The meaning of Clover

Clover is the only plant whose leaves are even more popular than its blossoms. There is a wealth of lore, legends, and symbolism about this plant. Undoubtedly the most widespread belief about clovers is the auspiciousness of a four-leaf specimen. The four-leaf clover is seen as a powerful magical talisman. “If you find an even ash or a four-leaved clover, rest assured you’ll see your true love ere the day is over.” This is a verse taken from an old magical charm from North England.

Clover has been used in magic and divination for centuries to foresee and attract romance, love, and marriage. For example, to dream of a clover meant having a happy and prosperous marriage. In Wales, it was believed that a two-leaved clover, if found by accident and put under the pillow, would reveal, through a prophetic dream, the future lover.
