The Rabbit’s Foot: Quintessential Lucky Charm

The legend of the Rabbit’s Foot goes back over 2600 years. In many countries and continents around the world it is carried as an amulet or charm believed to bring good luck to the wearer. Superstition abounds regarding:

• where the rabbit should be killed (cemetery or, better yet, on a grave of an evildoer)
• when the rabbit should be killed (during a new moon or a full moon or on a rainy Friday the 13th)
• how the rabbit should be killed (with a silver bullet or while the rabbit is still alive) and
• which foot should be used (most agree that it should be the hind left foot).

The current popularity of the rabbit’s foot as a lucky charm, can be traced to the African practice of hoodoo in the South of the United States. Our sources say that the rabbit is a quick and clever creature in the African tradition of “B’rer Rabbit”. They are able to procreate in abundance, thus making themselves symbolics survivors who flourish in the animal kingdom. They thrive in huge numbers, and, therefore, they are difficult to exterminate. Hence, the rabbit is considered a “successful” animal species.

In addition to being “fast on its feet”, the rabbit pack ran in such large numbers it also was considered to be a symbol of Protection against all evil and nefarious forces – including voodoo, witchcraft and black magic. President Theodore Roosevelt was even known to carry a rabbit’s foot, according to his autobiography.

In hoodoo, magical lore, and blues folklore, the rabbit’s foot is considered to be a substitute for a witch’s body part. Witches could potentially shape-shift into such animals. This notion further fuels the legendary supernatural powers which are associated with the rabbit’s foot. In many instances, the wearer believes that, since the rabbit’s foot takes on the spirit of the “bogeyman, witch, or evil-doer”, that it is able to reverse or counteract any dangerous and harmful threats which are sent to the wearer.
