Is the main point of entry to your home and it is particularly important in keeping out bad elements, spiritual or human. If you choose to hang a horseshoe above your entrance way, make sure to hang it with points facing upwards to stop the luck from running out. A horseshoe hung in your bedroom is said to keep nightmares away.
Did you realize that it is unlucky to enter your house for the first time by using the back door? This entrance is not protected against evil spirits. Also, encourage your visitors to leave by the same door they came in to avoid taking your luck with them.
The opening of a door of its own accord indicates that a visitor is on the way, whilst a slamming door may damage the spirit of your house and should be avoided.
Leave a door open when a child is being born or someone is dying, so that the entry or exit may take place without hindrance.
The Romans would leave a servant on duty to stop someone entering the home left foot first(the forerunner of the modern footman) as it was bad luck.
In Ireland, it's said that if one magpie comes chattering at your door it's a sign of death, but if two come chattering it's a sign of prosperity.
Lastly, beware of sweeping trash out your door after dark, as it will bring a stranger to visit.
