Hey you guys~ o;
I just decided I should make a list of things that people can wish on. c: I'm not sure if there is one already or where I should put it, bear with me!
Birthday Candles
This is probably the best-known wishing method, and also the strongest, as it only comes once a year. This is not a wish you should waste on something like "I wish I would have pancakes for breakfast tomorrow."
With the cake in front of you, take a deep breath. The older you are, the more air you will need. Make your wish while you are still holding your breath. Now, blow. If you get all the candles blown out with one breath, you wish will come true.
Falling Stars
This is a nice wish, because multiple people can wish on the same star.
All you have to do is see a falling star, and make your wish. The only rule is that you must see the star yourself. A good time to get a wish like this is during a meteor shower.
First Star
This happens every day, so it's good for your more mundane wishing.
When you see the first star that appears in the night sky, recite this rhyme:
"Star light, star bright
First star I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight."
Then make your wish.
Wishbones
Wishbones are found in any whole cooked fowl. Generally, the larger the bird, the stronger the wish.
This wish takes some preparation, as you have to let the wishbone dry out before using it. Overnight is usually good enough, although if you're in a hurry you could put it in a low oven for a few hours. Once the wishbone is dry, get someone else to hold one end while you hold the other. Close your eyes and make a wish, then pull apart the wishbone on the count of three. Whoever gets the larger piece has their wish come true. In the extremely unlikely event that the pieces are equal, both wishes come true.
Necklace Clasps
When the clasp on your necklace is turned all the way around to the front, someone else can turn it back for you and tell you to make a wish.
This doesn't work if you do it for yourself, so it's a good idea to train all your friends to keep an eye out.
Eyelashes
When an eyelash falls out, blow it off your fingertip and make a wish. Don't pull them out, though, no matter how desperate you are- all that will get you is funny-looking eyelashes.
Some say this is like the necklace wish in that only someone else can do it for you. See eyelash wish for details.
Dandelions
This is a very difficult wish to make come true, so I would suggest trying it out with something that's not very important until you get the hang of it.
Get a dandelion that has gone to seed; that is, the soft white puffy kind. Make your wish, then try to blow all the down off it in one breath. If you get it all off in one puff, your wish will come true
Bugs
"so when you kill a bug of any kind, you have to connect your two pointer fingers i think it was together so they are like this in a straight line with your thumbs pointing up wards (☞☜) like that, and you have to go over to someone quick before 60 seconds pass and they have to basically break chop the bonding or connection on your fingers within that time and if they do it on time you make a wish. "Thanks, DeeDarling!
1000
In Japan, there was a story of Sadako Sasaki, a girl who died of leukemia. She had believed making 1000 paper cranes would make a wish come true, but she reached 644 before her death.
You can also make a wish making 1000 paper stars.Thanks, Skye of Hyrule!
That's it! Got anymore? Post them!
