XXXLarge Magnetic Lodestone Altar Piece ☘️☘️☘️ Lodestones are truly ANCIENT, desired as POWERFUL AMULETS for their perceived ability to attract luck, love, money and the good things in life. Lodestones are the naturally magnetized mineral magnetite collected in the high desert of the Southwest. Adept Hoodoos and folk magic practitioners will often have one large Mother stone as an altar piece to attract all good things. Smaller lodestones may be kept with the Mother Lodestone as well. Mother Lodestones are typically kept on money, prosperity, and luck altars. Lodestone altars are created to train “hunting money” by placing your lodestone in a bowl of money to expose it to the lodestone’s magnetic influence. After a period of seven days, the money can be spent and by putting it into circulation, it is trained to bring even more money back to you. ☘️☘️☘️ Pictured is a triple extra large magnetic lodestone that weighs 1.4 pounds and comes with magnetic sand.

Wishing stones are stones with a naturally occurring, unbroken quartz line that goes all the way around the stone. There may be other lines and inclusions, but to qualify as a wishing stone there needs to be a dominant unbroken line around the circumference. Finding such a stone is a stroke of luck in and of itself.
Legend holds that whoever possesses the stone can make wishes on it indefinitely, so long as the stone is not broken. Some say you can trace your finger along the stripe, close your eyes and make a wish. If you make a wish for yourself, it is said to come true by believers. However, if you make a wish for someone else, it is believed that wish will come true along with all of your own wishes.
I find and hand select our wishing stones for their look, geologic composition, and feel. They are cleansed of dirt and debris and lightly oiled with a special ritual oil to bring out their natural shine. None are polished- every stone is in its raw natural state. These wishing stones are found on our land, which was manifested in part through the use of such a stone in creative visualization. To manifest something, your focus must be laser-like and wishing stones help immensely in that endeavor.

Hello friends. I am an avid stone hoarder collector and over the years I have learnt some things because I’m a clod and do stupid things sometimes.
(Sources are trusted as mere references and my own experience, that being, be sensible with rocks, just because a website says they won’t kill you don’t lick it, rub it on your face or throw it at people…)
So…
DO NOT WATER CLEANSE (or make Elixirs out of):
Anything under a mohs hardness of 7 —- check it out on Wikipedia it should have general scale of what the mineral’s hardness is. If you really want to water cleanse a stone, you should be okay with anything higher than five. Some common ones here. This is a precaution to stop it crumbling away into nothing or dissolving, as I did when I took a chunk of azurite to the pool. Yikes.
If it looks brittle in anyway, like Selenite and box-y looking quartz or even geodes, if it’s light, like Jet, or glittery and rough textured - like azurite, stay away from water.
Any mineral that is bastardly poisonous —- Malachite being the obvious one - heard a few horror stories of poor clods being poisoned by that, for the love of God not bismuth (its a metal, why do they even sell that, sheesh) sulfur are all no-nos. Most of that list will not kill you if you get the residual water on your hands, but hey, lets not risk mercury poisoning.
(I checked three ‘crystal healing’ books and not one mentions this kind of stuff - I mean, wow, you mention every stone on the planet including oozyflappychappy-ite from the deep jungles of timbuktu of which only four exist but not make a list of the ones that can kill you?)
Any metals! - Haematite, Copper and Bismuth, again, come to mind.
Anything dyed. - I’ve had dyed howlite and turquoise fade in the sun.
Anything that’s translucent! —- The quartz family, agates and fluorite are common culprits for fading in the sun.
——-
Some other basic precautions are sound cleansing, if you’re using a tuning fork with a small, “soft” stone, it may well be brittle. Same with passing things through flame, brittle stones might be a bitch to clean if you blacken them.
Tumbled and polished stones, very hard and common garden varieties that anyone can name are usually approachable and safe.
this is going on my new altar that will be devoted to Hekate. I’m planning on sculpting a lil figurine with clay but ehhhhhhhe hhhhhhhh that may turn out very ugly so we shall see!!!
14/21 Temperance - What’s your favorite card and why?
This is a difficult question! I have many: The Hermit, The Moon, The Magician, the 9 of Pentacles, the 8 of Wands, the Ace of Cups, and the Queen of Wands.
When I received my first deck and before I knew anything about the cards I did an exercise in which I went through the entire deck and picked the card that most appealed to me. The Hermit stood out, and after reading about it it became my first favorite card.
The Hermit, The Moon, and The Magician are all cards that I relate to as an artist. Each one represents an important aspect of my process. The Hermit is observation, solitude and introspection. It’s the part of me that asks questions, comes up with ideas to explore, and seeks to understand the self and surrounding world. The Moon is creativity, dreams, chaos, and the stripping away of labels. It’s the subconscious world where unexpected things can be found. The Magician is manifestation and communication. It’s bringing those ideas to life and connecting with others.
The Minor Arcana cards that appeal to me most are things that I often need or desire: self-sufficiency (9 of Pentacles), mental clarity (8 of Wands), emotional expression or release (Ace of Cups), and confidence (Queen of Wands).
