7 Lucky Symbols from Around the World
and how to use them
Some people see luck as an ephemeral power that comes and goes with no real rhyme or reason. Others recognize luck as a pliable source of energy that you can direct and draw upon to manifest your desires. Take control of the luck in your life and incorporate these 7 lucky symbols into your regular practice.
Acorn
The acorn is sacred in both Greek and Norse mythology. Wiccans once used this powerful item to identify one another.
Symbol of perseverance and patience, as oak trees take a long time to mature.
Protection during thunderstorms, as this charm is thought to safeguard against lightning strikes.
Shield against pain and sickness.
Tuck an acorn into a charm pouch or wear one on a necklace to provide good luck in health and stormy times.
Four Leaf Clover
Celtic legend states that four-leaf clovers ward off bad luck and keep evil away.
The four leaves symbolize: faith, hope, love, and luck. It's the fourth leaf that stands for luck, so three-leaf clovers aren't lucky.
Place the clover under your pillow to ward off bad dreams, or give it to a friend to pass along the luck.
Nazar Boncugu
A popular talisman in the Middle East, the Nazar Boncugu is especially popular in Turkey.
This talisman represents malicious looks and the negative energy and intent of the evil eye. The Nazar Boncugu utilizes the concept of "an eye for an eye" and deflects these energies.
Wear this talisman as an amulet or bracelet charm. If the Nazar Boncugu cracks, this means that it has successfully dispelled evil energy directed at you.
Kokopelli
Kokopelli is an ancient Native American symbol that originated in what is now New Mexico. It is closely associated with the Hohokam, Hopi, and Zuni peoples.
Symbol of happiness and joy.
Harbinger of springtime and fertility.
Spirit of playful trickery.
Display Kokopelli in your home to invite his festive spirit of fortune and prosperity into your living space.
Om
The Om symbol originated in Hinduism and Buddhism.
Om is said to be the first sound uttered upon the creation of the universe. Speaking it aloud is believed to unite the mind, body, and spirit.
Display the Om symbol in your meditation space or on your altar to help you center yourself.
Bamboo
The Indian system of Vastu Shastra and ancient Chinese practice of Feng shui identify bamboo as lucky.
Bamboo brings luck, wealth, and good fortune.
Grow a lucky bamboo plant with 3 or 9 stalks in the wealth corner (far left from the entrance) of your office or living space to promote luck in your finances. Place a lucky bamboo with two stalks in the kun corner (far right from the entrance) of your bedroom for luck in love. Always seek straight bamboo stalks.
Chinese Lucky Number 8
Eight is considered lucky in China because the Cantonese word for eight is "bā," which sounds like "fā cái," which means "to get rich." Chinese numerology is filled with superstitious turns of language like this.
Eight is associated with wealth, success, and good fortune.
Plan important events like purchasing a home or getting married for a date that has the number 8 in it.
You don't have to sit back and wait for luck to find its way into your life. Make your own luck by incorporating these powerful symbols into your regular routines. Speak to a psychic for more insights into upping your manifestation practice and creating the life you want.
