It was a much different affair than our trip in 2006 when we went during the festival and the shrine was packed (we were in the middle of our move back here when that took place) and it gave a completely different perspective on the shrine.

Instead of simply throwing the coins back into my coin jar, I thought it would be fun to send them out to other bloggers so that they could make a wish to the God of Wealth. Then they can pass the good luck coin along to one of their readers who can make a wish and so on down the line. Then whoever has the coin at the end of this year, can send it back to me and I will take it to the shrine again and this time give it to the God of Wealth so that everyone’s request can be heard.

It sounds like a church in northern Brazil (o Senhor do Bomfim (Mr. Goodend)). You buy these ribbons and make a wish and tie three knots. When it breaks, the wish comes true. Money, Love, whatever. Some people put them on their wrists and really scrub to speed up the process. Some put them on their license plates. Really anywhere, where eventually they'll wear off. Fascinating.
