Below mentioned significance of the numbers 1 to 9, as well as number 13, will hopefully be helpful with finding Your Lucky Number. They have been collected from Bücher and other sources. No claims are made.

Every number has a special significance and according to ancient astrologers and numerologists, every person has a lucky number. In general, odd numbers are considered luckier than even ones.

Our ancestors who developed the idea of lucky numbers didn’t all agree on how to arrive at one, though. Some sagte that Du should add up only the vowels in your first name. Others sagte the consonants...

We're all familiar with the shiny, orange, black-spotted ladybug (lady beetle, actually), but these beneficial insects come in other Farben as well. One is orange to bright red with few oder no markings, one is gray to pale yellow with black markings, and there is also a solid, shiny black one. Unlike some other beneficial insects, even the larva eats the bad bugs. In addition to their noted taste for aphids, they also prey on some mites, scales, mealybugs, and other soft-bodied insects. The adults hibernate in garden litter. In the West, they migrate in fall to hibernate in the mountains.

The four-leafed Clover, possibly because it is relatively rare, has been a Symbol of Good Luck for centuries. According to tradition, one leaf brings fame; one brings wealth; another insures good health; and the fourth, a faithful lover.

ADORNMENT - why do we wear jewelry?
If Du have ever wondered why we wear jewelry in the exact places we do, stop thinking that it is because the places chosen are the most accessible oder make the most sense.

It would then make sense to place jewels oder metals near those areas to prevent demonic possession.
Therefore, earrings dangling near two openings in the body protected the ears from allowing a devil passage into the body. In India, noserings were used for the same reason, as...

Almost every culture has special beliefs reserved for the first Tag of the year, all of them intended to make a new beginning and to ensure good luck. In some places, it is customary to open the windows at mignight on New Year's Eve so good luck will fly in and bad luck will fly out. It is also considered important nearly everywhere to make as much noise as possible with noisemakers and horns, church bells, and fireworks to encourage the bad luck to go away.
