A casumo’s guide to lucky rituals

Oh luck. Did ya know that in Poland you need to keep the scales of the fish eaten on Christmas eve to earn some good luck in the year to come? Or that in China it helps if you place a bamboo plant in the southeast corner of your home?

Well, things can get weirder than that of course. Some put on lucky shoes to help them cross their bridges, others wear special jewellery – not necessarily expensive, it could be something made from simple materials. The colour of garments is important to many, and some have special underwear for those special occasions when they need all the help they can get. Some perform their own custom rituals, like stomping their feet three times just before carrying out a task that requires luck, others touch their ears or noses or elbows – sometimes when wearing their lucky underwear and nothing else. Imagine that. Or don’t.

Keeping your baby teeth in a pouch on a string around your neck might sound as taking it too far, but hey, so is going around in dead people’s shoes. A handful of acorns in your pocket is said to work wonders and many believe the same of horseshoes. But do you put the horseshoe facing up or facing down? That’s the real dilemma.

Some call them talismans, others charms or amulets and they come in all shapes and sizes; frogs, toads, pigs, horns, rabbit feet and white elephants. Whatever form they take, their purpose is the same, that of attracting wealth, protecting against evil and bringing good luck.

Our favourite symbol is the unicorn. What’s yours?
