Gambling Mojo

I made this LUCKY Gambling Mojo Charm Bracelet for my trip to Vegas next month!

The whole time I was collecting every lucky symbol I could and hung them from my wrist, I was thinking, not just thinking, but visualizing - myself hitting the "BIG ONE" on one of my machines.

I love the slots! They are like video games with the excitement of winning. I have a 5 pull rule and if I stick to it I make out great. The decision is how much to bet? Playing max bet on the penny machines could really pay out with a sweet bonus, ($140 on a $9 with 3 pulls). But if I find one I really like and I'm amused I will drop the amount of the bet for longer playing time. (Just to see the man eating plant swallow more dudes in search for the bonus round.)

A bracelet like this can be used as a token that you charm with energy using a spell, or just old fashion superstition.The real MAGIC is to BELIEVE!

SYMBOLISM

PIG - Good Luck tokens in the shape of Pigs are believed to have the power to bring Good Luck, as they are a Riches, Good Fortune & Prosperity. Bone Pig charm

HORSE SHOE or HORSE SHOE MAGNET - Horseshoes have associations with the strength and dependability of the horse. The Horseshoe protects one's house and land, to keep strangers away, when hung up on the wall of a home or above a doorway. The "U" shape will hold good luck inside forever. The magnet will draw luck to you! Green Coin is decorated with horse shoes.

KEY -As a symbol of luck, a single key is among the most important, not to mention one of the oldest, of charms. The Greeks and Romans believed it represented the "Key of Life" and had the power to unlock the door through which prayers reached the gods. Key Charm

ALL SEEING EYE - Unlike other sources of good-luck, where good fortune resides in the possession of the object itself, the power of the Evil Eye Amulet resides in its capacity to ward off the misfortune cast by the Evil Eye. Blue "All seeing eye" bead

4-LEAF CLOVER - Four-leaf clovers do exist, they just are not as common as the three-leaf variety. (Flora Brittanica). If you find one, it's considered good luck. Silver clover charm & a Swarovski crystal clover

ELEPHANT - Elephants are good luck in Feng Shui and the Ganeshsa is the Hindu God of Luck.

Elephant figurines placed on shelves or by doorways are said to ensure longevity and luck. Red plastic elephant bead

# 7 - The number Seven is considered lucky by many different cultures and religions. Glass encased 7 Charm

Frog - The Frog has been a symbol of prosperity, wealth, friendship and abundance in many cultures and a symbol of fertility in others. Cloisonne Frog charm

Heart - Charms in the shape of hearts are obviously intended to bring luck in love. Small plastic heart bead

Cross - Although the cross has come to be a symbol of Christianity, it was both a religious and lucky sign for centuries before the Christian era. In most pagan religions, the cross represents the tree of life. Gothic cross Charm

Star - A  "shooting" star, grants the person lucky enough to see it, a secret wish. Small silver star charms

Skull - whether bone or silver are usually worn to protect one from death. Shamans wear them to symbolize the accessing of deceased spirits. A skull and crossbones is a symbol of Pirate's Treasure. Skull and crossbones gold metal charm and a green skull beads.

I added some Gambling tokens - Dice, Ace of Spades, and a penny attached to a plate inscribed "Lucky" and a few money stone beads of Adventurine and Malachite

(I would really love an Ahnk, a ladybug, a scarab and a bag o'money charms)
