If it's not your birthday, and you don't have candles to wish on, you can choose to wish on a dandelion on this day. To do this, pick a dandelion that has turned white and is ready to be blown away. Make a wish, and try to blow away all the seeds with one breath, like you would birthday candles. If you can blow all the seeds away in one breath, you will get your wish! Another version of this spell goes: If you can blow all the seeds away in one breath, your wish will come true immediately. If seeds remain, count them; the number of seeds is equal to the number of days until you will get your wish.
