The Swastika forms a combination of four Ls standing for Luck, Light, Love
and Life. It has been found in excavations of ancient Rome, Grecian cities, as
also on ancient Buddhist idols and on Chinese coins dated as early as 315 B.C.
American Indians used it as an Juicy Couture Charms
to drive away evil and for good luck, long life and prosperity to the possessor.
It is also an auspicious symbol used by people of the Hindu religion. Its use by
the Nazis in the Second World War caused some damage to its reputation in the
west as a symbol of luck.

The Rabbit's Foot The belief that a rabbit's foot is lucky is common in
American culture, but at one time in the past, this belief was considered a
superstition, especially one of Afro-American origin. In earlier decades, it was
only the left hind foot of the rabbit that was considered lucky and the wearer
had to rub it to bring on good luck. This was because people noticed in
amazement that when a rabbit ran, its hind feet went ahead of its front ones.
Therefore, the hind feet were considered lucky. Some people also believed that
the rabbit's foot was a source of protective magic.

The Horseshoe There is good reason to believe that the crescent form of the
juicy couture links the symbol to the Juicy Couture Jewelry, and that the
protection invoked is that of the goddess herself, or, more particularly, of her
sacred vulva. In regions where the horseshoe is placed facing upward, folks
believe the horseshoe must point up "or the luck runs out." In places where it
is hung facing downward, they say exactly the opposite - "it must point down so
the luck can pour onto you." However, when it is placed over the doorways of
barns and stables, the horseshoe usually points downward, and it is said that
Ono witch will pass under it.

Abracadabra This was used by the Gnostics in Rome to invoke the beneficient
spirits against disease and death. Sammonicus, the Gnostic physician, believed
that the letters of the magical triangle which he used for curing aches and
fevers, were to be written on paper, folded into the shape of a cross, worn for
nine days around the neck, and, before sunrise, cast behind the patient into a
stream running eastward. It was also a popular charm during the Great Plague of
1665.

Four-Leaf Clover All plants and clovers have leaf arrangements in sets of
three. A four-leafed clover is a very rare occurrence and therefore considered
lucky. One who finds a four-leafed clover is believed to be lucky. The clover
must be plucked and kept for continued luck.

The Wishbone The hen and the rooster were popular in ancient birdlore. Since
the hen cackled when she laid an egg and the cock crowed at the beginning of the
day, it was believed that these fowls had special powers and could answer human
questions. After the hen oracle was performed, the fowl was sacrificed to a
special god. Its collarbone was saved and hung in the sun to dry. The person
seeking an answer from God made a wish on the bone, which gave it its name - the
wishbone. Afterwards two people snapped the dry bone, each making his own wish.
The person holding the longer end was believed to be granted his wish.
