The wishing stone appears often in folklore; it must be used for good, not evil, or it will have no power.
A stone with a hole in it is a 'wishing stone.' After making your wish, place the stone near your bed or over a doorway. The stone retains its powers and can be wished on again and again. The wishing stone with a hole in it probably derives from the 'hag-stone,' a naturally perforated piece of flint used as a charm against evil or hung around the neck for good luck.
(Europe)
Any stone from a place that is a 'spirit-home' to you (close to your heart) can be endowed as a wishing stone. Rub the stone gently as you make your wish. The more often it is used for good, the more powerful it becomes.
If you find a round stone, spit on it and throw it over your left shoulder as you make a wish.
(England)
As you skip a stone across a body of water, make a wish. Count the number of times it skips. If it skips an even number of times, your wish will come true; if it skips an odd number, the wish will not come true.
