Lodestone and Magnetic Sand Questions and Answers

Unread post by **Southernmom** » Tue Jan 24, 2017 11:26 am

I have a quick question about my lodestone.

When I received it I set it up properly, and wrote a petition paper for steady work-well it worked GREAT as my husband got a very good bit of steady work and reliable income. However, now he is disabled and I was wondering if I can write a new petition for the same lodestone-and if so what do I do with the old petition paper and should I re apply appropriate oils, etc? Thanks in advance!

I purchased some lodestones from a scientific company. None of them are magnetized. Magnetic sand does nothing. Pairing them with strong magnets does nothing. Is there a way to remagnitize them? Besides that, I'm going to order some from here now, but I'd like the ones I have to also work. What a pain!

I'm planning on doing a honey jar for love, commitment and eventually marriage. I have two sets of male/female lodestones. Two are really small but are very magnetic to each other. The two larger ones don't seem to be as magnetic to each other. So my question is should I use the smaller ones because they seem to attract better ? Does the size of them matter?

Thanks !!

Verdelet,

Lodestone, as a mineral, is Magnetite.

Not all Magnetitie is magnetized or ever was (hence your concept of "remagnetizing" the rocks you have may be founded on a false premise).

Lightning strikes are the way that Magnetitie becomes magnetized in Nature. Once magnetized, Lodestones can hold a charge for many years. I suppose that you could jolt your "dead" Magnetites with a stunning amount of electricity and magnetize them. Good luck.

Cat,

That was going to be my second option! I'll probably just buy some from you, though.

Greetings..
I recently acquired a package of small paired lodestones because I couldn't get the large single one. However, my intended work with the lodestone is for assistance in securing a rental property.
(Thus far for this work I've got a road opener candle, Our Lady of Loreto candle, Van Van Oil, Crown of Success Oil and Solomon's Seal Root).
I've perused the LM forums regarding Lodestones and from what I can gather, the paired ones are only used for love and romantic-related situations.
So my dilemma/questions are as follows: can I still use one (or both?) of them for the specific type of work I'm trying to do? Can I split them up, or is that not recommended since they're a pair? If it's better that I keep them together (and if that's even an option), is there anything different I should do since I'd be working with the pair rather than a single one? And if it's ok to use each separately, which would be better suited to this work-male or female?
I apologize for so many questions. I just want to make sure I'm working properly with-and with the necessary respect for-these lodestones. I don't have the time or money to get a single large one at this point, and since I have the pair already, it would be great if I can still work with one or both of them in regards to my specific petition.
I appreciate any assistance y'all can give me!

Hello, SeraphinaSwampWitch,

If this were me, I would make one to represent me (use the lodestone that represents your gender) and the other to represent the rental properties.

So, yes, use them as a pair.

Hi,

I think this is the correct area to post my questions but if it is not then I apologize. I'm considering getting a pair of lodestones (male/female) here from LM, I've read a few pages/post here on how to handle them and I just want to make certain I understand everything correctly. Once I order them, they come together already paired up and attached to one another, correct? I then separate them, cleanse them in whiskey & name them, right? After that I anoint them with oil, would something like Come to me oil be acceptable? We just split last week so it hasn't been that long. I should add I'm doing a honey jar spell as well but I'm more trying to keep us connected and keep the flame alive while we both get through the current rough patches in our lives. Would I place the loaded tones on top of a photograph of us? Do I write anything on it? Birthday? Names? I apologize if these are basic questions. Thank you in advance for any tips/advise or answers given!

Hello everyone,

I recently ordered a Love Me spell kit from LM, and I ordered a separate set of large lodestones to use instead of the ones that came with it. I named them, and I already started working with them. When I was trying to identify them I just went mostly with my intuition, somehow I thought I knew exactly which one was a male and which one was a female, but now I started second guessing myself. My question is what if I was wrong and I identified lodestones incorrectly?
One of my lodestones reminds me of a triangle with a round-ish base and another one looks like a skinny rectangle with one side being pointy (or it also looks like a stretched out triangle). I thought the first one was a female, to me it had softer edges, and the second one I thought was a male, but like I said now I am questioning myself. Please let me know what you think, thank you!

Hi Riola,

According to miss cat:

In the hoodoo folk-magic tradition, as i was taught, a male lodestone is angular, irregular, long, or narrow, while a female lodestone tends toward the compact, cubical form, or has rounded edges.

Your original instinct was correct.

Good luck.

Is it okay to name a lodestone after an ancestor?

Unread post by **Miss Athena** » Sat Jul 29, 2017 1:03 pm

Hi littlewing,

Naming lodestones is a very personal choice. If you have an ancestor who was meaningful to you, naming your lodestone after them is no different than naming your child after them. It's a form of respect and acknowledgement, and perfectly acceptable.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

Hello!
I hope this is the right place to ask this- I am new here.

In the spring, I ordered a pair of male/female lodestones from LM, but wasn't ready to use them yet. In a flurry of activity and such, I misplaced them, and, as I met someone recently who has got my heart all aflutter, I thought of them, and decided it was time to work them. As soon as I decided I needed them, it was if they appeared in my desk drawer, still in their original LM packaging.

I am ready to work with them, but I have noticed that although they fit together quite snugly, they do not pull toward one another. They hold magnetic sand quite nicely, but there is no way to put them together where they will *hold*. The fit is good, there just isn't any magnetic pull that I can see. Is this an issue? Do I need a different pair? Can I still just move them together with my spell until they fit, and keep them like that? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I have a (hopefully) simple question about doing a moving lodestone spell for love. I was using a small taper candle for the work and was snuffing it every 7th of the way down - today was day 3. I lit the candle, did my thing, and then went to do some housework. I completely forgot about the candle, and came back. There is now only about a 7th of it left. Do I just keep using this candle and make it last? Should I make a new candle? Or should I just start the whole spell over again?

Regards, Shy.

Unread post by **Miss Athena** » Sun Sep 24, 2017 3:26 pm

Hi Shy22,

Welcome to the forum. When you get a chance, and presuming you wish to do so, please introduce yourself in the Introductions thread.

Sometimes when we lose focus on our work, it can call into question the importance of the wish itself. Or it can indicate you do not have the talent to perform the work. Or it can be a sign of spiritual interference. In any regard, such a lack of focus is never a good thing.

You need to pay attention to your work as you are working it. That should be the sole occupant of your mindset. If your attention is scattered, so is your energy.

In this case, finish working the candle then I would start a new one and pay more attention to it. Your chance of success is only as good as the effort you make.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi y'all, I'm a little new to this, so I hope I'm doing this right. Feel free to correct me if not. I just had a question about a folk spell I had seen on your website. There was mention of an old spell where a someone obtains the dirty underwear of another, ties it into a knot and buries it in one's backyard to stop a partner from infidelity. I have a few questions about this, if you don't mind:

1) I've also read about burying two lodestones in a piece of the partner's cloth anf burying it near the entrance of one's home to keep them close. Would combining these two make it any more effective? As in, could one put two lodestones in a pair of a partner's dirty underwear, tie it into a knot and bury it by one's entrance? Or would that be overkill?

2) Could this underwear spell work in conjunction with a honey jar spell for the same person? And sinxe we're on the topic, do the candles burned on honey jars always need to be the same color and intention?

I'm knew to rootwork and love it, but there are many nuances I'm attempting to pick up. Out here in Rhode Island, there just doesn't seem to be many practicioners to ask. Thank you very much for your time.

Hello aerias,

Since you're new to hoodoo, I'd recommend not trying to change things about spells you find without understanding why they're done the way they're done. Burying someone's underwear near your *front* door wouldn't keep them close. Burying it in the backyard does that. I suppose you could add lodestones to that spell if you wanted, but it's a powerful (simple, yes, but powerful) spell on its own, and I'd keep it the way it's written.

Yes, you can do the underwear spell in conjunction with a honey jar. If you have more questions about honey jars, please ask them at the link below so we can keep this thread about lodestones on topic:

Hey y'all...For the lodestone drawing spell must it be a china plate to rest my stone and sand on? I have to practice in my household pretty privately and even if I were to hide it under my bed I'd be concerned I'd accidentally be disturbing how it sits by shuffling it around everyday. Would a small jar be an acceptable replacement to the china plate? I could keep it well hidden and cared for in that way. Let me know what you think? Thanks!

I'm new and have a situation that maybe someone can help me with.
I was sold a single large lodestone which I was told could be used for love, which I worked with for months. After reading many of these topics I now know I need 2 (male/female).
My situation is I have strong feelings for someone that also has feelings for me but we lived across the country from one another. Now that were close by he's in a relationship. Is it wrong of me to use lodestone to attract him to me?

Hello SB1980,

Welcome to the Lucky Mojo forum. If you would like to, you're welcome to introduce yourself under the "introductions" thread.

You're right, lodestone spells used to draw two people together require two lodestones. So why not just get a second one? Lucky Mojo sells them for not very much:

Question about lodestone spells:

I performed a lodestone moving love spell about ten years ago, and nothing happened. I worked hard with it, and after nothing happened for about a year or so and I had to move, I put it in a nice box. Nothing continued to happen. I just found them the other day. I mentioned this to Deacon Millett in the course of a reading/consultation, and he suggested leaving them in a graveyard. I always take his advice, of course. What's the point in asking if you're not going to take it, right? I was wondering:

1) How do you know that a lodestone spell just didn't work out? When do you stop working them and try something else? and,
2) I particularly was wondering if leaving the lodestones together without "undoing" or deploying them somehow may have actually hindered drawing new love. They're still attached and have the magnetic steel filing attracted to them. I just didn't meet anyone until the current dude that Deacon Millett really wants me to Cut and Clear (I think he's right about that, too).

Let me know. I think there's some things I just don't "get" about lodestones, and either they're not the best kind of spell for me to work, or I messed it up somehow.

Unread post by **Sister Jean** » Sat Oct 21, 2017 5:21 pm

Hello Honeybeelight,

I'd say after a year if you haven't seen any movement whatsoever, that's a pretty solid sign that the spell just didn't work. I couldn't tell you if deploying the lodestones together hindered you finding new love; I think that would be a good question for a reader. You mention you don't "get" lodestones though; maybe they just don't "vibe" with you and the spell didn't work because of that? Not everyone is drawn to all kinds of spellwork and not all kinds of spellwork work for everyone. Just food for thought

Take care.

Unread post by **Honeybeelight** » Sat Oct 21, 2017 6:16 pm

Thank you, Sister Jean. Yes, I think maybe lodestones and maybe even open-ended spells like honey jars aren't for me. It's easier to set it and forget it if it's finished and I just have to wait. Anyway, I think I will ask Deacon Millet for suggestions after a good, solid Uncrossing and Fiery Wall (and, yes, Cut and Clear, Deacon, I need to get better). I suspect love magic in general isn't my thing. I'm tempted to try money magic, just to see if I have a gift for that!

Um...it turns out the lodestones probably worked just fine. Like a charm, in fact. I was looking at the nice box I'd placed them in. It's a gorgeous wooden box with golden tiles on it. Golden *reflective* tiles. And it's got a latch for a lock.

So I carefully, faithfully followed instructions for a spell to draw My Future Husband, placed it in a lockable mirror box, and then wondered why my Prince wasn't Coming. For a decade. I couldn't have kept True Love away more effectively if I'd tried unless I'd actually locked it and tossed away the key! It's even possible that on some level it wasn't a "mistake" at all. I sure hope My Future Husband didn't die of old age while he was waiting.

Oh, well. Time to follow advice, lay that trick, and do it correctly this time, maybe using a good spell kit or two or instructions from someone who knows what they're doing.

The lodestone link provided is very informative and I appreciate that. However, while reading the article, I noticed that different-colored lodestones are available for purchase, but when I click on the link to purchase, I can only find the black lodestones.

Considering I want to use the lodestones to attract love and lust, I'm guessing red lodestones would be appropriate, but where can I find the red lodestones in the LM catalogue or how would I go about specially ordering red lodestones?

Unread post by **RevJames** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 9:51 am

Hey Mags_and_the_Moon,

The ones in the catalog are natural, as in not painted (black). Some prefer natural/unpainted for all manner of works, though some prefer the painted as well. You could buy the natural and paint it yourself if you feel so inclined.

I have not ordered colored lodestones from LM so wait for more instruction from a moderator but its probably as simple as making a note in your order requesting the color of your choice.

Hope that clears it up a little!

I recently made a love Gris Gris and included a pair of red lodestone. Upon feeding my lodestone, I noticed that the female lodestone was not attracting any magnetic sand, while the male lodestone attracted plenty. What could this mean and should I be worried? Could this represent a sign? I'm worried and don't know what to do.I later went back and programmed and named the female stone to represent me, and the male lodestone to represent the man I desire.

briley57 --

Lodestones can and do lose their magnetism -- so this is not an unusual event. The fact that it is your stone, however, is worrying, because it might mean that someone opposes or has sapped away your natural display of magnetic attraction.

I would get a new lodestone to represent yourself and try again. Bury the old one about your home somewhere.

I received my pair of lodestones but I cannot tell which is male/female because they both are sharp. Also, when looking at the shape to determine which is which, do you look at them when they are attracted to each other? I also noticed they only attract each other at some parts.

Thanks, Miss Nikki -- and another way i have been told to distinguish them is that those with natural red rust are female (for menstrual blood) and those with natural white streaks of quartz are male (for semen).

Of course some folks don't make any kind of distinction, and some lodestones are just "lumpy." LOL!

Hello. I am about to set up my lodestone I got from my lucky mojo order for pulling in money for me.

I'm assuming I can, but wanted to make sure, can I start with a smaller amount of money like $20 and then move to a $100 by just adding the $100 underneath the same lodestone as the $20? I won't need to start anything over will I?
