For many centuries, people have been trying to protect their home, choosing the most various ways for this. One of the most common unconventional methods is to protect the house with a talisman.
A horseshoe is not only a powerful home amulet, but also serves as a magnet for happiness. A popular belief says that a horseshoe purchased has less power than those that were once on a horse. The best protective properties are possessed by rusty and old horseshoes found on the street.
After the horseshoe is brought into the house, it must be washed with soap, cleaned and oiled, and then held by all household members. Only after performing all these actions can it be hung. Thus, it turns into a home guard. A properly hung horseshoe can help the owners, bringing harmony and financial well-being to the house. In ancient times, it was believed that a horse has powerful power, and horseshoes are also its carriers, accumulating positive energy and magical properties.
Horseshoe nails
It is believed that when nailing a horseshoe, it is necessary to use only one nail. Moreover, he should not visually divide this amulet in half, but be nailed on one of its sides. If the horseshoe has many holes, then it is worth nailing it using the same number of nails so that unclean forces could not get into the house through these openings. Another belief says that in this way all the evil spirits that live in the horseshoe are locked there forever and are not able to get out into the house.
Up or down?
There are several ways to hang a talisman - up or down. If you hang a horseshoe on the wall with its horns up, it becomes like a bowl and attracts abundance and financial well-being to the house. Located in this form, the amulet will contribute to the accumulation of positive energy in the room. In order for the horseshoe to bring as much money as possible into the house, it is necessary to place it above the front door so that it is completely invisible to those entering the house.
When the horseshoe is placed down, this amulet helps protect the inhabitants of the house from the envy and negative wishes of other people. It must be located outside the premises of the apartment or house. If there is no opportunity to hang a horseshoe outside the apartment, so as not to embarrass the neighbors, it can be placed above the front door from the inside. Thus, it will not only decorate the space, protecting from evil spirits, but will also protect households from quarrels and negative situations. The horseshoe located in this way is able to protect strangers from the unfriendly thoughts. All their bad wishes will not be able to stay on the horseshoe and will slide down. All negative energy will also go back to the earth. In the same way, it is recommended that horseshoes be placed in rooms containing livestock.
How to keep the power of the amulet
In order for the amulet to retain its magical properties, it is necessary to periodically clean it. If it is not possible to remove it, then the candle flame is suitable for the purification procedure - it is necessary to circle the fire several times counterclockwise along the outline of the horseshoe. If the horseshoe is removed without any problems, then to clean it, you can leave it under the moonlight at night or wash it under running water. Wiping a horseshoe from the water, you need to say words of gratitude and wishes to help her bring prosperity and good luck to the house.
