Good luck charms

This is a wolf's ankle bone, a good luck charm from Mongolia. There's all sorts of rules for how it "works". It doesn't work if you buy one, you have to kill the wolf yourself or steal the bone from someone else. You also have to keep it in the lowest, dirtiest place in your house, like under your washing machine in the basement or something. To show it who's boss I guess.

Ahhh one for down the back of the cooker perhaps!

Interesting! Never heard of it before...

I almost hate to say it but I have to..

. Did you buy it, steal it or kill it & make it?

I was given it as a gift, I'm not sure if that means it "works" or not.

Here's a brass keychain version

Cool! nice gift! Perhaps its ok if they stole or killed it?

Personally I reckon gifts are good stuff, but don't think Ive any Mongolian ancestry...

Thanks for posting its always nice to learn something new.

I don't 100% understand it, but the luck has something to do with the wolf "allowing" you to kill it. Even seeing a wolf is good luck. When they do kill a wolf, they strap it to the hood of their car and drive around town to show it off.

So maybe stealing it preserves the luck because you outsmarted the guy who outsmarted the wolf?
