Origin & Lore

Attraction oil is one of the named condition oils of hoodoo and American folk magick, made to draw what you want toward you. It is most often used for love and romance, but practitioners also work it for customers, friends and opportunities.

Rootworkers have long kept a pair of lodestones in a dish and fed them oil, because a stone that pulls iron to itself is the clearest picture of attraction there is.

Named condition oils like Attraction were sold in large numbers by spiritual supply houses in American cities during the early twentieth century, often by mail order, to customers working in the hoodoo tradition.

The idea of magnetic attraction is older still: lodestones have been carried as love charms in European and African-American folk practice for generations, and many Attraction formulas were made to be used alongside them.
