Four-leaf Clover

According to legend, the luck of the four-leaf clover goes back to Eve, who supposedly carried one out of the Garden of Eden. Others believe in their power because they’re simply so rare to find. For every 10,000 three-leaf clovers, there is only one four-leaf. The four leaves represent faith, hope, love and luck. Four-leaf clovers may be the best-known good luck charm in the West, and an icon of St. Patrick’s Day. St. Patrick supposedly used a three-leaf clover to teach the faithful about the Holy Trinity – the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost – and this is where clovers may have gotten their reputation. Four-leaf clovers are far rarer than three-leaf clovers and finding such a treasure is practically proof of one’s good luck. They also come with delightful lore: carrying one revealed Fairies hiding behind flowers.

Ladybug

What does it mean when you see a ladybug? Many believe a ladybug (sometimes referred to as a ladybird) embodies "Lady Luck" or good fortune and prosperity. To see one in your house is a good omen as they were believed to help farmers in the Middle Ages since they feed on pests like aphids that destroy crops. It is believed that killing a ladybug can curse you with bad luck and that having one around you can cure you of illness.

Heart

In many cultures the heart represents love. Greeks believed the heart was the center for reason, thought, and emotion. In Roman Catholicism, it is believed that the "Sacred Heart" represents God's love. The upside-down triangle is also thought to have contributed to symbolism of the heart. Seeing hearts in nature—in the clouds and in patterns—might be a positive omen to open your heart to possibility.

Chimney Sweep

Chimney sweeps represent happiness, wealth, and luck. Old English legend has it that King George was riding his horse in a royal procession when a dog darted out from the crowd, startling his horse and almost throwing him. A poor chimney sweep caught the horses' halter just in time and soothed the horse, essentially saving the king from being thrown.

Mushroom

According to German legend finding a red-capped mushroom with white spots or 'gluckspilz' (literally lucky mushroom) is a sign of good fortune. It is also known as the Christmas mushroom and brings with it blessings for the New year.
