A wishing stone is a magical stone or pebble that is found on the seashore and has a white quartz ring on it somewhere. The ring must be complete with no breaks or pauses in the circle it forms. The ring can be crossed by other rings, but must have no beginning and no end in order for the magic to work. When you find a wishing stone:
~ stand by the waters edge
~ hold it in your hand
~ close your eyes and make a silent wish
Once you’ve made a wish, throw the stone as far into the sea as you can…
…may all your wishes come true!
