The Chicken represents prosperity and abundance. To encounter a large group implies that a good harvest lies in your future. A hen, especially with eggs or chicks, is a positive omen of fertility. Chickens are associated with loving care and protection of offspring and are the ultimate foster mothers. Chicken feet are powerful magical protection from any spells cast against you or negative energy directed at you, including, in some traditions, negative emotion-based energy, such as jealousy and desire which may inspire theft, thus the foot can be used as an anti-theft charm as well as to ward off the evil eye. In the case of an existing curse or crossed situation, the foot can be moved around the body in a scratching motion to scratch the negative energy out of your aura. Some use chicken feet for spells related to revealing hidden things and uncovering secrets. Chickens hearts can be used in sympathetic magic, particularly for curses. The heart is named and pierced with a needle to cause pain to an enemy, or fed to an animal to ensure your power over the enemy. When the wishbone is retrieved from a roasted chicken, two people can make a wish, each grasping one end of the wishbone and pull until the bone breaks. The person who is left holding the longer piece can expect their wish to come true. Chicken eggs are used for divination, ritual cleansing, healing and exorcisms and their shells are used to make Cascarilla powder. The chicken is a popular sacrifice in African and diaspora and Latin American traditions. Some Gods prefer the chicken as a sacrifice. If a person is ill or determined to be under attack by spiritual forces, a chicken may be identified as the person and then killed in the place of the human, thus ending the illness or attack. In the Jewish tradition of kapparos, on the day before Yom Kippur, you may transfer your sins into a chicken (or other small animal) and have it sacrificed for your absolution. The chicken seems to be a good vessel for spirits in general and may be used to draw out an unwanted spirit during exorcisms or simply be kept nearby during ritual to draw any evil spirits into the chicken so that they leave the people alone. Chickens that are sacrificed are still usually eaten by human participants. The black chicken is the most preferred for magic. However, it appears that white chickens were preferred by the ancients.
