lucky charm is a Scarab

Let's hope you're not afraid of bugs, because it turns out that scarabs are your lucky charm. But before you get creeped out, you don't need the living thing for luck to come your way.(No one wants a living dung beetle crawling around in their pocket, after all.) So consider yourself one of the fortunate few.

When the likeness of the scarab is stamped, carved or engraved onto stone, glass, wood and metal, it becomes one of the oldest good-luck charms in the world.

Keep one next to your heart for long life. Place one next to your head while you sleep for protection. As the sacred symbol of the eternal soul, you might want to carry more than one scarab charm—one for this life and one for the next.
