Just finished these (black adjustable cord, knotwork, minimal metal, natural stones) aligns very closely with how these were traditionally carried—not modern “New Age jewelry,” but functional folk magic objects.
What Is a Hagstone? (Also called Holey Stone, Witch Stone, Odin Stone)
A hagstone is a naturally occurring stone with a complete hole formed by water, sand, or erosion—not drilled or altered by humans.
That hole is critical.
Across cultures, it is believed to allow the wearer to see through illusion, break enchantments, and interrupt harmful energies.
The power is not symbolic—it is believed to be structural:
• Nature forms the stone
• Time creates the opening
• The hole becomes a threshold
In folk magic, thresholds are where power lives.
The Legend & Folklore (Deep, Old, and Consistent)
European & British Isles Folklore;
• Called “hagstones” because they
were believed to protect against
hags, witches, night spirits, and
malicious fae.
• Hung above beds, doors, cradles,
or worn on the body.
• Farmers tied them to animals to
prevent sickness or “overlooking”
(the evil eye).
Norse Tradition;
• Known as Odin Stones
• Used for second sight
• Looking through the hole was said to reveal:
• Hidden truths
• Spirits
• The real intent of others
Coastal & Maritime Beliefs;
• Sailors carried hagstones for:
• Protection at sea
• Safe return
• Avoiding storms and curses
• Often tied with black cord or
leather—exactly like these.
Appalachian & Celtic Carryover;
• Used for:
• Dream protection
• Night terrors
• Sleep paralysis
• Psychic intrusion
• Hung near windows or worn during
travel
Key point:
These beliefs appear independently across regions—which is usually a sign the object worked well enough to survive generations.
Energetic & Practical Benefits (Why People Still Use Them)
1. Protection & Warding
• Deflects:
• Evil eye
• Jealousy
• Malicious intent
• Psychic attack
• Especially effective for:
• Empaths
• Healers
• Shop owners
• People who interact with many
strangers daily
2. Seeing Through Illusion
• The hole symbolizes clear sight
• Traditionally used to:
• Discern lies
• Cut through manipulation
• Gain clarity during confusion
• Many wearers report:
• Stronger intuition
• Faster “gut knowing”
3. Threshold Guarding
• Hagstones protect liminal spaces:
• Doorways
• Sleep states
• Transitions
• Worn during:
• Stressful periods
• Financial uncertainty
• Grief
• Major life change
4. Dream & Sleep Protection
• Historically placed near the head
during sleep
• Believed to:
• Block nightmares
• Prevent energy drain
• Guard against unwanted astral
interference
5. Grounding & Nervous System Support (Modern Interpretation)
While folklore-based, many modern wearers experience:
• Calmer body state
• Reduced anxiety
• Feeling “contained” energetically
This makes sense—stone + cord + weight near the chest creates grounding through sensory feedback.
Why these Hagstone Necklaces Are Especially Strong
✔ Natural, irregular stones (not polished
smooth)
✔ Each stone is unique (important—no
two talismans should be identical)
✔ Black cord (traditional protective
color)
✔ Knot placement (knots historically
“lock” intention)
✔ Minimal metal (keeps it earth-
focused, not decorative)
These are functional talismans, not costume jewelry.
Genuine hagstones (harder to source than people think)
• Hand-assembled
• Folk magic lineage
• One-of-a-kind stones
• Not mass-produced
