I have heard that elephants are considered to be good luck. I was curious to know in what way. I knew a lady once that had elephants all over her house. She had pictures, figurines, refrigerater magnets, and all kinds of elephant bric-a-brac.
I admit, I was afraid that I would offend her if I asked her why she thought that they were good luck. After all, she was one of my sisters in-laws and I did not want to be rude. I also heard that the tusk hast to be turned a certain way. What are your feelings on this?

No, they are not good luck. That is superstitous, as evil is. But, it is harmless, if someone wants to think it.

This is very interesting. I knew that the trunk had to be turned a certain way, but I did not remember that it was up. I am going to try to find out more about this. I recently found out the contrary to myth and legend, elephants are not afraid of ants. I would even be surprised if they could see one.
