Lodestone

PGM IV. 2785-2890 lists a prayer to Selene for any spell as part of a protective charm 73. A lodestone is to be used and it should have a triple faced Hekate carved upon it with the middle face having a bull horned maid, the left a dog and the right a goat 74. It was cleaned in natron and water and dipped in the blood of a person who died a violent death 75. PGM IV.2622-2707 lists the creation of a protective charm in which it is made with a magnet and an image of Hekate inscribed upon it 73 and 74.
