"Lucky Hand root" is a term that refers to an object often used in folklore and especially in the hoodoo belief system, which is an African-American traditional spiritual practice. It is a general name for several roots and plants that resemble a human hand, especially the palm or fingers. These plants are considered good luck charms and are used in various rituals and as magic items designed to attract luck, wealth, protection and success.

One plant commonly considered a "lucky root" is Salep root (scientifically known as Orchis mascula and other species) belonging to the orchid family. It is believed to bring special luck and protection and can be used in a variety of ways, such as carrying it around as an amulet, adding it to mojo bags (power bags that contain various magical items), or using it as part of spells and rituals.

The use of lucky hand root is based on the belief that certain natural objects have natural, metaphysical properties that can positively affect a person's life. This tradition has its roots in African and African-American spiritual practices, where natural objects and plants play a central role as sources of spiritual power and protection.
