Lodestone and Magnetic Sand Questions and Answers

tag227 · Unread post by **tag227** » Mon Sep 06, 2010 7:00 am

Hi All,

This may be a dumb/repeated question, so I apologize in advance.

I have heard of rootworkers talking to their lodestones. Now do any talk to their herbs and ask the spirits of nature to help them out? And when I mean spirits of nature, I mean whatever spirits give those herbs their power? Or am I just shooting off the deep end here?

Thanks!

I talk to my lodestone every day. I speak to many things I work with...almost all. If not on a regular basis, then at least when I am going to be directly using them for immediate work. This is a good basis for Hoodoo my technique. yes I talk to these items.

Good luck!

...speaking to the herbs and asking the spirits to help your work is quite common tag227. Good Luck in your work!

I set up my lodestone working in my closet about a week ago. I have been talking to him almost daily, but so far he hasn't been drawing the things I'd ask him for. Is there any way to "heat up" lodestone workings? I can only burn tea lights in my home BTW. Not so much seven day vigil candles.

Hi Hausfrau great to see you again

. A little lodestone oil once in a while and "magnetic sand to feed", but there is a real good thread from yesterday too where Butchcomer (great ideas and thought) and Hail Discordia (equally awesome) spoke about surrounding him with Money, Bank Statements and writing in an amount and dressing with Money drawing too.:

hope that link works (im dealing with technical challenges, working daily to improve)

What do you guys usually tell your lodestones?

Devi Spring

So, if you are doing a moving lodestone spell how long would you wait before you cleaned the lodestones and would you do the spell again or just put them back together on their tray?

Unread post by **ConjureMan** » Mon Sep 20, 2010 8:37 pm

There isn't one way to answer that question because there isn't one way people deal with moving lodestones. Some people perform the spell over a few days then bury the lodestones together, place them under their bed, place them in a mojo hand, or keep them on their love altar.

I for one will repeat a moving lodestone spell that I've compeleted once a year. I wash them off then do the rite over again. For me its like spring-cleaning. Its anniversary comes around and I refresh the love and bonds that bind.

Thank You in advance, I'd call the LM store to ask myself, but because of the timezones, not open yet! hehe

Similar to my mojo question, if I haven't used or touched/fed lodestones for over a yr, are they considered neutral/inactive until I touch it? I just kept them in their plastic bags. I'm assuming not, and they'll be active when I touch them? similar to my mojo question

and Cat's wonderful analogy of tamagachi toys..

Correct? I hope I'm correct with the stones not being dead!

Talk to the stones and see how they feel to you. Wash them in some whiskey and feed them. See if they feel alive or not - do a divination to confirm.

Stones are a bit different than mojos because they have their own intrinsic spirit being a natural object. Their life is completely independent of you and your efforts. Feeding and working it works to make friends with the spirit and keep it working on your behalf. They can die, of course. But it usually has more to do with exhaustion. They can quit working for you from your neglecting it once you initially enter into a relationship with it.

Mojos are a spirit entity that gets crafted and called into being using the spirit-energy from the various herbs utilized, but will need to be maintained to keep the mojo spirit alive. That mojo-spirit is dependent on you and your feedings for its continued life - therefore if you neglect it, it dies. Period.

Hello there,

I woke up this morning with Peony root oil on my mind, i was somewhat in a dream state, I am really excited to have ordered it. I am wondering if it could be used with a lodestone for the properties it has, protection, health, longevity, and luck. I am just not sure if it makes sense

could i also then dress three smaller stones like little seeds or babys to put near the larger lodstone dressed in peony root oil, with Healing, Clarity and Tranquility. Are these Oils and their qualities something i could attract?
I hope i make sense and very much appreciate any help with my inquiry. my mane concern is health work.
thanks all who read this!
Peace, chaitanya

Now, on to your actual question:

To make a Lodestone-infused bath water for attraction, use Lodestone Oil or Lodestone bath crystals added to the bath water. Alternatively you may soak your Lodestone in Whiskey and add a few drops of the Whiskey to the bath water. You may also drink the whiskey by the teaspoonful for inner attractiveness.

Don't rust up a good Lodestone.

Unread post by **Devi Spring** » Mon Nov 08, 2010 1:29 pm

If you're hell bent on making magnetized water, try getting a plastic coated magnet and placing it in the water. That way nothing corrodes, and you're not harming a living being (yes - lodestones are living entities), and you'll have water which has been infused with magnetic qualities. I would not recommend drinking that water, but you can certainly use it to sprinkle around or as a base for a spray.

Hi. I have a lodestone question. I have been doing an Attraction Spell kit for a man, one I already have a set of very powerful little lodestones for and a honey jar. My problem is that my lodestone for the spell 'died' at some point during the spell. I have two days left on the attraction kit and the only reason I found out was my little alter that the spell was being preformed on was bumped and the sand, all but very, very little that actually stuck, slid off the stone. I don't know why but the poor little guy just lost his 'life' some point during the spell or he just wasn't too strong before hand. I was wondering if I could use my two that have already been named and I've been working on for a while in his place and bury him? Like I said their for the same situation and the same guy so I don't see a problem with it but I was wondering if I should just simply stop and start a new candle and spell with my stronger and very much alive stones or just finish the two knobs left with them? Thank you.

Hmmm. I would have a reading on that one. I would take that as a sign that perhaps this case is not going well, and I would want to check in with a reader to find out what's going on and how you can adjust your work to compensate.

Ok thank you very much. I plan on dressing it first and then adding the magnetic sand to it after. Since I am putting it in my doll, after a year, should I take it out and cleanse/baptize it to get new energy for it going or just leave it as is inside the doll?

I think you got the answer that you were looking for, but I want to clarify the language that you were using both hopefully to benefit you and also to benefit other new folks on the forum. You are not "dressing" the lodestone with the oil and sand. You are anointing the lodestone with the oil and you are feeding it with the magnetic sand. These terms are not all interchangeable--they really do have specific meanings. We dress vigil candles, free standing candles, and other objects with things like herbs, sachet powders, and in the vase of candles glitter--but when you are rubbing oil onto an object it is called anointing. You feed a lodestone magnetic sand because we believe that lodestones are living and they must, like mojo hands, be fed on a regular basis

Hope that helps!
Blessings,
Bri

I started working my lodestones last week. Baptized them, anointed them, and then fed them. Now I will feed them again soon, but my question is do you anoint them every time you feed them? Or is this done only once when starting?
If you do anoint them every time you feed them, do you carefully do so that it will not brush off magnetic sand? I appreciate any help with this.

I drizzle a little oil on stones when i think they need it. I don't rub it on because, like you say, that might displace too much of the magnetic sand.

I dab the oil on my finger and lightly touch the Lodestone so as to not knock off too many hairs. Then I sprinkle the magnetic sand to feed it.

Hi Everyone...Now I was told that I can buy 2 male lodestones, and most CERTAINLY I WILL....I do know how to use a little bit of it. But I just needed to know if I can use it with my skull candle, dressed in King Of Solomon and Clarity HERBS too? And If I will need a mojo bag for them...? Any suggestions?

YouTube · Unread post by **Miss Bri** » Fri Nov 26, 2010 4:55 am

No--you would use two same sex lodestones in a love drawing or attraction spell for two same sex people. You can place lodestones in a mojo hand, you can work with them in moving candle spells, you can have them on your spiritual altar--there are many ways to work with them, not just one, but they would not be appropriate to work with on the Wisdom/clarity skull spell you are speaking about above. And remember, lodestones are living and they need to be fed with magnetic sand.
Blessings,
Bri

Baptizing is a spiritual act. It isn't dependent on the products you use. You can baptize a lodestone with one of the colognes mentioned, but I personally do not. I use whiskey or Hoyt's Cologne to cleanse off the Lodestone. Then I make a cross over the Lodestone and name it, for love work. Then I dab a bit of oil to help get it going for the work I desire then work the lodestone by feeding it moving it, praying over it etc.

When baptiszing loadstones, does it matter as to what type of whiskey u use? I mean anything specific?

Unread post by **Devi Spring** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 8:52 am

Whiskey is used to cleanse and feed the lodestones; not really so much to baptise. To name it, just make the sign of the cross over it and name it. It's pretty simple.

If you wanted to make more of a ritual out of it, you could dab Holy Oil onto it, or just a very small dab of Holy Water during that process if you want (you don't want much water on the stone, because it will rust and corrode - so really just dampening your finger and then dabbing it onto the stone).

ConjureMan already outlined the process above:

Baptizing is a spiritual act. It isn't dependent on the products you use. You can baptize a lodestone with one of the colognes mentioned, but I personally do not. I use whiskey or Hoyt's Cologne to cleanse off the Lodestone. Then I make a cross over the Lodestone and name it, for love work. Then I dab a bit of oil to help get it going for the work I desire then work the lodestone by feeding it moving it, praying over it etc.

And just use regular whiskey. Remember the roots of conjure: The old time workers probably rarely had the luxury of choosing between dozens of types of fancy whiskeys.

mar_2 · Unread post by **mar_2** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 9:36 am

ohh i thought I had to use Whiskey to give the stones their "names" ..so really I dont have to use anything to baptize them, except for making the sign of the cross over it and then just naming them. Ok so thats pretty simple! Cause I was under the impression, that I was to do that with Whiskey.

Unread post by **Devi Spring** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 10:18 am

No, you cleanse them with the whiskey and let them dry. Then you move into working them. You can also feed them with a drop or two of whiskey, along with the magnetic sand.

mar_2 · Unread post by **mar_2** » Fri Jan 21, 2011 10:39 am

I really love this forum, it soo helpful...As I was reading the section on Loadstones on the LM website, it states to cleanse them, by either dribbling or spraying them with the Whiskey..well my stones are the VERY tiny ones..so would dabbing them with Whiskey, with my finger, on both sides of the stone be fine?
