When the first half of my wish was manifested I made certain to express my deep gratitude. I thank the deity and the ancestors, and put the stone back on my altar. But I also feel that it's important to express my willingness to actually work for what I desire. A lot of it is in fact out of my hands I recognize that. I ask for the guidance I need, the strength and the wisdom to be able to do what I can to help manifest my desired outcome. In this particular instance, I also ask for the help of my ancestors, who have no doubt experienced similar problems to what I'm dealing with. I invoke the help of my patron deity, and speak of what I wish for. (some nights are better than others, honestly) I hold that stone between my hands, take a deep breath, and speak aloud. I take as long as I need to get in a relaxed state of mind. What I do: as part of my evening routine, after showering and changing into my sleepwear, I like to light a candle or two, and incense. I will do so until either a year and a day have passed, or until the other half of my wish is manifested. One half of my wish has already manifested the other half, not yet. See that somewhat rough, greyish one in the second picture down? I'm actually working with it now. It is however one that works for me your results may vary. Others will take it home, and not do anything with it until they feel moved to do so. Or silently visualize their wish in great detail. Some people use a specific rhyme, like a brief prayer or poem, to make their wish. Trusting to the Divine to work it out, according to your best interests. There's a certain simplicity and beauty to it speak your desire, your intention to the Universe. Turns out, some folks find a wishing stone, make a wish on the spot, then toss it into the ocean or river or whatever. I only know one way to use a wishing stone, my own way which I worked out for myself.

While there seems to be a clear consensus on what a wishing stone looks like (that single white stripe), the methods of use are varied. I know that 'enhanced' stones are popular for a lot of reasons, but I don't generally care for them and would never knowingly use any for magical/spellcraft purposes. Like it'd sat in a dish with a half-inch of garish artificial colorants. I picked it up, turned it over, and my eyes were assaulted by the bubblegum pink that the entire other side had been dyed. However I did keep my eyes peeled for any wishing stones offered for sale. The selection is of course out of this world. We have four of our own but that never stops us from admiring other people's pooches.Īnyway, I very rarely buy stones or crystals in Sedona. Enjoyable because 1) we have fun together wherever we are, and 2) it was a really gorgeous day. By mid afternoon it was getting kinda busy, but still not like it is in the summer. Rare because even during the so-called 'off season' Sedona can get pretty crowded. I'm writing this on a Sunday, today my kids and I took a rare and very enjoyable jaunt to Sedona. When buying any stones or crystals I recommend taking the time to locate a reputable source, and one which uses ethical and sustainable practices. But I have been known to buy stones, too. I enjoy the surprise of finding a special stone or other little gift of Nature. They can be found online and are not terribly expensive if you're having trouble finding any just laying around.

Small things I've found here, including a fossil shell, a potsherd, and two wishing stones.
