According to ancient beliefs, horseshoes were believed to bring good luck and protect against evil spirits when hung above the door. One legend behind this superstition involves Saint Dunstan, a 10th century blacksmith, and the devil. As the story goes, the devil asked Dunstan for a horseshoe for his hoof, but Dunstan instead used iron nails to place a red hot horseshoe on the devil's hoof, causing him great pain. The devil begged for it to be removed and Dunstan agreed, on the condition that the devil would never be able to enter any place where a horseshoe was hung above the door. This belief in the lucky powers of horseshoes has been passed down through the ages, with people all over the world hanging them for good luck. Iron, the material used by blacksmiths, was also believed to have magical qualities as it could withstand fire. In fact, many horseshoes were made with seven nails, a number considered to bring good luck. Even today, the tradition continues and many still hang horseshoes above their doors in a "U" shape to ward off evil and invite good luck into their homes.
