Yep, we went through a really extended exploration of this topic a few years back... The take home message I've relied on since is this: The north pole of the earth is of the same type that we will most often want to use for healing or soothing applications. So if you hang a magnet on a string it will allign with the magnetic field and the pole that's pointing to the *south* will be of the same character as the earth's north pole and the one you want to use. So it's actually the pole of the magnet that seeks the earth's south pole that will, a) attract the north pointing end of a compass needle, and, b) have the healing/soothing qualities that we're looking for most of the time. Here's hoping that helps make it clear! Mike D.
