The Horseshoe Symbol In Culture And War
The piece surveys the horseshoe as a talisman against witchcraft and ill luck, citing folklore about its protective power and a knight’s fate when a horse shod improperly. It shifts to praise courage, noting female bravery in siege and the contrast with male bravado, then touches on mound builders and their defenses, mines, arts, and copper work, ending with a stray note about Strauss and Venice dance parties.
