But the story of the lucky horseshoe dates back much further, to ancient times in 959 A.D. We have all heard about lucky charms like four-leaf clovers and horseshoes from none other than the legendary Elvis Presley. But did you know that the horseshoe has a special place in Irish folklore and history? It is said that the horseshoe was first considered a symbol of protection when Saint Dunstan, a blacksmith in the 10th century, outsmarted the devil with a red hot horseshoe, securing it to the devil's hoof with iron nails and causing him great pain. From that moment on, the horseshoe became a symbol of keeping evil at bay and bringing in good fortune. This belief was further strengthened by the fact that blacksmiths were considered to have a lucky trade, and iron was believed to possess magical properties as it could withstand fire. The number of nails on the horseshoe, often seven, also adds to its lucky reputation. As time passed, more stories and superstitions were added to the legend of the lucky horseshoe. During the Middle Ages, it was widely believed that witches were afraid of horses and their iron shoes. Some even went as far as nailing horseshoes to witches' coffins to prevent them from rising from the dead. Today, we can still find horseshoes hanging above doorways with the "U" shape facing upwards to keep evil out and luck in, or hung upside down to let luck flow out.
