As the new year approaches, we consider dreams we want to come true, and we make our wishes known to those around us. There is an easy way to obtain a talisman that helps our wishes manifest. The Wishbone is a forked bone formed by the fusion of the clavicles of most fowl. Save a wishbone from your turkey feast, or request one from a friend if you are a vegetarian. Clean the meat off the bone by boiling it in a pot of water. Make sure an adequate amount of water is used. Boil this for twenty minutes. Sanitize the bone by setting it in a bowl and covering it with some bleach dissolved in water. Place the bowl in a sunny spot for one full day. Then rinse and dry the wishbone. Hang it on a nail in the kitchen, above the hearth, or above your altar, or carry it in a mojo bag or pierce it and string it around your neck. You don't have to break it ritualistically for wishes to come true. Using it, intact, as a talisman will also attract wishes, remind you of any resolutions, hopes, and dreams for the new year.
