PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH HEX SIGNS

Prof. Johnny Ott, Hexologist from Lenhartsville, Penna. and Jacob Zook,
The Hex Man of Paradise, Penna., bring you “Good Luck Signs” for every
situation from “sore feet” to the “farmer with unhappy pigs” to
“mother-in-law troubles”.

I had these hex signs hanging in the walls in my house as a child

My mom has kitchen trivets with hex art painted on them! And my great-aunt commissioned my father to paint a hex sign for the wall of her shed. We’re not Pennsylvania Dutch, we all just like this tradition a lot.
