Lucky Rabbit’s Foot
It is widely believed that a Rabbit’s Foot possesses power to bring good luck to its holder. This is believed to have stemmed from the pre-Celtic tradition of hunter clans rite of passage for their adolescent members. These young males were first introduced to hunting rabbits, as an introduction to his apprenticeship as a hunter. If they were successful, one of the hind feet of the rabbit was presented to them in a ceremony which would welcome them to manhood within the clan.
In the U.S., it is a terribly dyed piece of fuzzy material that you get out of a 25 cent machine.
