Popular Charms for Good Fortune

As an astrology website, we often get enquiries from people who want to know which lucky charm can help them to win the lottery. It is possible to make such a recommendation and the details of how this can be done are explained in link given above. But, let's cut straight to a list of some of the time tested, luck drawing objects that people from around the world use as effective sources of good luck. Described below are some well known and not-so-common good luck charms that can be procured at little, or no cost. These examples do not have any connection with black magic or sorcery and hence, can have no adverse effects:

The Om or Aum symbol
In Hindu mythology, Om, also spelt AUM is believed to be the first sound (read vibration) to pervade through the universe, at the beginning of time. This was the sound of God bringing the universe into existence. Almost all Mantras are also initiated by reciting the word 'Om'. This symbol is in fact the word 'Om' written in 'Devanagri' () script, that is in Sanskrit. Worshippers of this sacred symbol are blessed with luck, inner peace and spiritual powers, as it is believed that to realise 'Om' is to merge with the 'Absolute' and therby attain everything.
Three lucky charms made of crystal
Crystals signify purity, as the presence of any material or impurity other than the atoms that make up the crystal lattice, show up as inclusions or alter the crystal's colour. The human head has a resonant frequency of 20-30 Hz, while the human heart has a frequency of 50-100 Hz. Although crystals resonate at much higher frequencies, these frequencies are very precise and crystals are thought to excite favourably at the elevated frequencies of the spiritual energy produced through prayer, meditation and chanting. Hence, a lucky charm made out of such a material will have increased positive spiritual energy and greater powers. The practice of healing through crystals is thought to date back several thousand years.
An unmoounted rudraksh bead
The nut of the Rudraksh tree that can be found in parts of the Himalayas, Indonesia and Malaysia. There are 38 different types. Rudraksh beads represent Lord Shiva, part of the divine Hindu trinity. This very powerful and auspicious charm bestows spiritual powers, good health, fame and material happiness. Rudraksh beads are used for making 108 bead rosaries for chanting Mantras, so as to increase the effect and power of the Mantra. Although these rosaries are a product of the ancient Vedic period, through modern science, we now know that the figure '108' is of particular relevance, as the distance between the Earth and the Sun is approximately 108 times the Sun's diameter. The Sun's diameter is about 108 times that of the Earth's. The distance between the Earth and the Moon is approximately 108 times the Moon's diameter. It is perhaps possible that the ancient sages determined that there 108 steps between our ordinary human awareness and our inner divinity. As to how they determined the distances between these celestial bodies, with such accuracy, remains a mystery.

A lucky charm for attraction & love.
The Vashikaran talisman shown here, increases one's powers of influence (attraction) and is a powerful love talisman, but this is not limited to just attracting of members of the opposite gender. This love charm is also used to improve other types of personal and professional relationships, by providing the wearer with greater powers of influence.
A lucky horseshoe mounted in an upright position
Admittedly, horseshoes are not uncommon symbols of luck. They are perhaps, the most well known and universally recognised symbols of good fortune and are hence worthy of a mention. A common question about horseshoes is, "Should a horseshoe be placed up or down?" There are conflicting views, but for the best results, placing an upright, used horseshoe at the top right corner of your front door-frame is considered to be an invitation to good luck to enter your home. That is, the open end of the horseshoe should be placed upwards. Similarly, placing a used horseshoe in a North facing, upright position inside a building brings good fortune and increases the ambient positive spiritual energy in the building. According to Vedic Astrology, a horseshoe worn by a black horse protects against the malefic effects of Saturn or 'Shani Dev'.
A brass Swastik pendant
The word 'Swastik' is the combination of two Sanskrit terms, 'Su' meaning good and 'Asti' meaning to happen. Hence the actual meaning of the word 'Swastik' is, 'Let auspiciousness prevail'. This sign is associated with the Hindu Goddess of wealth, 'Mahalakshmi'. There is a deep spiritual meaning to this symbol and its name, as described in ancient Vedic texts. Suffice to say, the four legs of this symbol are believed to be an invitation to positivity to approach from all four directions. A 'Swastik' bestows good fortune and prosperity, but should be placed in a clock-wise direction for the best results.
The Hindu 'Swastik' should not be confused with the 'Nazi Swastika', referred to in German as the 'Hakenkreuz', or crooked cross, which was a misguided attempted to hijack this divine symbol. This is placed at an angle and does not produce any positive energy.
Surpisingly, as this short YouTube video explains, the 'Swastik' finds a place in many cultures, both modern and ancient and is also considered to be a sacred symbol in religions other than Hinduism. You can find FREE Swastik Lockets on PowerFortunes.com!
A rudraksh bracelet
Very much in vogue nowadays, these are fashion accessories that serve a useful purpose. Lucky charm bracelets are very similar to lucky charm lockets, but offer greater physical contact. This can be of advantage if the material of the bracelet has therapeutic benefits, such as the rudraksh bracelet show in the figure, which also helps to regulate blood pressure.
A lucky charm on a keychain.
Most of us probably spend more time travelling in our cars than we spend in our homes. Now there probably isn't a good luck charm that can help you cruise through traffic jams or turn all the traffic lights green as you approach, but there are charms that can bring you protection from accidents and mishaps. The 'Maruti Yantra' is a one such amulet, this represents lord 'Hanuman', the monkey God and son of 'Pavan', the deity who rules the atmosphere. According to Hindu mythology, 'Hanuman' possesses great physical strength, enough to move mountains. In the 'Mahabharat', a legend about an epic battle between good and evil, 'Hanuman' adorned a flag placed on the chariot of the heroic, 'Arjun'. As a result, Arjun's chariot remained unscathed at the end of the battle. We can today benefit from Hanuman's protective power by carrying a keyring to which a 'Maruti' amulet is attached.
A lucky charm for your house.
Any appropriate good luck charm can be placed in your house and this will bring about a positive influence, but there are certain fixed amulets, such as the 'Vastu Dosh Nivaran' amulet that specifically aim to increase the ambient positive energy levels, of a given location. Essentially, positive and negative energies enter a space from eight different directions and through different forms of conventional energy, you can find out more about this on our page about 'Vastu Shastra'. Ideally, we would want our living and work spaces to allow unrestricted access to positive influences and block the negative ones. However in practice, this is not always possible, or even feasible. Hence, installing amulets such as the 'Vastu Dosh Nivaran' or 'Sukh Samriddhi' will overcome unwanted influences and restore the balance of energy in favour of the favourable influences. In fact, amulets of this nature are often presented as house warming gifts.
A fixed talisman made in the form of a butterfly
Many people have found, through personal experience that butterflies are omens of good luck. It is thought that the gentle fluttering of a butterfly is a manifestation of evasive good fortune. A butterfly is a symbol of freedom and perfection in nature. Just as a butterfly is not born, but is metamorphosised into a perfectly symmetrical creature, one's ill fate can be transformed into good fortune. Butterflies have been associated with wandering, free souls in many different cultures. The ancient Greek word for butterfly is, Psyche which means soul, while some ancient Naga tribes of North East India believe that they are descendants of butterflies.
A Zodiac Pendant
Certain numbers such as your date of birth and compound talent number have a particular significance in your life. Maintaining numerological harmony is very important for improving your luck. Therefore, commencing important tasks or new beginnings on numerologically appropriate dates and avoiding adverse dates, is essential for successful results in all spheres of life. See the link above for our lucky numbers tool. Similarly, wearing the pendant of a favourable number or a number that represents your zodiac sign, will allow your lucky numbers to work for you.
A silver locket Kavach
The 'Tabeez', sometimes written as 'Taweez' and also referred to as 'Kavach', is commonly used by Vedic astrologers, to remedy specific problems. In Sanskrit, 'Kavach' means shield, as these amulets are often used for protection against evil, but they can be made for any purpose. Such amulets are created by astrologers on astrologically auspicious dates, by inscribing a Vedic talisman on a thin sheet of bark, known as 'Bhojpatra'. The inscribed talisman could be a numerical grid, a geometric Vedic amulet design or a combination of both. A collection of such grids, representing several different types of amulets are often inscribed inside a single Tabiz. The actual design and combination of talismans used, is only really known to the astrologer who makes the 'Tabeez'. The container may be cylindrical or rectangular in shape and can vary in size, depending on how many sheets of bark are required. These are then placed inside a silver container, usually along with some incense and holy ash or orange coloured holy powder, (Sindoor). The astrologer will recite the appropriate Vedic chants, as the amulet is made. Traditionally, wax would be used to be seal the lid of the silver container, but nowadays durable superglues are also used, whilst taking care that the inner contents are not contaminated. Such amulets are often worn around the neck, in the form of a locket that is attached to a black thread.
The astrologers at PowerFortunes.com can recommend and create such custom Tabeez talismans and enquiries for these can be sent from our Contact Page.

A lucky acorn

A single feather
The feather is an ancient charm for good luck and represents the journey of the soul to the other realm. Peacock feathers are considered to be particularly auspicious and is often used as an astrological remedy.
3 keys for good luck
The number '3' has positive and negative connotations, depending on whether it is used in a positive or negative context. In a positive context this represents the divine trinity that is common to many beliefs. Three keys worn together symbolise the unlocking of the doors to health, wealth and love.
An Egyptian scarab beetle
This symbol of good luck dates back to ancient Egypt. An amulet in the form of a scarab beetle, usually made out of gold, is worn as jewellery and symbolises the renewal of life.

What is a Good Luck Charm?

What are the rules of engagement in this particular instance? What exactly is a good luck charm? Well, based on our exprience, we would define a goood luck charm as,
"Any object or symbol that shows empirical evidence of being able to positively influence a person's fortunes, on a consistent basis would be described as being an object that brings good luck."

You will note that we say "Any object" and don't restrict our definition to religious or spiritual symbols alone. Our only criteria being that it should work consistently and in a positive manner. This rules out any signs or symbols associated with the dark arts, as they will ultimately have a negative impact. Once you know what to expect from such an object, the next question would be, "Do good luck charms actually work?" and if so,

Infographic on different types of lucky charms
How Good Luck Charms can Differ.
The answer is not quite as simple as the question, as one must gain a clearer understanding of the nature of the charm in question and how one wants that charm to work.
  1. Some lucky objects, such as Vedic Talismans are able to bring good luck as a result of a combination of this positive spiritual energy, produced from their physical form, the spiritual energy imparted in them during their consecration and through the faith that is placed in them by those who possess them. The workings and beliefs behind Vedic Talismans have been described in detail on our 'Talisman Secrets' webpage.
  2. Other forms of good luck charms can be of a more symbolical nature, rely on the power of suggestion and can often be steeped in superstitious belief. Research conducted by a British University showed that more than 30% of those who carried good luck charms felt their luck had genuinely improved! Any object could fall into this category, it could be a lucky cap, a lucky handkerchief, your favourite pair of socks, to each his own. Although there is no definitive explanation, this perhaps best explains the manner in which good luck charms work, as the common denominator, which powers both types of charms is, the faith placed in them by their users.

Energy Levels of Lucky Symbols
Energy Levels of Good Luck Charms, Symbols.
Certain objects have the ability to emit positive or negative spiritual energy, depending on their nature. The 'Lecher' and 'Lobe' antennae are simple scientific devices, which can be used to measure subtle amounts of energy emitted from living organisms and inanimate objects. Experiments using these antennae, connected to a 'Biometer', measuring energy in 'Bovine' unit's, were conducted to find the energy generated by certain religious objects and symbols of good fortune.
The findings are shown above.
  • Actions Speak

Once a user recognises the latent positive spiritual energy of a lucky object, they allow that object to realise it's potential to do good. A good luck charm, based on positive energy may not necessarily completely alter your destiny, but this will diminish the negative effects of bad periods and help you to better exploit the benefit of good times.

Of course, in order to take full advantage of a good period, a proactive approach is required, as even in the ancient Hindu scriptures it is said that everything, including fate, is subservient to one's actions. But then again, acquiring an object that will bring you good luck, is also an action!

"Health I bring you,
Happiness too,
Wealth herein,
And all for you."

Once you've acquired your lucky charm, charge it with magical energy, using this 'Spell'. Take the object on any day during the period between the New Moon and Full Moon and hold it in your writing hand and recite, 'Gods and Goddesses, come to me'. Feel the energy build up in you and flow into the object. Visualise it make your wishes come true. Seal it with the spell shown here.
