One of the most famous good luck charms is the horseshoe, which, according to legend, can protect a home from evil and bring good luck.

Four leaf clover
Seeing a four-leaf clover is a rare occurrence, so it has become a symbol of good luck. Each leaf of the clover represents faith, hope, love, and luck.
Elephant
In Indian culture, the elephant symbolizes wisdom, strength, and good fortune. Many people wear elephant images or statues as talismans.
Coins
In Chinese culture, coins with a hole in the center are considered good luck charms. They attract wealth and prosperity.
Saint Christopher
In the Christian tradition, Saint Christopher is considered the patron saint of travelers and protector from misfortune. His images serve as talismans for safe travel.
Rabbit's foot
The Celts are believed to have been the first to associate the rabbit with good luck: they believed that since the animal lived underground, it could contact the underworld, gods and spirits.
