Lucky Charms: How Do They Work?

We all refer to good luck as a great influence on our actions and results, and amulets, talismans, symbols and lucky charms remain guardians and triggers of positive events. The question that comes to one’s mind concerns the efficiency of such items for the wearers. Certain objects have the capacity to store and emit positive or negative energy, influenced by their structure, and scientific tests have actually been run to analyze the level of energy specific to living organisms and objects. There are two sources of energy for lucky charms, in general: personal belief and sacred consecration. Here is the way this mechanism works.

Lucky charms charge with a superior amount of energy absorbed from believers: people who are convinced that a horseshoe symbol brings them luck initiate a transfer of the positive energy of their belief onto the charm. Moreover, when a sacred ritual involving blessings or other religious rites is used for the charging of an amulet, then part of the the grace and divine energy specific to the ritual are accumulated by the charms as such. According to statistics, 30% of the lucky charms wearers have improved their fortune by trusting the power of their symbols.

Furthermore, lucky charms do not work on their own, as the wearer has to take a proactive approach to all life aspects. Actions come first, and if they work against the law of good nature, then, the disturbance becomes manifest in the inefficiency of the lucky charms. From one culture to another, different symbols and representations have received an important part in the guarding of our good fortunes: the horseshoe, the Rudraksh, lockets, the swastika, the om symbol and several others. Mention must be made that an element that functions as a lucky charm in one culture is totally void of such a significance in another.

The most conclusive example of lucky charms that characterize one culture only remains the swastika. In Indian symbolism, the swastika stands for Ganesh, the Hindu deity of good fortune, and it differs in design from the Nazi Swastika by the angle at which it is placed. The Nazi meaning is the best known and few people have ever heard of the Indian good fortune sign. Even so, in Western cultures, the swastika suggests only a dark period in the history of humanity without any touch of positive thought whatsoever. Though not as striking as this example, other lucky charms mean great things for a culture, and remain anonymous for another.
