The image of a wishbone is well-known as a good luck charm in the western world. The history of breaking a wishbone for good luck dates back to the Etruscans, an ancient civilization who lived in what is now known as Italy. The Etruscans believed that birds were able to predict the future and used wishbones as magickal objects that could divine the weather and predict a person’s fortune. Centuries later the practice of breaking a wishbone was continued by various groups in Northern Europe and the British Isles. They called the bone a ‘merrythought’.
Today the wishbone is used to symbolize hope for the future, good fortune, untapped potential, or a new chapter or beginning.
