The Lodestone Tradition Behind Magnet Oil
Magnet oil draws its name and intent from one of the oldest curios in African American hoodoo: the lodestone, a naturally magnetized form of magnetite that practitioners prize for its literal magnetic pull. In Southern conjure tradition, lodestones are treated as living beings, fed regularly with magnetic sand (iron filings) and condition oils to keep them active and drawing. Magnet oil sits squarely in that tradition, extending the iron-draws-iron metaphor into a formula that pulls money, love, luck, opportunity, and favorable people indiscriminately toward the practitioner.
Unlike targeted love oils or specific petition formulas, Magnet oil works as a broad net. Historians of African American folk magic trace lodestone use in North America back to at least the eighteenth century, with clear parallels in the Spanish-speaking tradition where lodestones are called piedra iman. The metaphor holds across cultures: what is naturally magnetic draws what it desires. Practitioners of hoodoo, rootwork, and Afro-Caribbean traditions have all integrated this symbolism into their working practice, and Magnet oil crystallizes that symbolism into a bottle.
How Practitioners Use Magnet Oil in Drawing Work
The most traditional application of Magnet oil is pairing it with a physical lodestone on the altar. The stone is anointed with the oil, dusted with magnetic sand, and placed on a ceramic dish (never metal, which can interfere with its pull) surrounded by items that represent what you are drawing: coins for money, a written name for a person, a business card for customers. The oil feeds the stone while also carrying the working’s scent signature into the space. Browse my full Espiritu oil selection to pair Magnet oil with other drawing formulas for layered work.
Candle dressing is a second major application. A candle dressed with Magnet oil can stand alone as a drawing working or accompany the lodestone altar, compounding the attraction work. Practitioners also use the oil to anoint petition papers, mojo bags, wallet liners, and the corners of business cash registers, anywhere they want the pulling energy of the magnet metaphor to take hold. The 1oz bottle provides enough supply for extended altar maintenance rather than a single session, making it well suited for practitioners who keep a lodestone altar running consistently over months.
How to Use Magnet Ritual Aroma Oil
Set up and use Magnet oil for traditional lodestone-based attraction and drawing work.
- Prepare Your Lodestone Altar
Set a lodestone at your altar and anoint it with Magnet oil while stating your goal. A pinch of magnetic sand reinforces the hoodoo lodestone-feeding custom, where magnetized stones are fed oil regularly to keep their drawing power alive and active.
- Dress Your Drawing Candle
Choose a candle color for your goal: green for money, red for love, gold for luck. Apply Magnet oil from base to wick, pulling toward you to signal attraction. Set the dressed candle near your lodestone and speak your petition before lighting it.
- Anoint Petitions and Documents
Write your petition on brown paper and touch each corner and the center with Magnet oil. Fold the paper toward you three times and tuck it beneath your candle. Repeat this anointing in several sessions to build a sustained drawing working over days.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I carry Magnet oil because lodestone-based drawing work is one of the most historically grounded practices in American folk magic, and good-quality formula oils for that tradition are harder to find than the general “attraction” oils that flood the market. Espiritu produces this formula under limited distribution, which means it is not available in every metaphysical shop, and that scarcity reflects a genuine commitment to the traditional conjure formula lineage rather than mass-market reformulation. I stock the 1oz bottle specifically for practitioners who maintain active lodestone altars and need a reliable supply. For the candles to complete your drawing setup, browse my candle collection and look for green, red, or gold options to pair with this oil.
