Iron has an important role in folklore.

Europe change

Cold Iron means weapons. Later, it came to mean horseshoes & fences.

  • If you put an iron fence around a cemetery, the ghosts can’t leave the cemetery.
  • If you put a knife under your doormat, witches can’t enter.

Tibet change

In Tibet, iron from meteors is precious. Tibetan gods used weapons made from meteoric iron. Because Tibet is so high, Tibet had many meteors fall.
