Typically, clovers have three leaves. Those three leaves are believed to represent faith, love, and hope. Among these patches of three-leaf clovers, there\u2019s a good chance that if you look hard enough, you\u2019ll find one or two, if not more, four-leaf clovers. The fourth leaf is the one attributed to luck, giving the four-leaf clover the meaning of faith, love, hope, and luck.<\/span><\/p>\n Interestingly, four-leaf clovers, while relatively rare, have some competition when it comes to the number of leaves. Five-leaf clovers have been known to occur, and one lucky person once found a six-leaf clover. These rare objects are very sought after. In fact, there are four-leaf clover collectors. One person amassed a collection worth $170,000 over her lifetime, and another woman holds the record for number of four-leaf clovers collected in one hour; That number is 156. Nobody is quite sure as to how clovers get that extra leaf, though it is believed that genetics play a part.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Religious and Cultural Beliefs<\/b><\/p>\n In Irish culture, the belief in the powers of the shamrock (or four-leaf clover) stems all the way back to the Druid priests who used them in healing rituals, ceremonial worship and to ward off evil. There were also tales of sorceresses who would hunt four-leaf clovers at night and make them into potions.<\/span><\/p>\n Of course, we can\u2019t talk about clovers without mentioning St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, who is credited with removing all the snakes from the Ireland. He was a big believer in the power of the more-commonly found three-leaf clover (maybe because a four-leaf clover was harder to find). However, he used the three leaves as a representation of the Holy Trinity \u2013 the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. That is the reason that the clover is a symbol of St. Patrick\u2019s Day. Were he able to find a four-leaf clover, I think it\u2019s fair to assume that he\u2019d consider it a lucky find, as well.<\/span><\/p>\n And where would any origin story be without a connection to Adam and Eve? It\u2019s said that while getting booted from the Garden of Eden, Eve grabbed a four-leaf clover as a remembrance of the time they got to live in paradise.<\/span><\/p>\n Lenormand Cards<\/b><\/p>\n In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in the Lenormand cards, a divination tool that emerged in the 1800s.

Not all Lenormand card sets depict the clover as having four leaves, though many do. This card indicates a period of short term luck and good fortune. The person being read for will have a certain amount of time in which they will need to act. If they don\u2019t, they may miss a window of opportunity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Lenormand cards are often read in pairs. The card that comes after the clover may indicate the type of luck or opportunity that is coming up. In some cases, however, the card may also show whether the luck is waning or will be blocked. If the clover comes after another card, it may point to the nature of the thing represented.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For example, the fish card in Lenormand indicates finances. If the clover comes after the fish, this could indicate luck in financial affairs, along with short term opportunity that should be investigated and taken advantage of.<\/span><\/p>\n Your Personal Meaning<\/b><\/p>\n The meaning of a four-leaf clover sighting is a personal choice, most likely based on your belief system.

Your Personal Meaning The meaning of a four-leaf clover sighting is a personal choice, most likely based on your belief system. What rings true for you? Does it represent general good luck? Is it a reminder that the Holy Spirit surrounds you? Does it mean that you now have a direct-connection to the fairy realm? Is it a sign that you\u2019ll marry one year from the date you find your clover? Should it be worn inside clothing to ward off bad luck?
