Four Leaf Clover; Is Your Luck Changing?

            Saint Patrick’s Day is coming around and we all could use a little luck right? The four leaf clover is one of the best ways to bring a little luck your way. There are other ways of course, but the four leaf clover seems like the perfect one for this up-coming holiday.

            You see, the Irish brought the four leaf clover to life. It is practically their trade mark. But in Ireland they call it a shamrock; coming from the Irish word seamrog, meaning little clover. That is where it branched off into four leaf clover. They say that St. Patrick used the clover to explain holy trinity. The leaves were supposed to stand for the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Lady Wilde once said that the clover “enlightens the brain and makes one see and know the truth.”

Many people mistake a three leaf clover for a four leaf one. Traditions say that the three leaf clover is not even luck. The “one of a kind” feature of the four leaf clover is supposed to make it lucky. While if you saw an ordinary three leaf clover, it would not mean anything. The four leaf clover is a universally accepted symbol of good luck with its origin ages old. According to legend, Eve carried a four leaf clover from the Garden of Eden.

            Four leaf clovers are not the only things that are lucky. You can get different things that you think will make yourself have more luck. For example, you can get horseshoes and rabbits feet. They are considered “lucky” and it seems to help people. There are also lucky numbers depending on your zodiac sign, or your astrology sign. Your horoscopes are supposed to tell your horoscopes, a guideline to what your day will encounter. But most people do not know that if you look deeper, it can show you your lucky numbers, what environment is best for you, and even what foods are good for your body!

            Four leave clovers can be found anywhere, from forest to jungle. But they say that if you go looking for one u will not find it, that you have to come across it. Because you can not go looking for luck, luck finds you. Let is hope you get lucky soon. :)
