wishing

I keep three wishes ready,
Lest I should chance to meet,
Any day a fairy
Coming down the street.

I'd hate to have stammer,
Or have to think them out,
For it's very hard to think things up
When a fairy is about.

And I'd hate to lose my wishes,
For fairies fly away,
And perhaps I'd never chance
On any other day.

So I keep three wishes ready,
Lest I should chance to meet,
Any day a fairy
Coming down the street.

**From blowing dandelion seeds into the air to throwing a penny into a fountain, we have all felt inspired to make a wish, to whisper our secret desires into the ears of the universe and wait for signs that we have been heard. Some wishes come true while others remain ethereal visions that either stay with us or fade like a start in the light of morning. Whether they come true or not, wishes are important missives, expressing our heart’s desire as well as our intention to create something new in our lives. When we wish for something our consciousness opens to receiving it, like a flower unfolding its petals to receive a bee.

If you have given up wishing in favour of more adult pursuits you might want to bring its magick back into your life. The next time you see the first star of the evening or find yourself in front of a birthday cake covered in flaming candles give yourself the gift of the magickal realm that you knew so well as a child – close your eyes, open your mind and make your wish ***
