Lodestone: A Magnet in Hoodoo Tradition
Lodestone is magnetite, Fe3O4, a naturally occurring iron oxide mineral, and lodestone is its naturally magnetized form. Before compasses, before electromagnets, before any industrial understanding of magnetism, lodestone was already known for pulling iron. In Southern hoodoo and conjure traditions, that magnetic property became a central metaphor for an entire class of spellwork: attraction magic, the work of drawing desired things toward you rather than pushing obstacles away.
Lodestone oil carries that intention in liquid form. It’s a ritual condition oil formulated for use in attraction workings: drawing love, good fortune, favorable circumstances, or specific people into your orbit by working with the magnetic symbolism central to lodestone practice. In hoodoo, lodestones are traditionally fed with magnetic sand to keep them active, and lodestone oil is used to anoint the stone itself, dress candles designated for attraction work, or apply to petition papers and personal concerns placed in a mojo bag.

Working with Attraction Oils in Practice
Condition oils in the hoodoo tradition are applied with intention to objects, candles, or the body as part of a ritual working. For lodestone oil, the most direct application is anointing an actual lodestone: apply a few drops to the stone while stating your specific intention clearly, then feed the stone with magnetic sand to seal the working. This is the classic lodestone working in hoodoo.
Lodestone oil also works on candles: dress a red or pink candle for love attraction, a green candle for money drawing, or a white candle for general favorable circumstances by applying the oil from wick to base while drawing toward yourself. On petition papers, a small cross-mark of oil at the center before folding the paper into a packet is standard practice. The 4 dram bottle is a practical working size, enough for multiple applications without excess.
How to Use Lodestone Oil
Three core applications for lodestone oil in hoodoo attraction work, covering lodestone feeding, candle dressing, and petition work.
- Anoint Your Lodestone
Place a few drops of lodestone oil on your fingertips and rub it into the surface of a lodestone while stating your specific intention out loud. Follow by sprinkling magnetic sand over the stone to feed it and activate the attraction working.
- Dress a Candle for Attraction Work
Apply lodestone oil to a candle from the wick down toward the base while pulling the oil toward you, not away. This directional dressing is standard in conjure, reinforcing the drawing intention before the candle is lit and burned for the work.
- Anoint a Petition Paper or Mojo Bag
Write your petition on paper, add a small cross-mark of lodestone oil at the center, then fold the paper toward you and place it in a mojo bag or under a working candle. The oil binds the written petition to the magnetic drawing intention.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock lodestone oil because lodestones are a classic hoodoo drawing stone, and the oil pairs directly with the lodestones and mojo bag supplies I carry elsewhere in the shop. The 4 dram bottle is the standard working size for ritual condition oils: enough to do real work, small enough to store easily. If you’re building out an attraction working, pairing this oil with an actual lodestone and magnetic sand gives you a complete, traditional setup. This oil is a hoodoo-style product derived from lodestone practice. Hoodoo is a living tradition, and I offer this as an entry point, not a substitute for learning from practitioners and community.

Yes. Lodestone oil works on its own for candle dressing, petition papers, and mojo bag anointing. Using it alongside an actual lodestone gives you the full traditional setup, but the oil carries the attraction intention independently in any working.
