History: An ancient Chinese tradition that traveled to Europe, where I discovered it in an Italian bakery in the 1960’s while buying cookies. The baker instructed me to roll my cookie wrapper in my hand & make a wish. He then set the paper on a dish and lit it with a match. Magically, my Wish paper ash lifted, flying upwards, twirled a few times and then floated down. The baker told me to catch it - my wish had come true.
