Do you have a 'lucky charm'...
 

..and are you superstitious/believe in 'omens' at all..?...

..if you have taken exams recently, did you have a 'good luck charm' that you took into your exam..?...


..I'm not superstitious as such about most things but I do have a small gold pin of an angel that I carry everywhere..I always think of it as my guardian angel because someone gave it to me at a time when I think I needed one...anyway, I couldn't find it at the weekend and really, really panicked that it was an 'omen'...but I have found it tucked in a corner of my bag..so hence why I thought of the thread... does anyone else have one..?...

Nope, the closest I have would be a hat I wear for writing, but I haven't used that much since BB has started. However I don't believe it has any powers.

I guess I'm not superstitious at all.

..that's because you are most people's lucky charm GG...

Aww :kiss:

A few ago I had some lucky knickers, everytime I wore them if my whippet was racing he wud win. They only ever worked for him though none of my other whippets.

I find that the old adage 'the harder I work the luckier I get' seems to work for me. I have no lucky charms.

I don't so much as have a lucky charm but I have an Israeli cross around my neck that I have worn everyday for the last 6 years and use it as a kind of safety reassurance when travelling etc. It always worries me when the necklace falls off, it's a bit loose now and I do look at that as a bad sign.

..that's exactly the sort of thing I meant though..I guess Lucky Charm was the wrong way to put it but I just couldn't think what to call it...but just something you always have with you as a comfort/reassurance thing and it would make you feel uneasy if you didn't have it...

I don't have a lucky charm but I have a key ring on my keys that has a lovely story behind it which reminds me to always be kind and helpful to strangers because I know how it feels to be helpless and lost in a foreign country and how horrible it feels not knowing what to do. The key ring says "Cordillera de los Andes" and "Chile" on it and has a sketch of the Andes on it - I was boarding a train going from Dusseldorf airport to Essen train station and this Chilean man and his wife didn't speak much English or German and were looking bewildered at a map so through the power of gesturing and laughter I managed to establish they were also going to Essen but didn't know how to get there so I sat with them and spoke a mixture of broken Spanish, English and German and found out they were going to a conference at a hotel near where I had first lived when I arrived, so we got off at the right stop and I took them over to a taxi and got them a city map from the kiosk and the guy was so grateful he gave me his key ring and told me to have a prosperous and happy life, and it was probably the best thing that ever happened to me the whole time I lived there, it makes me smile every time I look at the key ring.

So yeah, it's not so much a lucky charm but just a nice memento of a really good memory that always inspires me to be a better person :)

im not superstisious or anything but I always look at the same photo of my cat befre I go to sleep! ever since he died in 2008, it might sound silly but I have always done it apart from when im away

My boyfriend gave me a keyring about a year and a half ago, it's a little wolf wearing a sheep hoodie, it's so adorable and his name is Pedders, I take it everywhere with me, about a year ago when my social anxiety was most crippling it really helped to take Pedders with me and I would squeeze him when I felt anxious, I know it sounds weird, but yeah. :P I never go anywhere without it.

I carry around a $2 bill that a guy gave me. I never spend it and it's all crumpled up now, but it's reassuring to have around.
Sort of a weird charm, but it's got sentimental value :p

,,no, it doesn't sound weird at all Jess..it sounds completely understandable and adorable..I think it's not so much a superstition thing because I'm not superstitious at all..it is more of a comfort blanket thing and whatever the reason, it's just something that makes you feel better/more comfortable whenever you feel you need it...aww and your boyfriend sounds as though he helps to give you more confidence, he sounds lovely Jess..:love:...

I brought a lucky Doormouse made from clay or something from the candle factory when i was about 8 or 9 and i still have it in my room now it came with a card saying

" Lucky Mice - Dormice are rarely seen as they are Nocturnal, if found they were often taken home by country folk to spend the winter safe in a cosy cottage " :pipe:

:joker:

Yeah I am not superstitious either, it's just something comforting. Yes, my boyfriend is very lovely, I was practically housebound when I met him two years ago and now I am able to go out and do what I want and even interact with people. :hugesmile:

What a lovely story zee :)
I have a glass gem my son bought me from a charity shop when he was very small :love:

I give my left big toe a kiss.

I did but it broke after my exams which makes me believe it isn't a lucky charm and is a false prophet so now I don't have a lucky charm. :(

...aww, that's sad to hear that you felt like that Jess but lovely to hear that your boyfriend has made you feel so much more confident..it's just a great feeling to know that you're so important to someone and that they believe in you..?..you've always come across as quite confident and just a really lovely person anyway, even if you haven't felt it... :love:....
