[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9616742, member: 2844"]It is meant to be worn with the round side up, the open side down, as you can see from the way the pin is placed.:) Some people believe that your luck runs out when the open side faces down, but that is a more recent superstition. Horseshoe shapes are ancient protective symbols of the Goddess, representing the womb. So open side down should be auspicious, the Goddess is probably pleased that she doesn't have to stand on her head.;)[/QUOTE]
