The Writings

Edward Leedskalnin wrote a small body of printed work—part instruction manual, part philosophy, and part unconventional “magnetic theory.” His writings matter for historical research because they show what he personally claimed, taught, and advertised in his own words.

This page gives a brief, factual guide to his known writings and dated notices.

A Book in Every Home (Copyright 1936)

Leedskalnin’s earliest known publication is A Book in Every Home, dated 1936 in surviving copies.
It is a non-technical booklet containing moral, domestic, and political opinions under section-style headings (often referenced as “Ed’s Sweet Sixteen,” “Domestic,” and “Political Views” in transcriptions).

Magnetic Current (Copyright 1945)

Magnetic Current is Leedskalnin’s best-known technical booklet and is presented as the result of his experimentation and observations at Rock Gate. Copies of the booklet show 1945 as the copyright year.
In it, he argues that what people call electricity is actually “magnetic current,” describing “North and South pole individual magnets” as the fundamental movers behind electric and magnetic effects.

Mineral, Vegetable and Animal Life (Copyright October. 1945) 

In this short work, Leedskalnin describes “life” (mineral, vegetable, animal) as a process that holds matter together, and he ties that process to his concept of North and South pole magnets.

Cosmic Force Advertisement (February 3, 1946)

In surviving references and reprints, “Cosmic Force” appears as Leedskalnin’s label for the North/South pole “individual magnets” he describes as the building blocks of matter and change.

Magnetic Base and Sound Base (May 20, 1946)

Leedskalnin’s Magnetic Base / Sound Base material includes direct claims that electricity and radio waves cannot be made without “North and South pole individual magnets,” and it criticizes mainstream atomic models (protons/electrons) in blunt terms.
