If you think about it, every holiday has some kind of jewelry affiliated with it. But St. Patrick’s Day has a closer connection than most. Why? Because jewelry associated with luck (aka “good luck charms”) represents one of the key themes of St. Patrick’s Day: luck.

And luck is big with the Irish They have a long list of charms, superstitions and omens to make you lucky or keep bad luck at bay.

Here are a few fun St. Patty’s Day superstitions to keep in mind, the next time you plan on bringing a banana onboard a boat! Here’s a few we found at TheGoodStuff.com. 

We all know it’s bad luck when a black cat crosses your path. But fortunately, the Irish have found a way to ward it off. Make a triangle with your thumbs and pointer fingers and spit (in the general direction) of the cat. FYI we don’t condone spitting at cats.

If a hen and her chicks want to enter your house, by all means let them in! They bring good luck. If it’s a rooster, set the table, company is on its way.

Never gift a knife, it will sever your friendship. In fact, don’t even hand someone a knife (not even to cut your corned beef), it will bring bad luck. Instead if someone asks for a knife, place it on the table near them and let them pick it up.

Feeling sick from all that corned beef and cabbage? Well the Irish say tie a bunch of mint sprigs around your wrist to cure an upset stomach.

If you come across a horseshoe, nail it to the door. And don’t even think about buying one or using a gifted horseshoe, it must be found spontaneously!

Lucky enough to find a four-leaf clover? Congratulations! You’re in for some good luck gambling and racing. Furthermore, witchcraft has no power for you! But keep it to yourself. The luck only lasts so long as you don’t show anyone your clover.

Never ask a man where he is going fishing. Just don’t. Never change a boat’s name and don’t bring a banana on board (not necessarily an Irish superstition, but very good to know nonetheless). Fishermen are an especially superstitious lot and some may go so far as to turn the boat around and drop you and your contraband fruit off on the dock.

Best of luck to you this St. Patrick’s Day! ! !
