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.

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 :)

The part on hag riding gives new context to Hagrid and his way with animals.

That’s what I was thinking

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.

I'll be heading to my Great Lakes to find mine!

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.

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

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

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 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.

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

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!

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

Great info!

I’ve been looking forward to this one! 💖

Fantastic info - thanks so much.

Great video!😃 thanks!

So interesting!! Thank you🖤🖤

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!

Very interesting and very well done!!

Omg hearth! Thanks! I always love your videos!

This was a great video, very informative!!!

Thank you for information about hagstones . We never stop learning .

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.

You are my favourite teacher!

Loved this video! And your earrings are amazing!

I love your channel so much. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. It is very much appreciated.

I love how thorough you are presenting the details of the topics of your videos.

Loved this video. Very informative. I love hag stones and have several.

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!

Thank you for this video it was very informative . Blessings

Yes just found one yesterday!!! Can’t wait to work with it.

I am so glad you made this video I wanted to know more about hagstones because I have about 6 here at home.

Thank you for such an informative video 🙏

I found my first hag stone in my life 2 days ago and now you upload this video. How magical! 💖

Girl ur rockn those earrings..fn love these videos...I'm addicted

I love these educational videos with historical context. ❤️ It must take significant research to make. 👏👏👏

Folk magic is fascinating. Great earrings too!

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

Your earrings are stunning!

Thanks for the episode Hearth! I've been excited for this one for a while. I went scavenger hunting for a hagstone two years back and came back with a big chonker. Hoping to find some littler ones for charms in my area. Also if you lose your lists, like I do, then put them on your phone notes and date them.

This was really interesting because I never knew any of this before! Thanks!

Interesting topic ...love watching your channel ....By the way love love Ur earrings classy

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 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.💡✨🕯🌌

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.

Thank you from France for this very interesting content🌠

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

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.

Thanks for all the information! I just went to the NC coast and have found a few and some seem to be corol and some seem to be stone. Very cool thank you so much! 😊

This was an awesome video, thank you, I find several of these in different sizes almost every time I go to the river, thanks for the video 👍👍

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

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.

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.

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"

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.

Thank you for video

Love those earrings!

This was very informative and the first I heard of hagstones, I will have a more watchful eye from now on

i loved this very in-depth. i do have hag stones used for protection and those with large holes viewing . i do not use red thread for those i wear but leather strip like a shoe string .plain will have knots .more involved will have an odd number of beads knotted on . beads are either wood or stone . thank you for doing this its nice to get a short but well done lecture on the craft . i always save these . to review later thank you

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.

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.

Thank you!!!

Excellent!! I know what to do with my hag stones now, I'll use them for protection against negative energy, 😊

Thank you 🙏🏻 This was very informative. I was aware of some of this info but not all. I have a lovely hagstone that was gifted to me that I made into a hanging by weaving hessian thread to hang it by. It’s hanging on my apothecary. Blessings 🙏🏻

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!!

Thank you 😊

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.

Hi Thanks great video 😊

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 ❤

Gratitude 💕✨

very interesting, thank you. funnily enough, i found my first hagstone yesterday, in a garden border in the apartment i just moved to. i considered it a good sign.

You look amazing! The most beautiful witch I ve ever seen!

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 love your look today :)

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

nice video thanks id love to find a hagstone.

A beautiful hag stone found me today. It is donut shaped and the hole is worn from both sides, which has me scratching my head. It is the most beautiful example I've seen. I was walking with a feeling of gratitude for the beauty of the Park I was in and thinking about the Elemental energy present at this amazing place and it found me. I am once again very grateful and I will never give it away. I have to look and see if there is a certain rope and way to tie it if worn as a necklace. Thank you for the great information, be well

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

I’m a third generation, that I know of, witch, first generation born in USA. Mother born in Scotland, grandmother born in Ireland and other than family did not talk about it. You have a interesting following 🧙🏻‍♂️You have a blessed day

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 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 found a hagstone when I was just a wee kid and thought it was so cool I have it still. Just recently heard about fairy stones and was just like 😃🤯 for now it's just been pretty decoration on our mantel 😋

There's an app called To-Do List and it's fantastic. I have ADHD, so I remember nothing. It helps soooo much!

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.

Hi 😍 This is so fascinating!! How do you close the doors from other realms?

I LOVE your earrings!! I'm getting some labyrnth vibes lol Where did you get them?

This comes at the right moment

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.

Thanks for sharing! What video software do you use? I’d love to be able to make a cool intro like you have.

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.

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 :-)

The info on the nightmare is interesting. Mainly because I have had a repetitive nightmare before, the same one once or twice a year. I don't know anyone that hates me AND knows how to cause something like that. Some "thing" was causing them. I finally defeated it in my dream state. Had to get beyond pi$$ed in that dream to do it, but so far it's never come back.

Perfect timing for this videa, My intuition lead me to a hagstone that's been 20 feet from my house... I've lived here for a year lmao. Anyways this helps me greatly Edit**** Literally found a second smaller one like 20 minutes later and just turned it into a necklace lmao. My luck today is weird (they were very close to each other I went back to look in the same spot and found the second one.... Might take a third look /hj) oh and also, i live in the middle of nowhere farmland. There's no coasts near me, they were most likely formed by rain, possibly dripping off of the nearby trees or just rain in general.

Still love the content

Hi yes I've had 1 hag stone my son found on the beach years ago when he was only little. I treasure it not only for being a hag stone but how he gave me it at age 4 " look mummy a magic stone for you " ( I'd never told him what hag stones are). Just a few days ago we returned to our beach and on the way told my son who is now nearly 13 " I hope we find more hag stones like you found when you where little" after a storm lots of sand had been washed away and we found about 6 hag stones ( not as polished as the first one but hag stones none the less) we also found lots of bones I've looked into and ironicly they are cattle bones by the looks. I think cows must wash down to the ocean from rivers or something. So far I've only kept my first hag stone on my alter as a special stone from my little boy. The hag stones I've found recently I've tied in a group and hug them on the side of my alter. I look forward to the day I'm drawn to do something with them.

Thank you for all this great info and spectacular energy.

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 KZread videos or podcasts that I can listen to?

I have a hagstone that i found on a beach in Creet (a greec island) when I was on vacation
