3 Ways To Work Magic With Wishing Stones
3 Ways To Work Magic With Wishing Stones
SL Bear
This is why I love wishing stones. 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. I love the
idea of finding them while walking around outside and then
saving them for when you need a little luck. Over the years, I’ve
saved quite a few of them — my rainy day wishes.
Lately, I’ve had a few rainy days and, among other things, I
turned to my wishing stones. It had actually been awhile since I
used one so I went online to see the different methods people had
for wishing. Honestly, I was left a little disappointed. 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. Before I used the wishes I’d been
saving, I wanted to make sure I used them to their absolute fullest
potential. After some thought, I decided on three new methods,
and now I want to share these methods with you.
So, now that you’ve collected your stones, how do you use them?
Hold hands with your partner and place the wishing stone
between your palms, then firmly clasp hands. 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. For example, “our
trip is safe” or “we are healthy.” If needed, say the wish aloud.
Method: On the last day of the month, a day prior to making your
wish, dig a hole big enough for your wishing stone on the east
side of your home. Make sure it’s deep enough for the stone to be
completely covered with no chance of erosion or exposure. At
midnight on the first official day of the month, close your wishing
stone in your hands and make your wish. Meditate on your wish
for as long as you feel necessary and at least long enough to warm
the stone in your hands as much as you can. This process may
take a while depending on the size of your stone, but that’s
beneficial to you because the more time you spend clarifying and
focusing on your wish’s intentions, the better.
Once the stone is warm, go outside and bury it in the hole you dug
earlier. Pack the earth tightly so the stone will be undisturbed, and
mark the spot so you can find it easily.
On the very last day of the same month, and again at the very last
moment (midnight), unearth the stone and bring it inside. Make a
warm salt water bath and wash the stone so it is as clean as when
you found it. At sunrise, the next day, take the stone back to
nature and thank it for its work. If possible, take the stone east,
toward the sunrise and leave it in a place where the sunlight
touches it.

Protips!
You can buy wishing stones online if you’re not having any
luck finding them where you live.
After all the work finding the stone, some may not be so
ready to part with it once the wish has been granted. This is
obviously up to you, but I think you’ll have a better chance of
having your wish come true if you discard the stone. Unlike
your quartz and amethyst and the loyal stones you may carry
with you or place on your altar, wishing stones don’t belong to
you. Think of them as little spirits who come into your life
temporarily to help, who you then release so they can help
someone else.
