Single Iron Nail

 Single Iron Nail

Iron Nails have long been a tradition in Europe for protection from Evil and Supernatural entities. Iron was said to be a great protection against the Fey of both the Seelie and Unseelie courts. Throughout history up to modern day, Graveyards were ringed in Iron to keep the spirits contained and protect the living.  The roots of this belief in the protection properties goes back into the dawn of the Iron age itself. Iron Nails can be a powerful protective tool, but as with all tools, they get their power from a higher being.

This nail can be used in a variety of ways depending on your needs.    You can use the nail as a keepsake to aid in the protection of your home from Evil or malicious entities.
