HORSE AND CIRCUS BRASSES:Horse-brasses HORSE BRASS: HORSE/ HORSESHOE COLLECTION: Three Horseshoes in Horseshoe. The horseshoe is an ancient protective symbol. With the heel uppermost, it is used in magic to call upon the protection of the moon. With the heel pointing downward, the protective powers are brought to focus on the bearer. Why the moon? because of our timeless fear of the unknown... the darkeness of night when vision is very limited thus works to the advantage of the "evil eye." The moon is called upon to provide light....keeping the "bad" spirits at bay. Is this a rediculous notion? Why is it young children naturally fear the dark of night and seek the comfort of others until they fall asleep. Three horseshos together represent the Holy Trinity and when shown within another larger horseshoe, it suggests the power of the Trilogy is being called upon collectively as one powerful force to protect the bearer.

Each is hand filed to remove any excess brass that may have been left from casting, then hand polished to enhance the beauty of quality brass. Measurement: Approximately 3.75" in diameter.

PRICES STARTING AT: $7.95 HORSE BRASS: ABBEY/CATHEDRAL/PARSONAGE COLLECTION: Bronte Parsonage. The Bronte Parsonage, located in Haworth, Yorkshire, is the English home of the famous Bronte sisters who spent most of their lives here writing their famous novels inspired by their natural surroundings. In 1820, their Irish born father Patrick Bronte, a published author of poetry and fiction, arrived in Haworth with his Cornish born wife Maria and their six children, taking residence in the local parsonage. Their mother, Maria, died of cancer in 1821 and in 1825 a sister died at the age of eleven. Ten year old Elizabeth died one month later. The surviving children remained at home in the parsonage where education played an important role in their life. Their father held a seat at Cambridge University and encouraged his children to read every book that came their way. Both Charlotte and Emily would later become teachers, but writing would remain their passion until their death: Emily at the age of thirty in 1848 (of tuberculosis)and Anne at the age of twenty-nine in Scarborough where she was receiving treatment in 1849. Charlotte died in March 1855, just three weeks before her thirty-ninth birthday. Their father continued living in the parsonage for the next six years being cared for by his son-in-law (husband of Charlotte) until he died at the age of eighty-four in 1861.

The Church of St. Mary and All Saints was dedicated in the year 1234 as the largest church in Derbyshire. Causes for its famous "Crooked Spire" vary from blaming the Devil to lightning strikes. One "expert" even blamed the weight of the bell ringing over the years. The truth is a little harder to find, but perhaps the lead tiles covering the wooden Spire weighing 32 tons may be a contributing factor. The church was built on top of an old Roman site which in turn was built over an ancient Iron Age fort.
