Catching a Falling Leaf Is Auspicious

Next time an autumn leaf blows past your face,  try to catch it – legend has it that it will bring good luck, or that you get to make a wish on it. The superstition can get more complex depending on the color and type of leaf you catch: A red leaf (or maple leaves in general) could mean good luck in love, and an orange leaf could mean inner transformation. Ginkgo leaves (my personal favorite) symbolize enlightenment, as well as hope and resilience.

How long does the good luck last? It could be a week or a month or the whole season, depending on who you’re talking to. After you catch it, you can release it back into the wind or bring it inside to incorporate into your seasonal decor.
