Good Luck Collection

Are you feeling lucky? Unlucky? Medieval good luck talismans included amulets intended to bring good luck as well as those supposed to dispel or turn away evil. We have an excellent selection of both sorts, and we have brought together some favorites in the Good Luck Collection. It includes:

*The Lucky Dog brooch, complete with inscription: “BIEN AI A QUI ME PORT” – roughly “Good (luck) to the one who wears me.”
*Mr. Yuck  Charm Holder, with his tongue sticking out to turn away evil.
*The beautiful openwork Purse with Coin Pendant, which promised prosperity.
*The Amulet Against Drunkenness, with (glass) amethysts, reported in the lapidaries to protect the wearer from intoxication.
* A lucky Horseshoe Pendant. The horseshoe comes in three levels of fanciness and many colors – so please look at the page and let us know what kind you want in your collection. (If you do not state, we will send one with the smaller stone setting in a random color.)

Total price of pieces in the Good Luck Collection $32. Collection price $29

Feeling naughty? Willy and Charlie have some lucky pieces also! Folklorists and archeologists often suggest that many of the naughty pewter artifacts have a protective function (which they call “apotropaic” to be fancy). We think this is more likely to be true of some pieces than of others – and we have picked two brooches and a pendant to add to the more mainstream lucky collection:
*The Dickie Bird brooch, representing one of the two body parts that most often appear in protective images and  amulets
*Sheila, a stunning example of the other
*The Full Purse Pendant, which besides offering a hidden surprise, promises a different sort of prosperity than the regular purses pendants

Total price of pieces in the Good Luck Collection with Naughty Additions $48. Collection price $44

Add the beautiful and unusual Cowrie Shell Pendant, protection against the evil eye and a charm for prosperity and fecundity, to either the Good Luck Collection or the Collection with Naughty Additions.

We have many other good luck and protective amulets, depending on your preferences. For more options:
The Seal of Solomon Brooch –  a powerful medieval magical and protective symbol.
Our elegant and menacing devil brooches, most of them with their tongues protruding like Mr. Yuck.
The Florin Brooch or the smaller Purse Pendant, both probably charms for prosperity.
The Flying Pig Brooch. Perfect to wear when you are hoping for something unlikely – or when you have achieved it!

Best of luck always!
