about this blog
On this blog, you will find essays, resources, reflections, and guides on practical traditional magic and folkloric witchcraft. While centered on the practice of Hagstone Witchery, the writings here are meant to be adaptable. Other witches may draw from them, reshape them, or take inspiration for their own practices. This space is not presented as manual for magical practice, but as a library of tools, histories, and ideas you can fit into your own craft.
The Hagstone Tradition is a path of practical traditional magic informed by historical and folkloric research. Much of its foundation draws on European history, anthropology, and literature, with particular attention to the lives and practices of folk magicians, cunning folk, and alleged witches between the 12th and 17th centuries. Trial records, folklore collections, historical texts, museum archives, and surviving magical writings all contribute to its framework, alongside carefully developed tradition-specific gnosis.
What you will not find here are rigid prescriptions or claims of one “true” way to be a witch. Instead, we present a blend of practical workings, explorations of magical theory, and reflections on lived witchcraft. Take what serves you, adapt what you must, and leave the rest. May this growing library support you as you forge your path through the Witchwood.
