Good Luck > Symbols
Tassels & Fringe
In the Middle East, people believe that evil spirits will go to great length to avoid anything with either tassels or fringe.
In ancient Europe, tassels were worn to guarantee happiness.
Pig
In old times, when food and money were scarce, having a pig to eat was a sign of good fortune. In Germany, people acknowledge good luck with the saying "you have had pig".
The pig is considered a good luck charm, much like the four-leaf clover or rabbit's foot.
Horseshoe
One of the most popular symbols of good luck. The prongs have to face up or the luck will run out.
