Shamrock Trinity
As a charm the shamrock was linked with the lunar goddes, each leaf representing one of her aspects of Maiden, Mother and Crone. In Irish legend it also represented the "triple key," a magickal union between the god and goddess that creates abundance, fertility and prosperity on the earth. Using any of these Irish charms will help you to tap into the legendary "luck of the Irish," famous all over the world.
The shamrock is a fertility charm that encourages excellent health, riches and good luck. Worn as jewelry, painted onto touchstones, or carried as a medal, the shamrock can be charged by holding it up to the Moon and turning it around clockwise three full rotations.
Many Irish charms create and energetic link between the wearer and the country by attracting vibrations that have their roots in Irish stories and beliefs. If you do not know much about the country it would be a good idea to read about the culture and mythological roots of Ireland before trying to harness its magick.
Irish Blessing
Spirits of Eire, spirits of green, lend me your luck and let it be seen.
Irish charms come in a variety of styles from tokens blessed by leprechauns and fairies to the more earthly Celtic Crosses, harps, touchstones, and snakes.
Sidhe Charmes
In Ireland Sidhe charms (prounounced "she") are still respected for their powerful magick. Use these to attract their blessings.
Leprechaun
The leprechaun charm is most often made of gold and worn as a pendant or on a charm bracelet. Charge the charm at midday by passing it through a gold candle flame and then some soil. Don't take your eyes off the charm while you charge it or its magick will be gone.
Arrowheads
Silver or flint arrowheads are believed to be blessed by the fairies and can be worn, or hidden in the home to repel misfortune. While these items can easily be bought just about anywhere, if you get the chance you might want to look for one on your own, there are plenty of places where they can be found just do a little research to find the best places. This way your good luck token will be even more infused with the luck of the land.
Celtic Cross
An equal-armed cross surrounded by a circle represents the four elements with spirit at the center. Often painted or carved onto the side of buildings as a protective amulet, it can also be worn as a pendant or a brooch.
Harp
The harp is a symbol of the bard, a magickal Celtic storyteller in Druidic Ireland. As a charm it encourages fluent, articulate speech and the power of persuasion, also known as the "gift of gab".
Sheela-Na-Gig
The secually explicit sheela-na-gig is found in many Irish churches. Hung above a door it promotes a peaceful, safe environment or can be worn by women to boost creativity, secuality and empowerment.
Worry Stone
Throughout the southwest of Ireland smooth round pebbles are used as worry stones. These charms keep your worst fears from becoming reality. Keep one in your pocket and rub it with the pad of your thumb whenever you fee anxious. You can use any type of smooth, small stone that you find, be it from the shores of the sea or along a trail in the woods.
Snake
According to legend St. Patrick banished all adders from Ireland and now there are no snakes left on the entire island. In fact Druids were known as adders in Celtic Ireland, and now Irish Druids use snakes as charms. The snake charm represents earth energy and healing.
Shillelagh
Burglers and theives were once kept away by a weapon known as a shillelagh. Resembling a large pipe-shaped club, the shillelagh is often decorated with ribbons and shamrocks. Kept Behind the front door, it wards off criminals and bad luck. Today's version of the shillelagh might be the baseball bat or hockey stick kept somewhere close to ward off intruders.
