How do you avoid bad luck and ill health?
How is it that some people always seem to be ‘lucky’?
How is that some people always seem to avoid bad luck?
More often than not it is because they BELIEVE that they are lucky or that they are going, for example, to have a ‘good day’
Any sports psychologist will tell you that, at the top levels of any game, it is the mental edge . . the BELIEF in winning, that makes the difference between a champion and an ‘also-ran’.
Our good luck gifts are based on ancient faiths, talismans, and symbols that have helped people for many years. People have put their faith in these beliefs for centuries. Our gifts help people to have this belief.
As Henry Ford said: “If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can’t . . you’re right!”
One of the reasons we are so confident is that it has been proved that belief in a lucky charm and in the concept of good luck really does help people avoid bad luck: For example:
– This University of Cologne report published in the American Journal of Psychological Science.
– Or these University findings in 2004, when researchers from the Universities of Edinburgh, in Scotland, and Hertfordshire, in England (including the well-renowned psychologist, Professor Richard Wiseman) conducted experiments relating to good fortune. They concluded that lucky charms mattered .
And now, with the latest study by the University of Cologne (see this Dail Mail article), this has been shown to be true. It is BELIEF (in good luck charm – or a symbol of faith like a Christian fish or cross) that makes people have more luck – and avoid misfortune.
A while back, Professor Wiseman (University of Hertfordshire in the UK, and author of the research article “Why lucky charms matter”) said that those who think they are UNLCKY should change their outlook and discover how to generate good fortune for themselves. (See this report on the BBC ). After all, fear of bad luck is the basis of many superstitions which are so powerfully accepted around the world. “Touching wood” or “Crossing your fingers” to avoid bad luck are almost universal. Avoiding the number 13 is SO important to SO MANY people that it is often absent from the seat number on a plane – or even the whole floor of a hotel.
Our lucky charms (like Spain’s Indalo symbol for example, a Hamsa charm, or Christian symbols like the Scallop Shell of St James or the Latin Cross) are well-known and recognised as powerful amulets to avoid bad luck . . which is why so many people have used them for so long . . they believe they will work.
Many people put their faith (or belief) in God (or a God) – and religions around the world use their own symbols to help ward off evil spirits and bad luck, and to help attract better fortune. Naturally, we also stock some products with symbols (such as the Christian cross) that are based on religious beliefs – for the millions of people around the world that put their faith in God.

. . a style of Spanish ceramics which symbolises wisdom and safekeeping
This impressive piece is a stunning example of Spanish ceramic art. It is made in the northeast of Spain, famous for its Mediterranean seafronts along the Costa Brava and Costa Dorada, and of course for its culture and art. (Cataluña, or Catalonia was the birthplace of painter Salvador Dalí and Antoni Gaudi).
In many cultures, the Owl is a symbol of wisdom, foresight and knowledge: And historically, it has been seen as a guardian - believed to offer protection and safekeeping.
This ceramic piece is intricately finished in the Catalan modernism style . . a form of architectural art seen typically around Barcelona's Parc Guell. Each piece is hand-painted in dazzling colours to produce a beautiful and uniquely-crafted figurine that would make a delightful present . . and a unique gift from Spain.

:)- Rapid shippingDescription: This Mediterranean golden Owl figurine measures approx 9.75cms (3.8ins) high by 5.6cms (2.2ins) wide by 5.5cms (2.2ins) deep. It would look perfect displayed either in the home or office. The hand-painted, porcelain-like finish is simply stunning in its detail and is an intricate piece of Spanish ceramic art. Because each one is individually painted, each figurine is distinct and so no single one is exactly the same as another (so figures may differ slightly from the photos here).
Read about OWL symbolism here
If an owl visits you, it is considered an incredible gift - being symbolic of wisdom, truth, patience and knowledge. But the owl is also seen to be a protector - against harm, and ill-fortune. So this Owl figurine, something special from Spain, would make a perfect gift for a friend or loved-one about to embark on something difficult, especially something requiring extra brain-power like taking an Exam or Test. Conversely, it would make a stunning housewarming / new home present, a retirement gift, or a good luck gift in general. Because it is partly golden, it is also ideal for a Golden Wedding Anniversary present. It is of course also suitable for people that love Owls! It is bound to be appreciated and to attract admiring comments. Please Note: To preserve its fine features, it is best to keep this figurine indoors, or at least under-cover if outside.
