How to Make Your Wishes Come True

Colors surround us in the world everyday, and everywhere, so why not use this color abundance to help our wishing powers and abilities out. Check out this collection of color influenced wishes.

• If there are pink or red streaks in a blue sky, close your eyes and make a wish.

• If a red bird flies in front of you, make a wish.

• When you see a red bird, quickly spit three times. If the bird has not disappeared from sight by the third spit, you can make a wish.

• If you see a blue truck, pinch someone (gently) as you make a wish.

• Stamp your foot and make a wish when you see a red truck.

• A circle of grass that is greener than the rest is a 'fairy ring.' Stand in the center, turn three times, and make a wish. If the fairy ring stays, it can be wished on once every three days. Though myth supposes that the fairy ring is caused by fairies having danced on the spot, it is actually caused by the growth of certain fungi below the surface that produce increased nitrogen.

• It is said that clovers are good luck or that wishes can be made on them. Lets explore the wishing rights surrounding the clover.

• If you find a four-leaf clover, make a wish on it. As you wish on it, hold it over your head or put it in your shoe.

• Another tradition is that after you have wished on a four-leaf clover, toss it away, or if you see one, do not pick it, but make a wish and the chances of it coming true will grow as the clover grows.

• Yet another: say the following chant while touching each clover leaf in turn:

'One leaf for fame,
One leaf for wealth,
One for a faithful lover,
One for glorious health;
All in this four-leafed clover.'

When you have finished saying the chant, twirl the clover between two fingers of your right hand and make a wish for one of the four things the clover holds for you.

• If you find a four-leaf clover in spring, eat it as you make a wish.

• When you find a four-leaf clover, pick it without breaking off any leaves, make a wish on it, and carry it with you the next 24 hours. If any leaves break off during these 24 hours, your wish will not come true.

• I once heard from a little birdie that they can fly wishes to the universe and beyond to be granted- if they see fit. I will let you decide if our feathered friends can really help our wishes get granted.

• If you hear a bird singing in the rain, make a wish.

• If two birds fly toward you in unison, quickly make a wish. If you finish your wish before they change direction or pass you, it will come true.

• If three birds perch together on one wire, make a wish. If you finish your wish before any of them fly away, it will come true.

• If you see a flock of birds, cross your legs and make a wish.(England)

• If a flock of birds you didn't know was there suddenly rises from a field and flies over your head, quickly make a wish so the birds can take it with them.

• If you find an empty bird's nest, you get a wish. If it has part of an eggshell in it, you get two wishes.

• If you see an eagle (try a zoo), make a wish. If the eagle flies, there is a better chance of your wish being granted.

• If you see an eagle in the open air, this is very lucky (but be sure it is not a hawk); make a wish, then chant:

'Eagle free, fly to make my wish come be.'

• If you see a cow or cattle lying down on Christmas Day, make a wish. (Europe)

• If you see a cow slap its tail against a tree or fence, make a wish.

• If you see an albino (all-white) cow, cross your fingers and make a wish for something that has white in it or on it.

• If you see an all-black cow, you should make a wish. If there is a herd of them, there is a very good chance that your wish will come true.

• You can make a wish when you see a camel, but wishing on a camel can be tricky. Seeing how many humps it has is easy enough, but you have to know what kind of camel the number of humps signifies to make the wish effective. Here's a memory trick: the Dromedary camel has one hump; the Bactrian has two humps (a D has one hump; a B has two humps). In making your wish, you must address the camel correctly.

'Dromedary camel, here's my wish.'
Say this once, for the one hump.
'Bactrian camel, here's my wish.'
Say this twice, for the two humps.

• If you see a gray horse, spit first, then make a wish.

• If you see a piebald horse (one that is spotted and more than one color), spit over your right shoulder, close your eyes, and wish. If you see the horse's tail, your wish won't come true. (England)

• A spotted horse is considered to be particularly magical; if you see one, close your eyes to make your wish, then look back at the spotted horse again and say 'So be it.'

• If you see a black horse, shake your fist at the horse three times while making a wish. If the horse looks at you, your wish will come true.

• If you see three black horses, shake someone's hand. (Shake your own if you're alone.) Make a wish and look away. If you see the same horses again, your wish won't work.

• If you see a white horse, cross your fingers and make a wish. If you see one white horse you will have bad luck if you don't cross your fingers or stamp your foot once and then make a wish.

• If you see a white horse in the street, make a wish, but don't turn or look back until you're sure the horse is gone. (England)

• If you see a white horse, make a wish, then look around for a woman with red hair. If you see one, your wish will come true.

• If you see a person with red hair, look for a white horse. If you see one you are probably a lucky person.

• When you see a white horse, make a wish, lick your thumb, and press it into the palm of your other hand. Stamp the wet palm with your fist while saying:

'Crisscross, white horse.'
If you stamp 'crisscross, white horse' 100 times, your wish should
come true in a month's time.
