Lodestone is the great drawing stone of Hoodoo and conjure: naturally magnetic iron ore, reached for to pull what you call toward you, whether love, money, or favor. The logic is direct, which is very much the tradition's style, and it is why the lodestone is not treated as an inert curio but as something kept, named, and fed with magnetic sand.

Worked as a self-lighting powder, ground fine and blended with saltpeter so it lights at the tip, that drawing intention goes into smoke. The powder burns in the same spirit as the fed stone: a petition set alight. The incense does not act on its own; it scents the air and helps you settle into your own intention of drawing. Hoodoo is a living African American tradition; to go deeper with lodestone work, learn from its own teachers and practitioners.

1. Ready a fireproof dish, shell, or cauldron on a stable, ventilated surface, with a name paper beneath in the conjure manner if your practice keeps it.
2. Pour a small trail or mound of the powder in the dish.
3. Light the tip. The self-lighting blend catches and smolders on its own; no charcoal needed.
4. Speak the working as the smoke rises, naming what you are drawing toward you.
5. Extinguish completely. Press any embers out cold before leaving the room, and never leave it burning unattended.

What is powder incense?

Loose incense milled fine and blended with saltpeter so it self-ignites: pour a trail or cone, light the tip, and it smolders unaided. It is the conjure shop's classic ritual format, where the burning itself carries the petition.

Do I need charcoal?

No, the self-lighting blend burns on its own. Charcoal is optional for a slower, gentler smoke during longer workings.

What is lodestone used for?

Drawing. Lodestone is conjure's magnetic stone, worked to pull love, money, or favor toward you.

Does this contain actual lodestone?

It is a named condition powder in the lodestone tradition, and the maker keeps the formula proprietary, as is customary. If you want the stone itself, or the magnetic sand to feed it, we sell those separately.

How do I burn it safely?

In a fireproof dish on a stable surface, with ventilation open, away from anything flammable, and never unattended. Press embers out cold before leaving the room.
