HISTORY, PROVENANCE, ANECDOTAL, METAPHYSICAL, SYMBOLISM &/or LORE: According to long standing Irish lore, the leaves of a four-leaf clover each represent hope, faith, love, and a fourth for good luck. Druids presumed that carrying a four leaf clover allowed one to visualize (and thus escape) evil spirts. They quickly became popular Celtic charms, valued to ward off bad luck of all varieties. It was common belief during the Middle Ages that if someone carried a four-leaf clover, they would have the ability to see fairies.
