The Hamsa is an important symbol in the history and culture of the Jewish and Muslim religions.

4) Acorns, fruits to put in the house

Whether you keep your acorns in a bowl as a decoration or place some on the windowsill to bring good luck to your home (as is the Nordic tradition), it's up to you.

Few people know it but, yes, acorns are real lucky objects that will attract luck in almost all situations in life.

Even though certain rituals can increase their effects, they remain powerful enough to work no matter where or how you place them in your home.

Apparently, the powers of acorns come from the tree on which they grow: the oak.

Similar to so many kings enthroned for centuries in the middle of our forests, oaks are massive, powerful and command respect.

When we pick up an acorn, it is a small part of their magic that we can take home, making our home benefit from its powers.

6) Hang a horseshoe for better luck

Many cultures consider the horseshoe to be a powerful good luck charm.

It is customary to place one above the doors of our homes.

Some people believe that having it pointing upwards assures us that good luck will never leave our house. Others will prefer to point it downwards, thinking that this will “color luck and happiness” on all those who pass beneath it.

In the end, this is of little importance and will not fundamentally change how the iron works.

When asking the question “what to put in the house that brings good luck”, many people opt for this type of horseshoe.

We can't really blame them, it's true that this is a very powerful object.

7) The dream catcher and the serene nights

Many of us already know this, but it is always good to remember: dream catchers are effective tools that can really improve the quality of our sleep.

When we don't have nightmares, we rest better. This is not surprising.

On the other hand, we sometimes have to forget all the benefits that it brings us.

A more positive mood, but less tension, a feeling of peace and energy, a calmer mind, less mental fog... These few benefits represent only a tiny part of those offered by a good night's sleep.

With this kind of allies at our side, we will necessarily have better luck or at least be able to better seize the opportunities that destiny will send us.

Generally, fish are known to bring happiness, more zen, and relative peace to wherever they are.

As we have already said, red is a color intrinsically linked to luck.

Thus, this animal benefits from both the powers of fish and those of color…

  • Irish moss under the doormat attracts money.
  • Aloe Vera is a lucky plant that is sure to attract good luck.
  • Bamboos know how to capture negative energies in a room.

13) And those not to wear!

It is good to have beautiful living plants in your home. This helps circulate energy and can sometimes even generate it.

But you have to be careful: if you are often absent (or simply careless) and you don't take care of it, the opposite effect could well occur.

A dead or withered plant is a dark symbol that will install bad energy in your living space.
