Existence of Belief:

Since the inception of the civilization, man has believed in good luck symbols usually called as ‘Lucky Charms ‘ . From gemstones to bracelets, almost anything can be and has been considered as a Charm. Almost every world culture is marked by the presence of Lucky Charms. It is believed that wearing a charm brings good luck to the beholder.

For centuries, people have searched for effective ways to improve their fortune.

His investigations further reveal that ‘Knots' are also considered as amulets as they are thought to trap evil spirits.
