    Why are rabbit's feet said to be lucky?

    Question #38208. Asked by elizabethmc.

    Siskin

    one of the more interesting stories claims that if a rabbit is killed during a full moon by a cross-eyed person, and then the rabbit's left hind foot is removed and carried in someone's left pocket, it is truly lucky. The foot is considered a powerful charm against evil because the rabbit's strong hind legs touch the ground before its front legs. Mmmm!!

    The following extract from the site detailed below lends support to part of Siskin's answer.

    Rabbits are associated with spring and the return of new life. They're prolific breeders and thus are symbols of fertility, thought to bring good crops, many children, and prosperity.

    Owning a rabbit's foot would give you vital connections with many powerful forces (some would say dark forces, since rabbits live underground). According to one source, the rabbit's left hind foot is considered lucky because it touches the ground before its front legs.
