Have you ever wondered why horseshoes are considered lucky? Well, I wondered that too, and so here's what I've found. Hope you enjoy!

Northern mythology, comprising the principal popular traditions and superstitions of Scandinavia, north Germany, and the Netherlands by Benjamin Thorpe

Great video as always. You always make the most interesting videos in the highest of quality! Thank you very much for all the hard work you put towards teaching people very interesting things!
Great video, and again I learned something new. I've been planning on hanging a horseshoe outside my shop. Strangely I haven't done so yet since I'm a hobbyist blacksmith. Keep up the great work.
super underrated
Nice.

Is that why I have an iron allergy

Because they are made of iron. Elves can't abide iron.
Numerous sources have considered cold iron to be protective against magic.
A horseshoe above a doorway should have the points DOWN so as to sprinkle good luck on those walking through the doorway.
Always hang a horseshoe with the toe pointed down if the toe is pointed up the luck will run out.
Are you saying horseshoe point down is a better choice?
A minute and thirty second ad on a six minutes video? That's pretty much a fourth of the video.
A full 30% of your video is an ad. Not great. Hope you got paid well for it.
Honestly, I agree with you. Short videos like this will not have sponsors in the future. I apologize.
Well you can skip over the ad
Uninformative, and just plain wrong. Horseshoes above smithies were always hung upside-down, symbolizing both magic entering the forge, and the assurance of a steady flow of paying customers.
