found and given hagstones. Its what you use them for.
I did find one!
My daughter and I were walking on the lakeshore at sunset one day, we were treasure hunting for sea glass. I have always wanted to find a Hagstone. We were walking and I was looking down and there they were! Two perfect hagstones, they were literally touching each other. One was bigger and one a little smaller, perfect for me and my daughter! They were gifts, meant for us. I made a necklace for them, one for me and one for my daughter, we never take them off and never will. Their power is strong.
The belief that seerstones can help you see truth or see more clearly actually might have been inspired by the real-life phenomenon. I, as a very near-sighted person, have noticed since I was a child that when I look through a small hole, my vision becomes better - not perfect, but just a bit crisper. It has something to do with the way light refracts when passing through a small hole, maybe similar to how primitive cameras work. I can imagine an ancient nearsighted person, who had no idea of glasses or somesuch, looking through a seerstone and being amazed at the way their vision magically improved.
If you do a search for "finger to see better" (I know, I know, it sounds weird), the link to the online newspaper the Independent uk (the first site I found when doing the search) explains this phenomena extremely well. If you can make a hole small enough, as explained on that site, text actually comes into sharp relief. As a nearsighted person with worsening astigmatism I was shocked at how clear my vision was using that technique.
I'd never thought about hagstones in the way you describe, but it's very possible that you are spot on!
@@1005corvuscorax thank you for the ifo rec! I'll be sure to check it out
that's how pinhole glasses work too
This is called a pinhole. It helps center the light on your eye. This is basically the roughest pair of glasses. When you go to an eye exam and you see less than 20/40, you are given a paddle with little holes to look through. That’s a pinhole. We’ve been doing it forever
Form when you originally posted this to now my husband found us a hag stone and I'm SO excited, been looking for one since spiderwick came out LOL. It's great relistening to this, so thorough on information!
I have a few. We went to Michigan at the great lakes and we found some. Then I got a smaller one from Hook Penninsula in Ireland, that one I can wear.
I found a hagstone in a stream in New Jersey, USA, football shaped about two inches long. I wear it around my neck every day, too much history behind these stones to ignore it. Thanks for the information, I feel really lucky to find one. I heard that you don't find a Hagstone, a Hagstone finds you.
Love this info ,iv always collected stones as a kid I loved nature,didn't realise then I was building tools for a life of magic xxxlove your channel,your doing so well at your life's projects, well done,loving g the podcasts x
