imantación
Spanish to English
Art/Literary
Poetry & Literature
A Chilean poet Gonzalo Rojas writes about the enigmatic woman as,
"no va a las casas, ni tiene teléfono, acepta imantación por pensamiento".
Can anyone explain what would the term 'imantación' mean in this context.

charmed
She agrees to be charmed (or she accepts being charmed) by thought/thinking/his mind.
Here is the rest of the poem:

It seems like a poetic advert for a dating site. She is stating what she has to offer and what she is looking for in return, one of her requirements being a man who reads poetry. She is searching for a man with intellectual qualities, rather than physical.
As others have said, "magnetized" doesn't sound very good, but "charmed" is a synonym, so could work.
The Free Dictionary:
tr.v. mag·net·ized, mag·net·iz·ing, mag·net·iz·es
1. To make magnetic.
2. To attract, charm, or influence:

: I've given this a little more thought, and I think your suggestion may be the most natural, Marie. Something like "agrees to be charmed by telepathy," "willing to be charmed by telepathy," "will accept being charmed by telepathy," etc.

Thanks, Kathryn. It's hard to get inside the poet's head and see what he was really thinking. I thought "pensamiento" referred to intellect, but you could be right about the telepathy idea.

courtship
I agree with Neil that it basically means attraction here, but in the context I think it's a little more-- the act of fostering and winning that attraction. I'd say courtship.
A possible translation:
no house calls,
no working phone either;
a courtship by telepathy would be acceptable... / she would accept a courtship by telepathy...

attraction
It looks like the root of the Spanish term is the word for magnet (imán). However, "magnetisation" doesn't really work in this lyrical content, so...

If "thought" isn't lyrical enough for you, you might consider "thoughtform", which is a concept in mysticism of a being or object which is created through spiritual or mental powers.

Que Es tener Personalidad Magnética Interesante
Que-Es-tener-Personalidad
Al igual que el magnetismo o energía magnética ese fenómeno físico en el cual los objetos ejercen fuerzas de atracción o repulsión entre sí, se habla de las personas que tienen un don especial para generar comunicación asertiva con otras personas, cuando nos preguntamos que es tener personalidad magnética que atraiga a otras personas bien sea también de manera física o por sus habilidades, destrezas, encantos, modos de ser, de expresarse o de comportarse tendremos en cuenta que hay una serie de variables que implican esta manera de ejercer magnetismo.
http://exitosaproduct.com/que-es-tener-personalidad-magnetic...
A person with a sense of calm self-confidence and authenticity who others are drawn towards instinctively. These people are excellent listeners with the power to make anyone feel important and validated. While not always the center of attention, magnetic personalities radiate a powerful and slightly mysterious influence, and are often extremely wise and thoughtful.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Magnetic Pers...
Having a Magnetic personality can take you to amazing places in life and business. Why not to spend a few minutes appreciating how charming we are? By just being aware of the elements of a magnetic personality we can decide to make little tweaks and ensure a positive character. There is great power of attraction in the person who has a positive character, and this power expresses itself in your body language and the energy that it radiates.

Este es el contexto que se utilizó para llegar a la solución propuesta. Es un poema llamado "Enigma de la Deseosa" de Gonzalo Rojas, escritor chileno:
Muchacha imperfecta busca hombre imperfecto de 32,exige lectura de Ovidio, ofrece: a) dos pechos de paloma,
b) toda la piel liviana para los besos,
c) Mirada verde para desafiar el infortunio de las tormentas; no va a las casas, no tiene teléfono, acepta imantación de pensamiento. No es Venus; tiene la velocidad de Venus.

Est definía bien la persona en que se basaba el poema. Según mi percepción:
!. Mucha no atractiva, busca muchacho no atractivo de 32, elige cultura en la persona lectura, ofrece a) Un busto desarrollado y atractivo,
b) Sin experiencia de relaciones anteriores y no haber besado a nadie
c) No haber afectada por el infortunio de las tormentas personales; no es una persona sociable, pero tiene una personalidad magnética y tiene carisma (carismática)

...or "psychokinesis" ???

The sense is closer to "orientable" but that has too many other connotations.
