1. Horseshoe:
Horseshoes, which are traditionally made of iron, have been used for centuries as good luck charms. It’s believed that the horseshoe was traditionally hung over doorways to ward off evil spirits.
It’s said that the superstition came from an old pagan tradition where people would use horse shoes on their doors to keep demons and witches out of their homes.
2. Four leaf clover:
The four-leaf clover is one of the most popular lucky charms of all time. It is believed to bring good luck and prosperity to its owner, and is thus often used as a good luck charm for students taking exams. It’s also used as a symbol of Ireland, reflecting its Irish origins as well as its rarity (only 1/10,000 clovers are said to have four leaves).
In addition to being common in Ireland and other parts of Europe where they grow naturally, you can find them on Etsy or create them yourself using their template!
3. Rabbit’s foot:
Commonly believed to be a good luck charm, the rabbit’s foot is actually more of just a fun novelty. That being said, it is still a great way to bring some good vibes into your life.
The legend of the Rabbit’s Foot can be traced back almost 2,000 years ago when ancient Greeks and Romans used it as a talisman for fertility and pregnancy; they also used them in their rituals against evil spirits.
In modern times, people have been known to carry around rabbit’s feet as an amulet or good luck charm during times of distress or uncertainty because they believe that carrying one will bring them luck or protection from harm. The belief behind this falls under Chinese Feng Shui because it helps with feng shui practices such as balancing chi energy flow within your home/office space (which leads directly into abundance and prosperity).
4. Lucky coin:
Lucky coins are talismans with a reputed power to bring good fortune. Their shape, size and design vary widely; they may be round or square, flat or domed and made of various metals.
The most common material used for lucky coins is silver, which can be found in the form of a solid disk (typically 3-4 cm in diameter), or one that features an emblematic design such as a head or animal image (in this case usually around 2 cm).
Lucky coin necklaces are also available: these are usually made from silver chains with a pendant representing one side of the coin on which you can engrave your own personal wishes (and then wear it on yourself as you go about your day).
5. The number 7-Jackpot in Las Vegas
The number 7 is a very lucky number in many cultures. In the United States, this belief is particularly prevalent with gamblers, who often wear it as jewelry or write it on their clothing. For example:
- The number of wins at the Kentucky Derby since 1875 (the first year records were kept) was 19 for horses wearing bib numbers ending in “7” and 20 for those with bib numbers ending in “1” (this doesn’t include winning jockeys).
- The odds of winning at roulette are 1/37 – lower than any other bet on the table except for red/black which pays 1/38.
- There have been only six presidents that had their last name begin with ‘T’. Five of them won reelection to a second term; one lost reelection; and one resigned before completing his first term!
The horseshoe is a common lucky charm.
Horseshoes are a common symbol of luck in many cultures and can be found throughout history. The Greeks believed that the horseshoe was created by blacksmiths, who were believed to have magical powers. In Ireland, people believe that the horseshoe protects against evil spirits and brings good luck to whoever owns it. It is also said that if you hang your nail-less shoes above your bed, it will prevent nightmares.
In England during World War II, when pilots were stationed in the Middle East there was a shortage of metal for making ammunition clips or even bullets so they made them from old horseshoes!
