The tradition of the lucky horseshoe dates back to ancient times, with its roots in Irish folklore and history. According to legend, St. Dunstan, a blacksmith in the 10th century, outsmarted the devil by securing a hot horseshoe to his hoof with iron nails. The devil, in great pain, promised to respect the horseshoe and never enter any place where one was hung above the door. This belief continues to this day, with people hanging horseshoes to keep evil spirits and bad luck out of their homes. Not only is the horseshoe considered lucky, but being a blacksmith was also seen as a fortunate trade. Iron, as a strong and durable material, was thought to have magical properties that could ward off negative energy. Even the number of nails on a horseshoe, seven, is considered lucky. The superstitions surrounding the horseshoe evolved over the years, with some fearing its power to keep witches away. In the Middle Ages, people would even nail horseshoes to witches' coffins to ensure they stayed buried. Today, you can find horseshoes hung over doors, both inside and out, all around the world. To maximize its luck-bringing abilities, hang the horseshoe in a "U" shape with the ends pointing upwards. Whether you believe in its powers or simply appreciate its unique history, our Blue Sparkler is a charming addition to any home. Perfect for hanging above a door, it adds a touch of character and whimsy to your decor. So why not bring a bit of luck into your life with our handcrafted and one-of-a-kind Blue Sparkler?
