I was sitting in the sun by a lake with my partner when I spied something below the surface, buried in the lakebed with a bit sticking out. I fished it out and, lo and behold, it was a horseshoe.
My partner assures me that this is a lucky horseshoe, and did some research. Apparently some people say it needs to be hung above a doorway. Some people say it needs to be hung facing upwards like a "U", to collect the luck that the horseshoe attracts. Other people say that it needs to be hung the other way round, like a rainbow, to allow the luck to flow out and into the people around it.
It's very rusty, I washed it with a brush in a bucket of soapy water to get the mud and big bits of rust off, but if I paint over it to make it less if an eyesore when it gets hung up somewhere, surely this will block the luck contained within from coming out?
Please can the hive mind of GD kindly offer some advice on placement, orientation and finish?
Many thanks
