Salt is believed to have a purifying effect, and as the paper dissolves in water, the wish is believed to rise up to the sky.

It’s important to watch as the words blend into the water and pray sincerely.

Its appeal also lies in how few tools it requires and how anyone can try it right away—it’s something you can do the moment you think of it.

If you put your heart into it, the sky might just answer your wish.

It’s a perfect method for those who want to wish for good weather while boosting their everyday luck.

When you want it to be sunny three days from now, this slightly elaborate charm is just the thing.

Prepare a stone about the size of your palm and place it in a dark spot, such as under your bed.

Lay a handkerchief in front of it, then arrange a mirror and a ten-yen coin on top, and chant three times: “Oh princess, oh princess, please grant us clear skies on the appointed day.” On the night of the following day, wrap a white thread once all the way around the stone, and on the final day, after saying “thank you” to express your gratitude, gently nudge the stone toward the north.

This series of steps is a process of settling the heart day by day.

By the time your layered prayers reach the sky, the weather may just have changed.

One way to help make your wishes about the weather come true is a concept called “pre-celebration.” This means assuming that something that hasn’t happened yet has already come to pass, and expressing gratitude and joy in advance.

For example, if you want sunshine on an important day, celebrate it wholeheartedly by the day before, saying, “I’m so glad it’s sunny—thanks to that, I had a wonderful day.” Speaking it aloud or writing it in a journal can also be effective.

By affirming the future within yourself, your heart feels brighter, and you may attract a favorable flow.

Rather than simply waiting for your wish, celebrate it ahead of time as a way of sending an early message to the heavens—a positive form of prayer.

Take out new shoes.

Take out new shoes.

This is a charm said to attract sunny weather by placing a new pair of shoes in the entryway the night before.

Leave them in their box or bag with the price tag still attached, and set them out before going to bed.

The next morning, remove the price tag and carefully wipe the shoes with a white cloth.

Place the shoes neatly side by side, put your hands together, and say, “Please give these shoes a chance to shine today.” With that, the ritual is complete.

It is believed that these shoes will open up your luck and even have a positive effect on the weather.

It requires little preparation, and as your anticipation for the day grows, your mood will naturally brighten as well.

A wish that begins at the doorstep can also give you the strength to take that first step forward.
