The lodestone is the working traditions' most literal metaphor: a stone that physically pulls, kept for generations in Hoodoo and the botanicas' piedra iman practice as a living helper that draws money, love, luck, and custom toward its keeper. The tending customs are the tradition's charm and its documented core: a working lodestone is named, given its assignment aloud, dressed with oil, fed magnetic sand weekly, the grains leaping visibly to its surface, and kept in a dish, jar, or mojo bag like the employee it is. The colored stones appear in the tradition's old catalogs alongside the colored sands, and green is the money dressing: the stone for prosperity altars, cash boxes, business drawers, and the shop counters the old workers kept them under.

Practical husbandry matters with a living curio: lodestones are iron-bearing and dislike water, so cleaning is a dry brush-off of accumulated sand and a wipe with the traditional splash of cologne, never a soak. Paired with the gold sand as its standing groceries and a drop of dressing oil for its anniversaries, a well-kept green lodestone anchors a money practice for years, which is a remarkable career for five dollars of magnetic rock.

1. Welcome it: name the stone and state its money assignment aloud.
2. House it in a dish, jar, or mojo bag on the prosperity altar or by the register.
3. Feed it a pinch of gold magnetic sand weekly, renewing the assignment.
4. Dress it with a drop of oil before big workings.
5. Keep it dry: brush off old sand monthly, wipe with cologne, never soak.

The tradition's rule of thumb: a fed stone works, a forgotten stone retires. Keep the calendar.

• Fool's Gold Pyrite Charm, 0.75-1": the money jar's glittering colleague.

What is a lodestone?

Naturally magnetized magnetite: the conjure tradition's living drawing curio, kept, named, and fed to pull money, love, and luck toward its keeper.

Why green?

The tradition's color code: colored lodestones appear in the old catalogs beside the colored sands, and green is the money-and-growth dressing for prosperity assignments.

How do I feed it?

A pinch of gold magnetic sand weekly, sprinkled while naming the work aloud; the grains cling visibly, the ceremony that keeps the stone employed.

What size will I receive?

Lodestones sell by weight per the old custom; sizes and shapes vary, and each stone arrives with its own character.

How do I clean it?

Dry only: brush off accumulated sand, wipe with a splash of cologne, and never soak an iron-bearing stone.
