I always thought these types of talisman's, like a rabbit's foot, were merely spiritual types of things that merely help someone through difficult times.Ī rabbit's foot does appear to have been an historically popular talisman, and may even be the original one that has spurned many others throughout the world.ĭoes anyone know if this is the case and if not which type of talisman was considered the first?Ī rabbit's foot is no different than any other type of talisman that a person considers to be lucky.Īll kinds of people have talismans that they consider to give them good luck, like say a lucky coin, medallion, ring, or even articles of clothing.
It may sound strange, but I would see people, that had a lot of school spirit, taking these coins in with them while they take tests. I went to a college in the Midwest and the college would give everyone a coin that is considered to be a talisman to give the person good luck in their studies in college.
