Magnet oil

Lodestones are the only naturally magnetic stones, and conjure workers have kept them as living things that need feeding.

Origin & Traditional Use

Magnet oil belongs to the family of named attraction oils in hoodoo, built on the lore of the lodestone. It is used to draw in money, love, luck or customers, depending on how the working is set. Practitioners use it to feed lodestones and to dress candles and papers.
