Four leaf clover is one of the most common good luck symbols of the Western world. The four leaves represent hope, faith, love and luck. This is the most shared belief.

Some say the four leaves represent fame, wealth, love and health. All agree that the four leaf clover is one of the most auspicious good luck symbols around. Chances of discovering a four leaf clover are 1:10 000. For that reason alone we see it is lucky indeed. A Christian legend tells the story that Eve brought a four leaf clover with her when she was expelled from Paradise. Anyone lucky enough to be in possession of four leaf clovers has consequently a piece of the blessed Paradise. Four is considered a masculine number. Four is also the number of the cross.

A common belief during the Middle Ages was that a person who carried the rare four leaf clover would have the ability to see fairies. The bearer could also recognize witches and potential evil spirits lurking about. The clover in this conviction does not seem to serve those faint of heart, but certainly served as a precaution against all threats they believed to be very real.
