Every time you so much as toast a drink with friends or blow out a birthday candle, you are tapping into the world of good luck symbols and superstitions. From everyday actions we scarcely think about to crystals, talismans, totemic objects and amulets, every culture on earth has traditions of luck and good fortune.
Whether it is an evil eye to ward off bad spirits or a Japanese ’waving’ cat for prosperity, each of the 50 entries included in the book gives background on that symbol’s origins and history, including myths, legends and cultural or religious significances, followed by ways to use it in rites and rituals. Interspersed throughout are fun facts about famous people and their chosen good-luck symbol, as well as ’beware’ boxes on bad luck signs.
