Just before he died, a dear old gray cat, whose whiskers lie in this box, had left love and some wisdom in his whiskers.

 

A cat uses its whiskers to protect itself. Thanks to them, cats know whether they can fit into a tight space or not. Whiskers can be collected and used for protection, luck, and empowerment, especially during journeys - in this world or even in afterlife, where cats themselves can wander. If you burn a whisker, a wish will come true.

 

Touch the center of the box with your index finger and make a wish.
