The Legend of
Coin in a Log
Hidden in the forest near Gwynedd, North Wales, is one of mankind's most enchanting gifts: a “Wishing Tree” created by hammering a Coin in a Log of nearby felled timber.
A poignant display of Faith in a centuries-old tradition of latent allure.
It was long believed that a hammered Coin in a Log could rid a person of an illness, and that removing such a coin would garner affliction to an ill-fated soul.
This tradition blossomed into merely piercing the bark, leaving a driven coin in the wood in hopes that a wish may be granted.
The wishing tree lined with coins creates a sense of magic; an offering from those who yearn for something more.
Although a “wishing tree” may just be folklore, it remains true that a Coin in a Log can vivify and embolden your extraordinary story in an unforeseeable future.
