Four-Leaf Clovers For Good Luck

If a man walking in the fields find any four-leaved grass, he shall in a small while after find some good thing.

The leaves of four-leaf clovers are said to stand for faith, hope, love, and luck.

Four-leaf clovers commonly appear in centuries-old legends as symbols of good luck. The Druids (Celtic priests), in the early days of Ireland, believed that when they carried a three-leaf clover or shamrock, they could see evil spirits coming and have a chance to escape in time. Four-leaf clovers were Celtic charms, presumed to offer magical protection and ward off bad luck.

• Rare Good Fortune – it is thought that each leaf of a clover represents something. The first three represent faith, hope , and love . If you come across one that has a fourth leaf, it represents luck.
• Protection – anyone who brings with him a four-leaf clover is expected to be spared from accidents or unfortunate events.
• Link to Parallel Universes – the rare leaf is believed to be a portal, an access point that could open up parallel worlds where the supernatural reside.
• Balance – four-leaf clovers have impeccable symmetry that is absent on most leaves, which usually have alternating or random leaf positioning. The bearer of a four-leaf clover is said to achieve balance — the key to a happy life.
