About this product
Hold it to one eye at dusk and look through. That is the old custom with a hag stone: a gray flint pebble bored clean through by nothing but the patient work of water and time, strung on a length of waxed leather cord.
No drill or tool has touched the hole. The sea alone made it, over years or decades of tumbling against sand and other stone, and that natural origin is the whole point. Each stone differs in shape, weight and the exact angle of its hole.
Hag stones, also called adder stones or holy stones, are among the oldest protective charms of the British Isles, carried by fishermen and hung by cottage doors for generations. Folklore holds that looking through the hole at dusk lets you glimpse what is normally hidden, and that a hag stone hung at a threshold turns aside ill fortune and the attentions of the fae.
Details
- Natural gray flint pebble, holed by the sea
- Strung on waxed leather cord
- Each stone unique in shape, weight and hole
How to use
Wear it on the cord, or hang it just inside a door or window. Some keep it for looking through, holding the hole to one eye at dusk or under a full moon, as the old custom describes. It is sold as a curiosity, with no medical or scientific claims.
A small piece of the shoreline's patience, for your own threshold.
