The Cicada’s reputed ability to ward off bad luck and to be an attractive force for good luck makes it an ideal decoration for the office. They represent happiness because of their joyful songs in the heat of the day, and youthfulness and fertility because of their long life filled with great transformations. Placing a cicada in your workplace or home life is sure to help remind you or all the potential happiness and joy that can be found in life.
Like the Chinese nobleman of old, modern businessmen have adopted the cicada as a charm to help them succeed in competitive careers. A cicada charm, pin or image is believed to help to ward off jealous and back-stabbing colleagues or managers with bad intentions.
Having the image of cicada in the house, and in the bedroom, is also thought to increase fertility.
