White Lodestones, One Pound Bag

Sold by weight, in bulk. A full pound, which is a great many stones. This is the size practitioners buy when they are dressing multiple workings or supplying a shop table rather than keeping one on an altar.

Pale material. White to greyish rather than the dark iron-black most people picture, which is why they are often chosen for workings where the color matters to the practitioner.

Natural variation in size and shape. These are rough natural stones, not cut or polished, so pieces differ considerably across a bag.

• Quantity: 1 lb bag, sold by weight rather than by count
• Material: natural rough stone, sold in the botanica trade under the name white lodestone
• True lodestone is naturally magnetized magnetite, and it is typically dark. Pale material sold under the lodestone name varies in composition and in how strongly magnetic it is. We would rather tell you that than promise a magnetic strength we cannot guarantee across a bulk bag.
• Test yours with a paperclip or iron filings if magnetic behavior matters to your working.
• If your stones do prove strongly magnetic, keep them away from pacemakers, implanted medical devices, and electronics.
• Keep dry. Iron-bearing minerals rust, and damp storage will spot them.
• Rough natural stone with variation in size, shape, and color throughout the bag.

Lodestone belongs squarely to Hoodoo and conjure, and in those traditions it is a drawing stone: kept in a mojo bag, set in a money bowl, dressed with oil and fed magnetic sand, and worked to pull toward the practitioner. The logic is direct and does not require any special initiation to understand, because the stone visibly attracts iron and the working extends that behavior to what the practitioner wants drawn near.

Feeding is the part most often left out of shop descriptions. In traditional practice a lodestone is not a passive object; it is kept, spoken to, dressed, and fed magnetic sand on a schedule, and a stone that is not fed is generally understood to stop working. Where that practice is taught within a family or a house, that teaching is the authority rather than a product page.

Hoodoo is a living African American tradition with its own history and its own practitioners. We stock the materials and describe their common uses plainly. We are not going to write you a ritual we have no standing to teach.

1. Choose a stone from the bag by hand rather than at random. Most practitioners hold several and keep the one that feels right, which is a normal part of the work.
2. Cleanse it dry before first use. Smoke, moonlight, or sound. Avoid soaking, since these stones do not want to sit wet.
3. Name what you want drawn to you, plainly and out loud, while holding the stone. Specificity matters more here than elaborate wording.
4. Keep it where the working lives: a mojo bag, a money bowl, a cash drawer, or on the altar alongside a dressed candle.
5. Feed it on a schedule if your practice includes that, most commonly with magnetic sand, and repeat your petition when you do.

• Attract Love Spell Mix, 1 lb: a prepared herbal blend for drawing work at the same bulk scale.
• Atrae Dinero Fragrance Oil, 1 oz: for dressing a stone or the candle beside it.
• Call Clients Cologne, 7.5 oz: drawing work aimed at business rather than the household.
• Blessed Holy Water, 4 oz: commonly kept alongside in the same practices.
• Spiritual Cleansings and Psychic Defenses by Robert Laremy: a practical text if you would rather work from method than improvise.

Are these actually magnetic?

It varies, and we will not promise otherwise across a bulk bag. True lodestone is naturally magnetized magnetite and is usually dark; pale material sold under the same trade name differs in composition and in magnetic strength. Test a stone with a paperclip if that property matters to your working.

What is the difference between white and grey lodestone?

Mainly color, and the choice is usually the practitioner's rather than the tradition's. Some prefer pale stones for particular workings. The drawing practice itself is the same, and neither is considered the correct one.

How many stones are in a pound?

It depends entirely on size, since these are rough natural pieces sold by weight rather than counted. Expect a generous quantity, with considerable variation in size and shape throughout the bag.

Do I need to feed them?

In traditional Hoodoo practice, yes, most commonly with magnetic sand, and a stone that is not fed is generally understood to stop working. How and when to feed is taught within the tradition, so follow what you have actually been taught rather than improvising from a shop page.

Can I put them in water?

Better not to. Iron-bearing stone rusts, and damp storage will spot and degrade them over time. Cleanse dry with smoke, sound, or moonlight, and keep the bag somewhere dry.
