Four Leaf Clover
If you find a four-leaf clover, make a wish on it. (This is the simplest
ritual of many connected with the "lucky clover.") A general tradition is
that the four-leaf clover is considered "lucky" and often carried as a
talisman.
As you wish on a four-leaf clover, hold it over your head.
If you find a four-leaf clover, make a wish as you put it in your shoe.
After you have wished on a four-leaf clover, toss it away.
If you find a four-leaf clover, do not pick it, but make a wish, and the
chances of your wish coming true will grow as the clover grows.
If you find a four-leaf clover, say the following chant while touching each
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. (You can press the clover between the pages of a
book.)
When you find your first 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.
If you are unmarried, and find a four-leaf clover, put it in your shoe and
wish to find a sweetheart. If you've walked at least three hours with the
clover in your shoe, and all the leaves are still on the clover, your wish
will come true within three months.
If you find a four-leaf clover in any month but May, pick it, make a wish,
and put it in your left shoe.
If you find a four-leaf clover, pick it and then kiss it as you make your
wish. Put it in your shoe and remove it the day you want your wish to come
true.
Put a four-leaf clover in your shoe as you make your wish; when the clover
gets lost, you will get your wish. (Clearly, it can only be "lost" by
accident.)
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 twenty-four hours. If any
leaves break off during these twenty-four hours, your wish will not come
true.
