Origin & Lore

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.

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

Lodestones have been carried as charms for centuries, and in hoodoo they are kept in pairs, fed with oil and dusted with iron filings called magnetic sand. Spiritual-supply catalogs sold Magnet and Lodestone oils for this exact purpose.
