Horseshoes served a practical purpose, protecting a horse's hooves as they go about their business. Over time, this symbol of the horseshoe began to acquire other meanings, most notably as a symbol of luck.
Even today, the horseshoe symbol is prevalent in our societies, as a sign of good fortune. It can be seen on jewelry, artwork and clothing.
Here's a look at how a practical object became a highly sought after symbol.
Protection – Because of its religious background and its iron material, horseshoes are generally believed to help protect people from evil spirits, demons, and even witches. It's typically hung on a door or an external wall to keep evil away.
Attracting luck – If a horseshoe is hanging heels up like the letter U, it's believed to act as a bowl that catches all the good luck raining down from the sky for the homeowner.
Flowing down luck – If a horseshoe is hanging heels down, it means that whoever walks underneath it will receive luck.
Relationship to the Moon – The symbol of the horseshoe is not just taken for its literal meaning. For one, the Chaldeans of Ancient Europe believe that horseshoes are lucky because of its crescent shape that mimics the moon.
One interesting caveat to the lucky horseshoe is that good luck only comes to those who own the horseshoe. Stealing, borrowing or buying the horseshoe will not provide the same luck as finding it. Today, finding a real horseshoe is almost impossible, unless you leave near a ranch and work with horses. This is why gifting a horseshoe symbol is an excellent way for the receiver to ‘find' the luck of a horseshoe.
