In early religions, the triangle was a symbol of life. A ladder leaning against a wall or tree forms a triangle. This may be why ladders have come to be wish-ons.
If you see a ladder, cross your fingers and make a wish. If you want your wish to come true, keep them crossed until you see a dog.
(England)
If you see a ladder and very soon afterward see four dogs, you should cross your fingers and make a wish.
(England)
If you see a ladder, cross your fingers and keep them crossed until you have seen three dogs and three horses. Then make a wish.
(England)
If you walk under a ladder, make a wish, then spit.
