found with the fourth leaf, it represents
God's Grace.

Lucky Rabbit's foot- Rabbits and hares were considered very lucky animals as
they were associated with spring and the return of flowers and other plants.
Spring was also a time of fertility and so rabbits were considered good luck to be
seen running through the fields. To see a rabbit running through your yard meant
that it would be a good year to have children or that your garden would be
especially fertile this year.

The manner in which rabbits run gave birth to the superstition about rabbit's feet.
Apparently their unusual stride makes the back feet touch the ground ahead of
their front feet and so the back feet were considered especially lucky.
Lucky Penny-Lots of superstitions center around money. Almost all forms of
currency have at least one superstition associated with them. The most common
superstition heard today, with respect to the penny, is the rhyming verse: "Find a
penny, pick it up, and all day long you'll have good luck." Wishbones have
become a common tradition at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter dinners. The
general rule is that the wishbone is saved from the turkey or chicken dinner and
dried overnight. The next day, two people snap it while making a wish. Each
person uses their pinky finger to pull on an end. After the bone has broken, the
one with the larger bit is granted their wish. Fu - Blessing, Good Fortune, Good
Luck
Fu is one of the most popular Chinese characters used in Chinese New Year. It
is often posted upside down on the front door of a house or an apartment. The
upside down fu means good luck came since the character for upsite down in
Chinese sounds the same as the character for came. Lu - Prosperity
It used to mean official's salary in feudal China. Fengshui is believed to be the
Chinese way to health, wealth and happiness. If you are interested in Fengshui,
you may check out the book 'The Feng Shui Kit.' Shou - Longevity
Shou also means life, age or birthday. Cai - wealth, money
Chinese often say money can make a ghost turn a millstone. It is to say money
really can do a lot of things. Ji - lucky, auspicious, propitious

The symbols embodied in David's jewels reveal the truth about our identity and the true
nature of reality. Behind these sacred symbols is the knowledge that enables us to take
complete control over our lives. So that we can rid ourselves of chaos, fear and hatred
which affect so many of us.

The Golden Spiral or Fibonacci Spiral


The golden ratio was often used in the design of Greek and Roman
architecture.
Sacred geometry is geometry that is sacred to the observer or discoverer. This
meaning is sometimes described as being the language of the God of the religion
of the people who discovered or used it. Sacred geometry can be described as
attributing a religious or cultural value to the graphical representation of the
mathematical relationships and the design of the man-made objects that
symbolize or represent these mathematical relationships.

Making your first fibonacci spiral: First get some graph paper, with a pencil draw 2 parallel lines
13 sqaures long. One on top of the other, look at the picture below, the 2 lines are the top and
bottom of the rectangle. Next join the two lines' ends to make a rectangle. Ok, next you draw a
line at the eighth square to make a square 8 boxes long and eight boxes high. The box you just
made is box 8 below. Next in the upper right hand corner draw another square 5 boxes long by 5
boxes high, that will be square number 5 in the picture below. Then you draw another square 3
boxes by 3 boxes where the number 3 box is below. Next you draw a square 2 boxes by 2 boxes
like the one below. Next 2 by 2, and next 1 by 1.

Then you draw your spiral which will look something like this.

ymbols of Magick and Astrology

Ancient Symbols of Magic, Astrology, the Horoscope, Zodiac, and Alchemy are based on
a common symbolic 'alphabet,' composites created from smaller symbols. Knowing how
to recognize these smaller units will allow you to decipher many of the larger symbols
whenever you encounter them. Knowing the secret system behind these symbols can
provide an incredible amount of insight into even the most inscrutable signs.

The following magic symbols are the ones most widely used during the European revival
of the "Old Religion," witchcraft or Wicca, in the spells of that era. There have been
numerous additions to and subtractions from the list over the years, but for the sake of
authenticity, the following symbols are a fair representation.

The Sigil, Sigils, Siglia, or Sigla

Magic symbols are often referred to as sigils. The word sigil stems from the Latin sigilum
meaning seal. Sigils or Siglia or sigla are symbols that have been created for a specific
magickal purpose and are used to form a glyph, composed of a variety of symbols or
concepts which carry intent and inherent iconic meaning. Through iconography,
emblems, symbols, and the symbolism of tattoos, the ankh, glyphs, and the Sigilia
common in Jewish mysticism and Kabbalistic magic have been, for the most part,
successfully decoded.

The Goat of Mendes

First associated erroneously with Satanism in the 1960's, the Goat of Mendes, Mendes
Pentacle, or Sabbatic Goat symbol was inaccurately attributed to the 19th century
occultist, Elipas Levi. The Goat of Mendes symbol is often confused with Levi's
depiction of the Templar icon Baphomet, which was never presented as a symbol of evil,
but of harmony, redemption, and union with the divine. Nevertheless, the two are
confused so often it is almost impossible to separate them. The name Goat of Mendes
comes from a connection Levi made between the Templar Baphomet, the Goat of the
witch's Sabbat (as depicted in popular art), and the Egyptian god Ammon of Mendes,
Egypt, which Levi believed had been an emblem of fertility and sexual freedom. Later, it
was determined that Levi's connection was wrong — Ammon was represented by a ram,
not a goat — but the confusion remains to this day.

In 1966, a simplified version of the Goat of Mendes symbol was adopted as the icon of
Anton Lavey's Church of Satan and the emblem is now often referred to a the Judas Goat
by modern Satanists.
