Horseshoes: Hang Your Luck

A horseshoe above the door is said to keep evil spirits out and let good luck in. Why? Iron was believed to ward off witches, and the horseshoe’s shape (like a crescent moon) was a symbol of protection. Just make sure it’s facing upwards so the luck doesn’t spill out!


Wishbone Wars: Break for Good Fortune

The humble wishbone isn’t just for turkey carving at Thanksgiving. This ancient tradition comes from the Romans, who believed that breaking the wishbone could bring you luck. Two people pull the bone, and the one with the bigger piece gets their wish granted. It’s all about muscle... and a little luck!


Four-Leaf Clovers:  Nature's Lucky Charm

Finding a four-leaf clover is like stumbling upon a jackpot in nature. Legend says each leaf symbolizes faith, hope, love, and luck. Since they’re a rare find (about 1 in 5,000), people believe that discovering one is a sign that good fortune is about to come your way.


Rabbit's Foot - Hop on Good Fortune

Why carry a rabbit’s foot? Dating back to Celtic and African folklore, this fluffy token was believed to bring luck, especially if it was from the left hind foot of a rabbit caught in a cemetery. Spooky, yet charming—modern carriers just focus on the "lucky rabbit" part.


Lucky Number 7: A Jackpot of Fortune

Seven is seen as the most mystical number, considered lucky in many cultures. From seven wonders of the world to seven days of creation, it represents perfection and good luck. Just think about hitting the jackpot on a slot machine—lucky 7s mean big wins!


Jade Charms: Green Gems of Luck

In many Asian cultures, jade is a symbol of prosperity, good health, and protection. People often wear jade bracelets or carry charms carved from this beautiful green stone to attract good fortune and keep negativity at bay. The brighter the green, the more powerful the luck!


Lucky Bamboo: The Plant that Grows Your Fortune

Forget money trees—lucky bamboo is what you need! With its beautiful stalks, lucky bamboo is thought to bring harmony, prosperity, and good fortune to those who keep it in their home. Arrangements with certain numbers of stalks are even said to bring specific types of luck—three for happiness, five for wealth, and so on.


These quirky, time-tested symbols show just how creative (and hopeful) humans can be when it comes to finding a little extra luck.
