LODESTONES: THE STONE OF ATTRACTION

Lodestones and leaves

One of the visitors to this blog, Spring, asked me for advice for placement of 2 lodestones that she had bought.  To be honest, this is the first time that I am hearing that lodestones have other powers of attraction other than attracting metallic things. 

As far as I know Lodestones are used more in Pagan practices, for example Voodoo.  Since I only practice Feng Shui, I am not able to give advice on how to use it or where to put the lodestone.

For my other visitors, here is information about Lodestones that I managed to get from the Internet:

ABOUT LODESTONES

A lodestone or loadstone is a naturally magnetized piece of the mineral magnetite. They are naturally occurring magnets, that attract pieces of iron. Ancient people first discovered the property of magnetism in lodestone. Pieces of lodestone, suspended so they could turn, were the first magnetic compasses, and their importance to early navigation is indicated by the name lodestone, which in Middle English means 'course stone' or 'leading stone'.
While some lodestones can be paired (traditionally male and female based on shape) for love magic and used in tandem, these lodestones are not gender specific and can be used alone, perfect for money magic, business, health, or anything else you would like to draw into your life. Lodestone is also useful in enhancing the power of a spell or altar, and can be used in conjunction with your other work.
This gemstone leads to heightened mental faculties and enables the wearer to foretell future events.
Lodestone is actually magnetite with an additional property of polarity. This additional property of lodestone enables one to both fundamentally recognize and distinguish between the dualities which exist in ones environment. It enhances receptivity and helps one to rejoice in all of the circumstances which enter into ones life. It balances the male/female aspect of ones body, mind, emotions and consciousness for each moment. It assists in bringing to fruition that which is “wanted” and encourages one to “hold fast” to ones purpose.
It promotes motivation and confidences, eliminating insecurity and dependence Lodestone further serves to provide guidance with respect to the most beneficial direction for progression a.nd ultimate ascension, helping one to understand the signs that point to the easiest lessons and the most advantageous circumstances. It helps to balance and to align the meridians of the physical body with the etheric body, activates the chakras, aligns the etheric to the astral body and to stimulate ease in astral travel.
