If you find a four-leaf clover, make a wish on it. As you wish on it, hold it over your head or put it in your shoe.
Another tradition is that after you have wished on a four-leaf clover, toss it away, or if you see one, do not pick it, but make a wish and the chances of it coming true will grow as the clover grows.
Yet another: say the following chant while touching each clover leaf in turn:
'One leaf for fame,
One leaf for wealth,
One for a faithful lover,
One for glorious health;
All in this four-leafed clover.'
When you have finished saying the chant, twirl the clover between two fingers of your right hand and make a wish for one of the four things the clover holds for you.
If you find a four-leaf clover in spring, eat it as you make a wish.
If you find a four-leaf clover on your birthday, pick it, cradle it in your palms, and say:
'Birthday, four-leaf clover,
Now I turn you over.
(Turn over the clover.)
Here's my wish.
(Whisper the wish into your palm.)'
A birthday clover is supposed to be especially powerful.
When you find a four-leaf clover, pick it without breaking off any leaves, make a wish on it, and carry it with you the next 24 hours. If any leaves break off during these 24 hours, your wish will not come true.
