Horseshoe for luck: how to hang it in the apartment and in the house

There are many countries in the world, each with its own culture, unique language and beliefs. However, no matter what continent you fly to, everywhere the horseshoe is a symbol of good luck and wealth. In Russia, this talisman also had a sacred meaning. It's time to figure out where the horseshoe should hang in the house, according to the belief of our ancestors.

Where should it hang?

Different peoples have beliefs associated with the miraculous properties of this item. The first legend is associated with Ancient Egypt. It says that the horseshoes of the horses of the pharaohs were golden. The chariots were always followed by a crowd at the parade, waiting for the horseshoe to bounce off and be caught by the most fortunate. Since then, the list of magical properties of this amulet has expanded significantly. It is believed that it can bring:

  • success in all endeavors, whether it be work or business;
  • blessings of the gods;
  • fulfillment of the most secret desires;
  • peace in the house and harmony in the family;
  • untold riches;
  • luck in gambling;
  • of course, good health.

If you become the proud owner of such an attribute, the question immediately arises: where to hang it? It depends on what exactly is required from the amulet. If you hang it outside the house, above the gate, then protection from evil spells, the evil eye and damage is provided.

If you have problems in the family, then such an object should hang inside the house, above the hearth. The latter refers to a place where a fire is made, on which food is cooked or a house is heated. Therefore, in an apartment, instead of a hearth, you can use a stove. If you dream of replenishing the family, then you should hang the amulet in the bedroom of the spouses above the head of the bed.

Important! A horseshoe can protect you from many misfortunes, whether it be theft or fire. But this does not mean that safety precautions can be neglected, especially with kitchen appliances.

What should she be?

Before deciding on the place where you will hang the amulet, you should think about where to find it. A hundred years ago, seeing a horse on the street was common, but now it is a rarity. However, there are several places where the probability of finding this item increases many times:

  • The village is the easiest option. But do not climb into the very wilderness, there are no people or horses left. It is better to go to the farm.
  • Hippodrome - a place where horse racing is held, it is impossible to wish for better. But unfortunately, it is not available in all cities.
  • riding schools also not a bad option, if any.
  • Blacksmith - now this craft is beginning to take on a second life. A master who can forge a luxurious gate can easily cope with the manufacture of a horseshoe. But whether such a talisman will be effective is not exactly known. In any case, you can try. Suddenly, an avalanche of inspiration, happiness and wealth will unexpectedly cover you.

Of course, clever businessmen offer to purchase this symbol of well-being in online stores. It's fast and easy. You can order a silver or gold horseshoe, with delivery to the door of the apartment, in a festive package. But, this is just a beautiful trifle that does not have any magical properties. Only a used item can become a real talisman, which should be found, well, in extreme cases - received as a gift.

Important! A horseshoe cannot be stolen; such a talisman will not bring happiness.

How to hang an amulet

Even if the amulet you find is too dirty, this will not affect its ability to attract happiness and good luck in any way. It is enough to clean the item, wash and lubricate with machine oil so that rust does not appear. And you can decide how to hang it. There are various options:

  • up horns;
  • down horns;
  • on a nail;
  • on a rope.

Feng Shui regulates the location of any item in the house and the lucky talisman is no exception. The horse, according to Feng Shui, carries a very favorable energy. The horseshoe that protected the hooves of this animal is charged from it and will bring money, business prosperity and longevity to the house. It is recommended to hang the amulet with the horns up. This position will allow you to accumulate and increase positive energy.

Owners of private houses should pay attention to which side of the world the gate is directed. If the exit is to the southeast, then you should refrain from using the amulet. A horseshoe buried on the northwest side of the house will attract an influential patron to your side.

In order for her to tune in to happiness, she needs to be nailed inside the house, above the door. The owners must do this procedure together, first holding the amulet by the horns. In this case, it will be correct to hang it with the horns up, as in the method described above. This item is nailed to only one nail, otherwise it will not be able to gain full strength.

Important! Before hanging a horseshoe, it is necessary that all family members hold it in their hands. Thus, happiness will not bypass anyone.

In order for all the troubles and hardships to flow down from you and leave, the horns should be directed down. An amulet hung in this way will attract good luck and luck. Place it on the door. According to Russian traditions, in this case it should not be nailed, it should be hung on a string. Our ancestors believed that since the horseshoe was already nailed and wanted to free itself, it means that nails can no longer be used.

The history of our ancestors is heavily saturated with symbolism. All jewelry was essentially amulets. Embroidery on towels, bed linen, clothes was supposed to protect a person from unclean forces. Carved wooden decorations protected the house. It is often said that the horseshoe is a symbol of the month, therefore it was revered by the Slavs. This has no historical confirmation. The Slavs considered the moon to be a female symbol. All amulets dedicated to the moon were worn only by women.

The ancients worshiped the sun, and the cross was always the symbol of the sun. Not to be confused with the Christian cross. The horse was a reliable assistant to Dazhbog. This is one of the main gods of the pantheon in East Slavic mythology. Therefore, the image of a horse and a horseshoe belonged to universal amulets and were talismans.

They not only protect from evil forces and the evil eye, they are able to bring happiness and good luck. It was believed that the iron from which horseshoes are made is itself capable of protecting against evil spells. Rusty iron attracts diseases, so the rust was not removed from the amulet. All diseases passing by housing were attracted to this object and did not overtake the household. Such items were fastened exclusively with horns to the top.

The Slavs widely used not only horseshoes, but also their various images. A fabula fastening a man's cloak, or a pendant on a bracelet, also protected from the evil eye. The horse was also a symbol of the god Perun, guarded in the form of a horse or a horseshoe away from home and protected the traveler. In our time, such pendants also have not lost their relevance and are often found as decoration.

In Italy, they try to hang this item in such a way that everyone entering the house touches it. The Mexicans nail it very high so that outsiders cannot reach it. In the British Isles, they are hung only with the horns up at the level of the raised hand. Thus, it will be possible to scoop up the accumulated wealth from the cup. It doesn't matter in our country.

For simplicity, there are two rules to remember. It is better to hang the horns down outside the house, and then the negative energy will drain along the bulge into the ground. All negativity, envy and anger will bypass you. Horns up represent a full bowl, so they hang inside the house. In this case, he will be filled with joy, happiness and grace.

To attract money, the following method is advised. On the full moon, the amulet should be placed on the windowsill with the horns inside. Then financial well-being will not leave your home.

Important! Even if the car is protected by a heavily worn horseshoe found, this does not exempt you from complying with traffic rules. Remember, the road is not the place to test the properties of magical attributes.

Nobel laureate physicist Niels Bohr had an excellent sense of humor. It is known that a horseshoe hung over its door. Once a scientist was asked if he really believes in the ability of this object to attract good luck and happiness. To this question, he replied: "Of course not, but I was told that it works, even if you don't believe it."

So, if you find such an item, leave the talisman for good luck. It is better to hang it over the door. Perhaps after a while it will be found that the problems have disappeared, and life has become more beautiful. How to do it right, you can look at the video again.
