![]() ![]() With your eyes closed and hands together, both you and your partner need to focus deeply on the wish, thinking in present tense terms as though your shared wish is already happening. Hold hands with your partner and place the wishing stone between your palms, then firmly clasp hands. It’s important that both people are wishing for the same thing in the same way. Method: Before beginning, go over the instructions with your partner so both of you are on the same page during the process. Intention, as always, is so important when performing any kind of magic - even when using simple wishing stones. Two heads are better than one, right? The shared wish is meant to “double” the power of the wish by using two people’s intentions rather than one. So, now that you’ve collected your stones, how do you use them? This can be a solitary activity or you can bring a friend. ![]() It’s not entirely necessary, but it adds to the experience and makes my stones seem a little more precious. Half the fun is finding them and, again, I’m someone who needs everything to matter so when I collect them, I try to go to places that feel special to me. Or, if you wanted to make a day of it, head somewhere a little off the beaten track and hunt there. If you just want to give the stones a try, you could go searching in your neighborhood and probably find one without too much effort. Location is not a problem wishing stones can be found anywhere. I’d basically turned myself into a truffle pig for wishing stones! Even though it’s rare to find one that’s perfect for wishing, it gets easier the more you search. This gave me lots and lots of practice finding them and once I’d looked at a lot of them, that white band became quite eye-catching and I could find them quickly. This is the description I have always relied on and because I have success with these stones, I’m sticking to it.Īs soon as I learned about wishing stones, I wanted to collect as many as I could. That unique white ring makes these stones somewhat rare, but unmistakable. This band can be of any thickness, but there should only be one and it should be unbroken. The common lore on wishing stones is that they can be any size or shape, and are uniform in color except for a solid white band encircling the entire stone. Identifying and Collecting Wishing Stones After some thought, I decided on three new methods, and now I want to share these methods with you. Before I used the wishes I’d been saving, I wanted to make sure I used them to their absolute fullest potential. I’m a witch who is BIG on symbolism and making sure every move counts, so simply making a wish on a stone and then throwing the stone away would never suffice. Honestly, I was left a little disappointed. ![]() It had actually been awhile since I used one so I went online to see the different methods people had for wishing. Lately, I’ve had a few rainy days and, among other things, I turned to my wishing stones. Over the years, I’ve saved quite a few of them - my rainy day wishes. I love the idea of finding them while walking around outside and then saving them for when you need a little luck. They are helpful little things if you want to take your time with them, but also a lot of fun if you just want to throw caution to the wind and wish big. Each piece is meant to serve as a memento of quiet exploration, both physical and emotional, evoking memories of wandering peacefully along a shoreline, and prompting reflection on our biggest wishes for ourselves and those we hold close.This is why I love wishing stones. The thoughtfully-designed pieces in this collection provide the versatility of both comfort and elegance. To touch, each piece is smooth like a stone that has been tumbled by the sea for centuries, and features a shiny raised line that makes reference to wishing stones. The Wishing Stone Collection features sterling silver jewellery designs that draw inspiration from the act of beach combing, and the rocks we decide to pick up and hold onto as keepsakes. These are known to grant wishes when mediated on and tossed back into the ocean, or lovingly passed along to someone else. ![]() There is one type of rock, however, that is known with certainty to be special: wishing stones.Īccording to legend, a wishing stone is a rock with a distinct, continuous line that runs around it. What is deemed a good beach rock is subject to it’s finder it could have smooth surface, a pleasing shape, or an eye-catching colour. Sometimes, particularly along the rocky shores that are characteristic of many coastal regions in Atlantic Canada, beach combing centres around finding the “perfect” rock. Upon spotting a rare variety, you’d likely pick it up, and add it to your collection as a prized possession. When walking along the any shoreline, it’s common to look down to scan the ground for intricate shells and fragments of beach glass. ![]()
