My hagstone

You literally peer through its eye



A dark grey rough stone with a hole worn through it, a hagstone, very strongly resembling a face, with the hole appearing exactly where the eye would be, held in front of a green forest canopy.
Oh my goodness, this hagstone was an incredible, magical find.

So, Abby and I were on a trip to Dronfield, England, a possible place to move to that's right beside Sheffield (the main goal, but easily travel-toable, or even walk-toable or cycleable from Dronfield), and I'd discovered several parks inside of which there was a shallow stream running through. A shallow stream with easily navigable, seemingly common ways of getting down to it! And it was like 28°, I was wearing sandals, and my feet were just SHOUTING to be in that water.

And aw yus (YouTube link), we followed a trail down to the stream, and sat down there for a few minutes, just... feeling the cool-

Ok, getting a bit distracted there, sorry, it felt incredible, anyways. The hagstone! So after relaxing for a minute, of course, like any goblin-type person, I set about looking at the rocks in the water, seeing if there were any "cool ones" poking around. Found a few actually, featured in this video (also YouTube)! So anyways, me being me, I was talking to the Spirits of the forest there, and talking to them about hoping to find a hagstone! There were a few near candidates (see that last video), and I was mentioning to the Spirits that I was looking for something a bit "scraggly", a bit rough. Like, there's smooth, elegant hagstones, but I wanted something a bit more "haggish", something that when you saw it you'd say "wow, that is a hag's hagstone right there". See Sacred Hags Oracle, scraggly is kinda my aesthetic, bringing scraggly to the side of good.

So the Spirits brought me to the other side of the entrance incline, a few steps downstream, and guided me directly to this, this... absolutely incredible hagstone! This looks like a face, EXACTLY like a primape's face (primate?), and even with a turtle face coming out from the side, my Spirit Guide! And it's scraggly, it's got a fairly smooth, but fairly rough shape, it has a LITERAL FACE, and to look through it, you LITERALLY LOOK THROUGH THE EYE OF ITS FACE! The back is inexplicably smooth, making it ideal for holding against your face when peering through the primape's eye. It's absolutely incredible. The face is rough, haggish, and has an indent above the eyes right where your third eye is located, it's beyond incredible! It's even chewing on a tiny stone, which appears unattached and just wedged in the mouth, and I will be leaving it there until such time it falls out on its own, and the ape spits out its chewing pebble. Very haggish ^_^

Added note, I've been speaking with the Spirits of the forest from afar here (from home, about a 2 hour trip), and They have been helping me type this up. Thank You so much Spirits, this gift is incredible, SO much incredible! Thank You so much again :D :D :D :D

It is said that when you peer through a hagstone, you can see into the Feywild, so hopefully you can see something through that third picture.

Such a magical gift, thank You again ^_^

Given to me on June 19, 2025 		A somewhat rough, dark grey stone held in front a tree canopy in the background, resembling a primate's face, with the hole through the stone appearing exactly where the ape's right eye would be located. The left side of the face, or to the right from your perspective, the face is worn away and a turtle head with its mouth open is coming from the side, seemingly from behind the ape due to it being located further back, and the cupped mouth of the ape is gripping a pointy stone, pointed downwards to also appear as a tooth. Indents in the stone make up the turtle's eye, and another one appears right where your third eye would be located, above and between the two eyes.
The back of the hagstone, with the opening being angled to the right, appearing as though a brow to further resemble an eye opening. It's slightly rough here and there, but has a mostly smooth surface.The camera's focus changed to that of the canopy behind it, so that you can see clearly the leaves, and a white flower through the eye of the hagstone.

Moar Hagstones!


And then... we visited Brighton, and learned that they have absolutely *incredible* beaches, not covered in sand, but in unbelievably smooth pebbles. Pebbles that the saltwater and surf has worn a hole through many of. And in our very first visit to Brighton with a housemate several weeks ago, I discovered this fact, and found one for that friend. On the 2026 March of the Mermaids (FaceBook), I was invited there by friends, and showed up in town several hours early to spend some time basking on the beach, playing in the surf, and of course, searching for hagstones. And it paid out in spades! I was speaking with the local water Spirits throughout, and they offered me up a healthy variety, one that even had two holes through it!

So the double-hole Hagstone will be mine of the set, to go with the original, and the remainder will find their way into the shop (with the Spirit's blessing), to eventually find their way to lucky finders who want the searching taken care of for them :D 		A set of 10 small hagstones of various shades of white, tan, and grey, with varying sizes of holes that go through the stone, laying on a floral patterned grey sheet.

The first side of the hagstone, with a hole slightly offset from the center, with the second hole just visible on the right side of the stone from here, being held with the other hagstones on the surface behind it.The second side of the hagstone, somewhat squarish in profile, with a smaller hole right in the center of it.The third side of the hagstone, where the two holes connect and emerge from the stone together, in a somewhat elongated single hole.
