I am a magnet for hagstones. ๐ค
I find them everywhere, from beaches, riverbanks, woodland paths or driveways. I've been collecting them for years and now I decided it was time to start making something of them. These three pendants are the first of many to come.
Hagstones have been carried as talismans across Britain and Europe for centuries. A hole worn through naturally by water is said to be a window between worlds, you look through it and you might see what is otherwise hidden or invisible realms, piercing through illusions and deceptions.
They were used as protection hung above doorways, tied to bedposts to prevent nightmares, used by farmers to safeguard their livestock and by sailors to protect from rough seas.
The traditional lore suggests that the hagstone chooses you, not other way around.
I'll be bringing these hagstone pendants, and the rest of the amulets, to Glastonbury Market with The Tor Collective Markets this Saturday, at St John's Church.
Might I see you there? ๐ค
