The good luck charms that we have today may have originated from a certain culture. Almost all the cultures around the globe reveres a certain object and use it as their personal charm. Through all seven continents, the use of charms and amulets is really prevalent. Contrary to our mediocre belief, these charms and amulets may be made from makeshift and crude materials. It doesnt necessarily have to be crafted out of a precious piece of crystal. Bones, shells, clay, mud, seeds and any natural object can be turned in to a precious charm which is believed to contain invincible clouts. The use of these charms also depends on your personal belief and conviction. To date, there are actually 27 listed objects which are good luck charm symbols. It can be an animal, natural objects and numbers. In this article, we will start off with animals and natural objects.
Insects Would you believe that insects can be good luck charm symbols? Well, at this point, you should start to convince yourself that indeed they are. Here is the list of insects which are believed to possess good luck in them.
1. Cricket- These insects are considered a sign of good luck in Asia. This was even made popular in the hit Disney movie, Mulan. Do you remember Cri-kee?
2. Dragonfly- You will usually find loads of these insects fluttering around an open field. I can still even remember when I was still in elementary school and we would usually catch them right after class. Well, seems like you shouldnt be doing the same stuff because dragonflies bring luck. It means bountiful rice harvest. When you can see lots of dragonflies dashing around, be grateful because more rice will be stored in the food basket.
3. Scarabs- These may sound like Arabs but these insects do not really originate from the Arabian continent. Scarabs are from Egypt and considered sacred during the primordial times. These are lucky beetles.
4. Ladybug- When this cute bug lands on you, dont freak out. Instead be thankful because this is a sign of luck. So be merry, luck is surely coming your way.
Natural Objects The things that we see around us actually bear some sort of luck. Let us get to know what these objects are and so we may try to believe in its charm, too.
1. Acorn- This is an oak nut. The acorn and the oak tree are believed to carry good luck charm in them. This belief originated from the Norse mythology and was perceived to bear good fortune. If you also put it on the windowsill, they say it will help avoid lightning from striking your abode.
2. Rainbow- You may think that this sounds clich but the rainbow is another symbol of luck. We have that aphorism that at the end of a rainbow there is a pot of gold. Sure enough, the rainbow is a sign of luck because it bears the number 7 and the beautiful colors which in itself are already carrier of luck.
