FAQ - Lucky charms: lucky symbols and talismans
Lucky charms have spanned the ages, cultures, and beliefs. Whether to attract luck, ward off the evil eye, or bring protection and positive energy, these symbols are still very present in our homes, on our jewelry, or as decorative objects. In this FAQ, we help you choose them wisely.
What is a lucky symbol?
A lucky symbol is a sign, shape, or object associated with good fortune. It can come from a religious, cultural, or spiritual tradition. We also often refer to talismans, objects to which protective and beneficial properties are attributed.
To learn more about talismans, read our dedicated article: "Talismans and Amulets."
Lucky mandalas, for example, use sacred geometry to activate a favorable vibration. The four-leaf clover is a Western symbol, while the Blue evil eye is very common in Turkey and Greece.
Why have we been using lucky charms for centuries?
Since Antiquity and the Middle Ages, humans have sought to connect with invisible forces for protection, success, or guidance. Lucky charms, whether religious, cultural, or intuitive, meet a universal need for reassurance, connection, and hope.
Even today, in an unstable world, symbolic objects allow us to reconnect with our deepest aspirations and set a purpose in our daily lives.
What are the most well-known lucky charms?
The most well-known lucky charms around the world include:
• The four-leaf clover (luck, success, rarity)
• The horseshoe (protection and good fortune)
• The maneki neko (the Japanese cat that attracts abundance)
• The evil eye or Nazar Boncuk (to ward off negative energies)
• The hand of Fatima or Hamsa (symbol of protection in Arab and Jewish cultures)
• The rabbit's foot (lucky in Celtic traditions)
• The coin (financial luck and abundance)
• Ganesh (Hindu deity with an elephant's head, symbol of luck and wisdom)
• Lucky plants, such as bamboo or crassula
These objects are rooted in ancient traditions, sometimes dating back to the Middle Ages or ancient times.
What lucky charms do you offer?
At Mandalashop, we offer a selection of symbols known for their ability to attract luck and promote good fortune:
• The four-leaf clover, an iconic Western symbol of luck and success

• The blue eye of Nazar, a powerful Mediterranean lucky charm to ward off the evil eye
These symbols can be worn as jewelry, incorporated into home decor, or given as meaningful gifts.
What is the most effective lucky charm?
There is no universal "best" lucky charm. The effectiveness of a talisman depends on faith, intention, and the personal symbolism attributed to it. A four-leaf clover may work for one person, while a Hamsa hand may be more meaningful to another.
The key is to choose a symbol that resonates with you. Certain objects are considered powerful lucky charms due to their reputation and repeated use over centuries. The Eye of Nazar, for example, is considered one of the most powerful against the evil eye.

Some ideas:
• A piece of jewelry (Nazar pendant, Hamsa hand)
• A lucky mandala wall decoration
• A lucky plant (like a crassula)
• A small Ganesh or Maneki Neko statuette

Choose a symbol that corresponds to the person's situation or needs. Emotion and intention are as important as the object itself.
How to use a lucky charm in Feng Shui?
In the art of Feng Shui, each lucky charm has a specific place based on the energy it conveys. For example:
• Ganesh can be placed in the prosperity or wisdom area.
• The Hamsa hand is placed near the entrance to ward off negative influences.
• The blue evil eye can be hung in a hallway or passageway to block the evil eye.
• A lucky mandala hung in a living space promotes harmony and good fortune.
The important thing is to set your intention when placing the object so that it fully activates the flow of Chi.
