Once upon a time, I taught at William Paterson University in New Jersey, USA with an unconventional professor named Joe Van Putten. He showed me a secret field near our offices where many four-leaf clovers tend to grow.
He said, "Most people don't find four-leaf clovers because they expect NOT to find them. But if you expect to find them, you will." During my time at WPU, I found many lucky four-leaf clovers in that field, but also randomly in other places because I took his advice.
Joe passed away recently, but upon my last visit to the USA, I decided to check to see if the clovers were still there in the "secret spot." I found SEVEN four-leaf clovers and one extra lucky five-leaf clover!
After my find, I only wanted to give away as much luck as possible to family /friends in need. When I ran out of actual four-leaf clovers to give, I made this drawing. It also contains one secret five-leaf clover which is said to bring extra luck and financial abundance.
Four-Leaf Clover Symbolism:
- Rare Good Fortune – it is thought that each leaf of a clover represents something. The first three represent faith, hope, and love. If you come across one that has a fourth leaf, it represents luck.
- Protection – anyone who brings with him a four-leaf clover is expected to be spared from accidents or unfortunate events.
- Link to Parallel Universes – the rare leaf is believed to be a portal, an access point that could open up parallel worlds where the supernatural reside.
- Balance – four-leaf clovers have impeccable symmetry that is absent on most leaves, which usually have alternating or random leaf positioning. The bearer of a four-leaf clover is said to achieve balance — the key to a happy life.
