Französisch Begriff oder Satz: croix du recours aux 7 pouvoirs
This is a free gift in an esoteric magazine, which it is claimed will bring luck, money, love and success into your dull existence. I can't come up with anything that reflects this neatly, but maybe somebody out there is feeling inspired. I suppose there is some poetic license.
Many thanks in advance for all your help!

Notiz(en) an den/des Fragesteller(s)
Jo Curtis: 11:34am Feb 1, 2006: Thanks - Unfortunately the 7 powers are specifically mentioned so they will have to figure somewhere in the translation of this term. What I have so far is Cross of Appeal to the 7 Powers but it's not exactly snappy.
John Peterson: 11:40am Feb 1, 2006: Maybe your key to unlocking the seven powers? -
Tony M: 12:02pm Feb 1, 2006: Do you have any idea what these 7 powers are meant to be? Are they related to the chakras? -
Jo Curtis: 12:09pm Feb 1, 2006: Thanks - The seven powers are not related to chakras, it's the power to win money, have everyone love you, be successful, etc. It's a tricky one, because the literal translation sounds stilted. The problem is a synonym for"recours". I have only found appeal. Thanks very much for your help and interest.
Tony M: 12:16pm Feb 1, 2006: I like John's idea of 'key', and maybe you need to get away from 'recours' altogether; is 'invoke' too strong? -

your key to lady luck

Erklärung:
Not much, I admit.It may be that the 7 pouvoirs refers to something special, so the translation would have to reflect this.

It it works, put my name down for one!

Seven African Powers -- Las Siete Potencias Africanas -- Les Sept Pouvoirs Africains

Erklärung:
A propos "the seven powers": A big clue could be found in the African-derived religions practiced in the Americas, in which are worshipped, in English, The Seven African Powers; in Spanish, Las Siete Potencias Africanas and in French, Les Sept Pouvoirs Africains (or Les Sept Puissances Africaines). Just a suggestion.
