Throwing a coin into a well and making a wish dates back to a time when people believed that gentle prayers to the water spirits could ward off floods and droughts. Some cultures regard the stars as protective angels, and we still wish upon them today. And who can resist throwing a coin into a fountain, or blowing a candle, while expressing some secret wish ?
Making a wish helps people to express their desires, to believe in the possible, to achieve their hopes and dreams . . . .
