Luck Symbols


"Health I bring you, Happiness too, Wealth herein, And all for you." Everyone knows of the signs of bad luck and the differences among countries. However, few know the symbols and signs of luck. A rabbit's foot is one symbol of luck. R. E. Shay said "Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit." In terms of symbols and signs of good fortune and luck, it depends on an individual's personal beliefs. In a few words, to each his own. Perhaps the most universally recognized and well known of the symbols is the horseshoe. An upright used horseshoe placed at the top right corner of the door frame is said to bring good luck into the home. The nut of the Rudraksh tree can be found in parts of Indonesia, the Himalayas and Malaysia. The beads represent one part of the divine Hindu trinity, Lord Shiva. While being worn close to an individual, lucky charm lockets take the form of many luck symbols. Three keys worn together on a key ring are said to unlock the doors to wealth, health and love. The nut of an oak tree carried the gift of youth to the individual who carries it. The journey of the soul to the other realm is represented in the form of feathers and feathers is the ancient charm for good luck. The renewal of life is symbolized by the jewerly worn of an ancient Egyptian amulet. A bat is a symbol of good fortune in the east. Four leaf and three leaf clovers also are widely recognized symbols of good luck.
