Spiritually, we can link the horseshoe with a talisman or amulet that protects us and our personal space.
The crescent form of the horseshoe links the symbol to pagan moon goddesses of ancient europe such as artemis and diana, and the protection invoked is that of the goddess herself.
The horseshoe is always taken as a lucky symbol and, traditionally, if it is turned upwards it represents the moon and protection from all aspects of evil. When turned downwards, the power is reputed to âdrain outâ and therefore be unlucky.
