Do You Have The Luck of the Irish? I By Ree Thompson, Castle Rock resident
t is often said that Ireland is home to more four-leaf clovers than any other place, giving meaning to the phrase “the luck of the Irish.” If you are lucky enough to nd a four-leaf clover, look for more! If a clover plant produces a four-leaf clover, it is more likely to produce another four-leaf lucky charm than plants that only produce three-leaf clovers. The chances of nding a four-leaf clover is about 1 in 10,000. The legend says the four leaves represent faith, hope love and success.
Four-leaf clovers were Celtic charms, presumed to o er magical protection and ward o bad luck. Children in the Middle Ages believed if they carried a four-leaf clover, they would be able to see fairies. The Druids (Celtic priests), in the early days of Ireland, believed that when they carried a three-leaf clover or shamrock, they could see evil spirits coming and have a chance to escape in time.
As a child, I believed the old legends and would sit for hours in the “clovered” grass intently looking for one ~ I was just sure it would bring me good luck. Truth is, I never found one!
