The ancient Celtic Druids believed that anyone who owned a 4-leaf clover could absorb the powers of the forest and the fate of gods and, with that, too, would get the gift of prosperity. The number of leaves (4) represents a complete cycle, ie, the four seasons, the four phases of the moon and the four elements of nature (air, water, earth and fire). The legend states that each leaf clover has a meaning: hope, faith, love and luck.
