It is also considered good luck for a rabbit to cross your path. More benign examples of this trope include a live rabbit that benefits from the luck of his own feet, or is able to give luck to people while still being alive.Īnother superstition that associates rabbits and luck is that saying 'Rabbit Rabbit' or 'White Rabbits' at the beginning of the month will bring luck. If he's a Rascally Rabbit, then the human can be the unlucky one as the rabbit uses his trickery to defend himself.
Sometimes humans attempting to obtain a lucky rabbit's foot may lead to a chase because the rabbit would prefer to keep his feet. The practice of using a lucky rabbit's foot is usually depicted as something that only applies to people owning the feet of dead rabbits. (The former version does have the advantage of providing an answer to the point made in the page quote.) However, in other practices, just any old rabbit foot will do. In some traditions, the rabbit from which the foot is obtained must have certain properties and be killed in a certain way. A variety of cultures use the foot of a rabbit as a good luck charm. This trope refers to the association between rabbits and luck.
