A Stroke of Lucky Charms
Everyone wants to have good luck in their lives. In whatever aspect, hopes of good fortune and wishes of good luck accompany the prayers of people - regardless of race, culture, and belief.
The Chinese culture is among the many cultures rich in beliefs and practices said to attract good fortune. Dragons, for example, are believed to symbolize good luck, success, and long life. Another popular symbol from Chinese mythology is the two-sided Golden Cat. Said to be the bringer of good luck, protection, and abundance, the smiling face of the Golden Cat is usually found in Chinese-owned stores and restaurants. Turn the figure around and you will see the Golden Cat holding a broom with a frowning face. This side of the Golden cat is believed to provide protection as it sweeps your troubles and worries away.
However, if you are not familiar with Chinese mythology or with other cultural beliefs and practices to attract good luck, wearing a sterling silver charm with the symbols of horseshoes, four-leaf clovers, or dragonflies is just what you need. Worn as pendants or bracelet charms, these three symbols are all said to attract good fortune. Also, a young woman who is able to collect thirteen different charms on her sterling silver Italian charm bracelet is said to be able to reverse the meaning of the number, hence bring good luck upon herself.
In the end, whatever silver charm you decide to wear, it is always best to accompany the charm with hard work and perseverance to attain its full effect.
