Evans/Getty Images Horseshoes are one of the oldest lucky superstitions, with various legends from different cultures attributing lucky powers to them. One legend says that horseshoes are lucky because they are made of iron. Mischievous fairies couldn't stand the touch of iron, so they shied away from houses that had horseshoes on them. Another legend attributes lucky horseshoes to Saint Dunstan. According to the legend, the devil commanded Dunstan, who was a blacksmith, to shoe his horse. Instead, Dunstan nailed a horseshoe to the devil's foot. He only agreed to remove it and ease the devil's pain when he received a guarantee that the devil would stay away from any house with a horseshoe on the door. After that, any house with a horseshoe was guaranteed to be lucky. Whatever the legend's background, horseshoes make a fun lucky symbol to hang on the door of your home or computer room. Just make sure that the points face up so that the horseshoe can fill with luck. 03 of 15 Lucky Dice (Fuzzy or Otherwise) Charms Fuzzy dice are a popular lucky charm.

Usually triggered by jealousy, giving someone an evil eye was supposed to cause all manner of suffering from mental illness to physical maladies. For thousands of years, people have been using evil eye talismans, or nazur, to ward off the bad luck caused by these curses. The evil eye lucky charm takes several different forms. Some cultures use a hand with an eye in its center for protection. Others use simple blue or green beads. But some of the most popular and beautiful evil eye talismans come from Turkey. They use glass beads with alternating blue and white circles to bring themselves more luck. To create your own evil eye charm, you can either buy jewelry containing the evil eye pattern or DIY your own nazur by painting rocks or creating an evil eye amulet out of clay. 14 of 15 Acorns as Lucky Symbols Acorns are cute and accessible symbols of luck. Image (c) Alicia Llop / Getty Images Because of its association with the Norse god Odin, the lowly acorn is also considered a symbol of luck. Odin hung himself from an oak tree to gain knowledge, so the acorn has come to symbolize wisdom. The Norse also believed that acorns could bring divine protection and placed them in the windows of their homes to ward off lightning. During the Norse Invasion, Englishmen would carry acorns in their pockets, perhaps hoping that they'd make their conquerers more sympathetic. As the saying, "great oaks from little acorns grow " indicates, acorns also signify fertility, youth, and prosperity. Acorns make fun lucky symbols to keep with you because they are so common in the fall. They are fun to gather and decorate. Spray paint them gold and silver, or simply use acrylic paints to give them a gorgeous color.
