Celtic Charms and Symbols

       Well lets first start with the Shamrock Celtic Symbols.
Legend has it that way back in the days of Celts and Druids a Bishop from the Catholic church came to them to convert the Druids to Christianity we now know his name was St Patrick. As the legend has it St Patrick plucked a shamrock from the ground to show the Druids about the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) The plant became reputed to have mystic powers for when a storm was approaching it petals would stand upright to warn of the approaching storm. The shamrock still remains to this very day as one of Ireland most famous Celtic symbols. While studying Celtic symbols in history the scholars have discovered that the shamrock was used as a charm to ward away evil. Although the factual true origins of the shamrock as a Celtic symbol are lost. In today's circles we still think of them as lucky And a four leaf shamrock being rare in nature is considered very lucky indeed so wear your four leaf clover silver charms proudly. Seeing that Shamrocks are a type of clover it is genetically only a three leaf plant and the growth of a fourth is just a defect. So if you do find a field of shamrock clover you'll have to look pretty hard to find your lucky four leaf shamrock Celtic symbol.
