Lodestone Questions         


Date: Aug 12, 2008 14:38

Andrea:
>> I read that for attracting money usually only one lodestone is used.

yes, that's my understanding.
>> Somewhere else I read that one should use two lodestones in this case [two]
>> (for example in a glass jar with some coins to attract more money or in a
>> mojo) because one attracts the money and the other one takes negativity
>> away: waht do you think about it?

I don't know why a lodestone would take something away, as their purpose
in folk magic seems to be to attract based on their magnetic qualities.

typically from what i've seen the 2-lodestone method is for
inspiring two types of attraction (love magic).
>> My second question is about the use of
>> lodestones in love spells and love mojos: if I'm doing a spell or preparing
>> a mojo to find a new lover (i.e someone that I don't know) should I use two
>> lodestones anyway as in spells cast to attract a specific person, or a
>> single small lodestone is enough? Thanks a lot for your help!

that isn't the point. the point was about *understanding the
symbolism* and, more importantly, reflecting traditional usage.

What is the "essence of an idea"? What is the "essence of an entity"?
