Lucky charms!!

I have had a bit of a sort out of some drawers in my study and I found a small Good Luck charm which was my mothers, she was very superstitious.

It is 'Joan the Wad' and I can not remember her ever briging good luck, unless you count not having much bad luck in my life her good luck. lol

Anyway, the question is, have you any 'Good Luck' charms or momentoes that you hold lucky?

Re: Lucky charms!!

I did have something similar to Joan The Wad, although I am not really a believer in lucky charms. She was made out of a bit of clay stuck onto a 2" slice of onyx. She was a very ugly little thing lying naked on her back with her arms tucked behind her head. It was definitely a female. She had a wide toothless grin and was wearing a large pointed hat. I kept her on my mantle for a long time, and then I used to sit her in amongst a pot of flowers in the garden, but she came off the onyx and she became lost somewhere in the house and forgotten about.

Re: Lucky charms!!

I never had a lucky charm and I count myself among the non superstitious. I don't hold with it being unlucky to walk under ladders etc. But having said that I do have a lucky number, which I use on my lottery ticket. Just the one mind but considering I'm still as poor as a church mouse it seems to be not so lucky

Re: Lucky charms!!

I bought a Joan The Wad fridge magnet when we were down in St Ives but it seperated from the magnet and fell off the freezer door smashing into pieces.After that I didn't think it was going to bring us any luck..............

Re: Lucky charms!!

Oh dear annie, I've always cut my nails on a Friday It was always my tittivating night. Hubby used to go to the pub with friends and I would cut and polish my nails, do myself a face pack, have a long soak in a bubble bath..you know the sorts of things ladies

I was given a Piskie many years ago and it is still in my box of trinkets. But I'm not superstitious..though I hope the devil hasn't collected my nails..'knock on wood'
