🔨 Horseshoes 🔨

Horseshoes have long been considered powerful symbols of luck and protection. Their crescent shape is often associated with good fortune, and they have been used for centuries to ward off evil spirits and attract positive energy.

Did you know?
• Hanging a horseshoe upright (like a "U") is believed to collect and hold good luck.
• Some traditions say hanging it downward allows luck to pour over those who pass beneath it.
• The number of nails used (traditionally seven) is thought to enhance its magical properties.

Originally made of iron—a metal believed to repel mischievous spirits—horseshoes were often placed above doorways as protective charms. They remind us that luck can be forged through strength, resilience, and the right footing. 🐎✨
