Gold Lodestones and the Hoodoo Money-Drawing Tradition
Lodestone, a naturally magnetized form of the iron oxide mineral magnetite, has been used in folk magic across the Americas, Africa, and Europe for centuries. Its magnetic property, the ability to attract iron filings and other metallic objects, made it a foundational tool in hoodoo, rootwork, and conjure traditions where attraction magic sits at the center of much ritual practice. The gold coloring on these stones aligns lodestone’s natural magnetic pull with the visual and symbolic language of wealth, solar energy, and the solar plexus chakra, making them the preferred variety for financial work.
In hoodoo tradition, gold lodestones are typically “fed” with magnetic sand, a fine iron filing mixture that clings to the stone and visually demonstrates its magnetic power. Practitioners name their lodestones and treat them as living allies, dressing them with condition oils formulated for money drawing, placing them in mojo bags alongside money-drawing herbs such as cinquefoil, bay laurel, and five-finger grass. The practice of keeping a lodestone on a prosperity altar and regularly feeding it with magnetic sand and oil is documented across generations of American conjure practitioners.
Practical Use in Candle Work and Mojo Bags
Lodestones are versatile in ritual use. For candle money spells, the lodestone is placed at the base of a green or gold candle dressed with money-drawing oil, and the candle is burned over several sessions while the practitioner focuses on a specific financial intention. For mojo bags, the gold lodestone anchors the bag’s magnetic function, drawing the desired financial outcome toward the carrier. The stones can also be placed in cash registers, safes, or home offices to attract steady income flow.
This listing sells gold lodestones by the pound, so the count of stones will vary depending on their individual sizes. Lodestones are natural minerals and vary in shape, surface texture, and exact shade. No two pieces are identical.

How to Use Gold Lodestones
How to activate and use gold lodestones in money-drawing ritual practice.
- Feed and Name Your Lodestone
Rinse the lodestone in cool water and dry it. Hold it in both hands and give it a personal name linked to your intention. Sprinkle magnetic sand over the stone and watch the filings cling, confirming its magnetic power is active.
- Dress for Money Drawing
Apply a small amount of money-drawing condition oil to the lodestone, rubbing it in while stating your financial intention clearly. Place it on a green cloth or at the base of a dressed candle on your prosperity altar for focused ritual work.
- Feed Weekly to Maintain Power
Once a week, add a pinch of magnetic sand and a drop of condition oil to keep the lodestone active. Practitioners report that consistently fed lodestones remain potent allies in long-term abundance and financial stability rituals.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock gold lodestones by the pound because the quantity and quality matter for serious ritual work. A single stone is fine for personal carry, but candle work, large mojo bags, and altar arrangements benefit from having several pieces on hand. These are natural magnetite specimens with the gold coloring that hoodoo practitioners specifically seek for financial work, not dyed decorative stones. Explore my ritual supplies for magnetic sand, condition oils, and everything else needed to build a complete prosperity working.

Magnetic sand is the traditional feeding material for lodestones and demonstrates their power visually. It is not strictly required to begin ritual work, but most experienced practitioners include it as part of an ongoing lodestone care practice.
