The Magical Lore of Pennies
|
It was once believed that metal was a gift from the gods, thereby endowing it with protection and auspicious power. This was especially true for copper, from which pennies are made. Copper is ruled by Venus, which means pennies can attract good luck to those who know how to use it for such purposes.
