Wish Stones and Lucky Totems


Have you experienced wishing for something you really want? Have you ever wished for love, money, or even a house? While most of us would take wishes as they are; that is, as something we can ask and hope for but not necessarily assured, then the concept of wishes is something fun and joyful. A wish is something that you want and hope for and you do not have to expect it to be true but deep inside, you hope and pray for it to become a reality. The act of making wishes is fun. It can be a child’s game for some while to others, it can be taken seriously. The act of wishing and believing in wishes reflect of our cultures and beliefs. In many cultures, for example, wish stones are much used to bring good luck, prosperity, love, and all kinds of positive ideas and energy.
Wish stones are small stones made of precious gemstones or material that have lucky inscriptions or carvings on them. These wish stones can usually be bought at feng shui stores, charm stores, and even accessories shops. People who believe in the idea of positive and negative energy, feng, shui, good and bad luck are all believers of the numerous benefits of wish stones.
How Can Wish Stones Be Used?
Wish stones can be used as part of jewelry or accessories. Necklace pendants or bracelet charms made of these lucky wish stones are very popular in many countries. They may be seen attached to necklaces as pendants or even worn as small earrings. Another way to use wish stones is to have them somewhere near you. If you do not wear the wish stones on your body as jewelry, you can opt to have them near by keeping them in your bag, pocketbook or purse. Having a wish stone handy can bring good luck to the person who has it and uses it. Of course, it is believed that aside from good luck, you can make your wishes true with every wish stone.
