Wish Makers

Wish Makers Make A Wish 32. A Wishing Well A wishing well is a place where you toss a coin (another symbol of good luck) and make a wish. The ancients believed that a token gift to the gods would keep the wells from running dry. They and others also believed that the gods of the sea could be kept happy if a few coins were occasionally thrown their way as a tribute. A custom observed all over the world, says that if you look for your reflection in the water and then make a wish after throwing a coin into it, the wish will be granted. But when in Rome, remember that their sea gods will accept no less than three coins. 33. Wishbone A wishbone is a symbol of good luck. It also is a wish maker. Two people tug on the wishbone, each making a wish. After the wishbone breaks, the person with the bigger piece will have their wish granted. 34. Stray Eyelash A stray eyelash is seen as a wish maker, much like the wishbone. If a stray eyelash falls upon your cheek, place it on your finger, make a wish, then blow the eyelash away. 35. Falling Star A falling star or a "shooting" star as it is sometimes called, grants the person lucky enough to see it, a secret wish.
