You don’t need to put horseshoes and rabbit feet in your home to attract happiness, there are some confirmed Feng Shui items that according to various traditions in Europe, Asia, and Africa can make you happier, wealthier, and healthier. The following 7 Feng Shui items have been discovered to be the luckiest objects you can place in your home right now!

Pine Cones of Italy

This unusual item comes first on the list, and the specific object that represents the pine cone is called “Pumo Pogliese” in Italian. It is mostly found in the Puglia region of the country and symbolizes rebirth. Don’t be surprised to see this item on terraces, roofs, and balconies of different houses. They can also be placed at the foot of the bed of newlywed couples to attract fertility and good fortune. Many designers today have come to re-interpret the pine cones including their use as a storage container.

Scarabs of Egypt

Scarabs have been considered sacred since the ancient Egypt era, they include the amulets worn by Pharaohs while other scarab-shaped objects were used to decorate homes for more than a thousand years. In Egyptian mythology, Scarab is a symbol of “Khepri”, the god of the morning sun. You can also find some ancient carved scarabs that include inscriptions to invoke good fortunes for their users.

Shamrocks of Ireland

Shamrocks are emblematic symbols that are quite popular in Ireland. According to Irish history, Shamrock plants were used by St. Patrick to illustrate the principles of Christianity while evangelizing in the fifth century. The plant represented the holy trinity with its three leaves. His illustration eventually led to the recognition of March 17th as St. Patrick’s Day. Today, Shamrock can be found sewn into clothing or painted on the faces of its users. The plant remains the emblem of the country’s national rugby team. This is one object you should have if you intend to introduce some Irish luck into your home.

Ganesh of India

Ganesh has remained one of the most popular deities in India for centuries and it typically appears in the form of an elephant. Ganesh is believed to be the god of intelligence and wisdom and he is widely known for removing obstacles. Images of the Ganesh are seen as a powerful good luck charm. The god is often invoked at the start of the regular Hindu ceremonies and he is a god that has been embraced and worshipped far beyond the shores of India.

Maneki-Neko Cats of Japan

You have probably seen a statue of a cat with one pay in a Japanese movie or restaurant but you have no clue of its history. The Maneki-Neko cat’s history dates back to the Chinese Tang dynasty from 618 to 907AD. The symbol was originally made from porcelain but today it comes in different forms and is made from diverse materials. When this cat raises its paw into the sky, it attracts good fortune and many believe that the higher the paw reaches, the more luck the cat will arise. It is also important to know that the color of the cat will also indicate the type of good fortune it attracts; if the cat comes with a red color for instance, it will attract good health, black will ward off evil spirits and gold will attract abundance of wealth.

Acorns of Scandinavia

The acorn has remained a long symbol of fertility and abundance in the ancient pagan systems of the Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland. It is often placed in a dish in a home to ward off evil spirits. Acorns were usually used by witches and it was believed that the mythical god- Thor, used the item to protect himself from lightning.

Orchids of China

Several flowering plants are popular for attracting good luck to homes, these include the orchids, lilies and camellias. Orchids are particularly beautiful and graceful, and they are known to drive prosperity and fertility to those who own and protect them within their homes. According to some Chinese beliefs, Orchids promote the movement of positive energies around the home and for air purification.

For a better result, Feng Shui experts recommend having one or two of the items highlighted above.
