Public wishing wells are places where you can make a wish and throw a coin into a well or fountain. Here are some common questions about public wishing wells near you:
The tradition of throwing coins into wells and making a wish has roots in ancient times. People believed wells and springs had healing properties or were home to spirits, so offerings like coins were thrown in as a way to barter for blessings or good fortune.
While there's no scientific evidence that wishes at wells come true, the act of wishing is believed by some to have positive psychological effects. Making a wish forces you to think positively about something you want, which can increase happiness and motivation to achieve goals.
To make a wish, stand at the edge of the well or fountain and close your eyes. Visualize your wish clearly in your mind, then toss a coin over your shoulder or into the water without looking back. Your wish is said to come true as long as you don't reveal it to others.
Most wishing wells ask that you donate coins rather than removing them. It's also polite not to litter and to be respectful of the space. Some wells may have boxes for written wishes instead of coin tosses to prevent damage to wildlife.
Famous examples vary by location but often include wells in public parks, gardens, or historic sites. Search online for "wishing wells near [your city]" to find public wells close to you that are open for wishes.
