Horseshoes have been considered lucky for a very long time. Originally made of iron (Fe), the horseshoe myth developed a Christian twist resulting from a legend told about the 10th century Saint Dunstan. The story goes that Dustan who worked as a BLACKSMITH had a meeting one day with the Devil who walked into his shop and asked him to shoe his horse. Dunstan agreed to the request, pretending not to recognize him. Instead of shoeing the horse, Dustan nailed it to the Devil’s foot. In great pain, the Devil promised to never enter a home with a horseshoe nailed to the door. With that promise, Dustan agreed to remove the shoe.
