Question
I found a stone with a natural hole in it. Is it a hagstone, and what does it mean for me?
Answer
Yes — a natural hole running all the way through the stone is exactly what the folk name describes; those are called hagstones, adder stones, witch stones, or holey stones, and they turn up on beaches and in riverbeds where the sea has worn through a softer spot. Whether yours qualifies is the one thing the cards can't settle for you: that depends on where you picked it up and whether the hole is a true passage.
On what it means for you, the single card I pulled is The Lovers, reversed, in the seat of the current guidance.
Upright, The Lovers is about a choice made on values and a life in alignment. Reversed, it points at a misalignment — a decision you're making for the wrong reason, or two things in you pulling opposite directions. Applied to a found object, the read is about how you hold it rather than what it is. A hagstone in the old stories was a charm against what could follow you — carried for protection, or left behind where you didn't want to be followed. Reversed, the caution is that a token can easily become a decision you've outsourced: the stone ends up choosing for you what you haven't sorted out.
So, conditionally: if you picked it up and your first thought was "this is a warning, or a sign about something I'm avoiding," that's the reversed Lovers operating — the object standing in for a question you can still answer yourself. If instead you found it curious, pocketed it, and haven't attached a meaning to it, the same card reads as a gift with no instruction attached, and you get to decide what it is for rather than what it warned you about.
One step, before you decide anything: tonight, hold it up to a light and look straight through the hole, and check the spot where you found it — riverbed or beach versus a garden, a gravel path, a pile of bought stones. What comes back tells you which stone tradition you're actually in, and that answer is yours, not the cards'.
