Take a penny, and at home perform the following ritual: put a candle on a coin, light it and, looking at the fire, repeat your most cherished desire. When the candle burns out by two thirds - extinguish the fire and hide it together with the coin in a secluded place. And when the wish comes true, light the candle again and let it burn out completely, and throw away the penny at the intersection.

The people said that only an old nail knows how to keep happiness in the family. Another fortunate rusty find is an ancient key. If you bring him into the house, then he will close the doors in front of any troubles and troubles.
Several happy signs are associated with people. For example, it was considered good luck to meet a chimney sweep. Today this sign is not very relevant, but if you are lucky enough to meet a man of this rare profession - consider that happiness is in your pocket! Touching the belly of a pregnant woman or the hump of a hunchback are also good omens. Moreover, you need to touch the hump so that its owner does not feel anything. If you succeed, you can safely go to the casino - great luck will accompany you!
To accidentally find a clover with four leaves is to catch happiness. This omen came to Russia from Ireland. There, it is believed that the rare quatrefoil is a memory of the lost paradise. If you are lucky enough to find it, the clover should be picked, dried and carried with you at all times. The three-leaf clover is also considered to bring good luck, because it is the symbol of the Trinity.
