1/8/12 Links were updated and several pages were edited.  Keep your checking back though - a new contest will be announced soon!

8/26/11 Several updates to share - first of all is wonderful news.  The Church of Good Luck has received a generous endowment from an anonymous benefactor that should cover all ongoing Church expenses for the foreseeable future.  As a result the Church will no longer accept donations or gifts of money.  All prayer requests and setting lights at the weekly candle service will be free of charge to members and the general public.  To our knowledge we are only the second Church in history to be be completely non-commercial (the first being the FCLL in San Francisco).  The donation button has been permanently removed from this website.  Of course your prayers and good wishes are always appreciated.

Secondly  -MAJOR NEWSFLASH!  Billiken is Canadian!!!  you heard it here first.  Actually you will need to read it -it's in the revised Billiken History article.  And for those of you who read the entire thing there is a special treat waiting for you.

Beyond that, there are a couple of new Lucky Tokens, including the one that people used to get with orders to the Sovereign Curio Company.  Also a couple of new lucky Miscellaneous Items including a wonderful lucite pyramid.  Plus some new pictures and information on The Hindu incense Manufacturing Company on the hard-to-find vintage and antique Incense page. Check that one out for lots of good images.

7/24/11  A major new piece on Billiken is up: Billiken History.  This article details, for the first time, information about how Billiken became a worldwide phenomenon.   Also there are updates and new images on the Lucky Gods page and the  Miscellaneous Lucky Items page (a lucky knife!),  Also, on the Lucky Coins and Token page is a new token that was pictured on the cover of the book "11 Keys to Power".

5/1/11 The Lucky Quote Contest is over.  Thanks to all who entered.  Please take a look at the quotes, sayings and proverbs that were entered on the new Quotes and Sayings page. Also check the Quote Contest page to see who won the Grand Prize.  Of course everyone who entered will be receiving a prize  -thanks to all!

3/6/11  First of all - apologies to people who were looking here for new things and not finding them.  All of the news that used to be included here was old news, so from now on this page will only include the last few most recent updates.

So, the first big news today is the founding of the Museum of Good Luck.  The Museum is a sister site to the Church of Good Luck and it has two departments.  One department contains information and images of lucky items and the other contains the archive of old curio catalogs. 

Along with this new organization, the navigation has been updated with the intent that will be a bit less random.  There are well over 100 pages of content here, with blind alleys and rabbit holes galore.  The division of the website into Church and Museum is intended to make it easier to find related content using the navigation bar located on the top of each page.  Please send your feedback  - it's always welcome.

Beyond that, a few small changes and updates have been made.  There is a large backlog of items waiting to be catalogued in the Museum, so check back for more updates soon!
