Magic of the Horse-Shoe

Robert Means Lawrence

Published in the early 20th century, 'Magic of the Horse-Shoe' by Robert Means Lawrence explores the origins and history of superstitions, particularly focusing on the horse-shoe as a symbol of good luck. The book examines how these beliefs, rooted in paganism, reflect the human psyche and cultural history. While it aims to be accessible to general readers, it also acknowledges the complexities and criticisms from folklorists. Lawrence's work contributes to the growing interest in folklore and popular customs, making it a notable study in the field.
