When did this superstition first come about and where did it originate???... Thanks so much... JessiWhy is the left hind foot of a rabbit known to be a good luck charm?
Early man was puzzled by the rabbit: at the rabbit's cleverness while hunting, its ability to burrow underground, its meetings with other rabbits on moonlit evenings. Man was particularly impressed by the animal's swiftness, which was due to its powerful hind legs. The rabbit became a sign of good fortune, and its hind foot became a treasured amulet.Why is the left hind foot of a rabbit known to be a good luck charm?
From the point of view of the rabbit, it's not really a sign of good luck, is it? (I like the other person's answer, personally, but had to throw this in there.)
Wikipedia says that the belief originates in the system of African-American folk magic known as hoodoo. (Which is distinct from the Haitian religion of voodoo)
