Steel, or iron, is powerful magic. In Sussex it's used for the threshold to stop witches entering. The iron of the horseshoe does the same thing. Kipling used it in Rewards and Fairies.

The leeches would need to be a lot bigger to tie bells like that round their necks. #TheFilmCrowd

Stocks? May as well pat them on the head and say "well done". In the good old days people were turned to stone for dancing on a Sunday. #TheFilmCrowd

The Unknown Warrior was buried in Westminster Abbey #onthisday in 1920, representing the many thousands who had died on the battlegrounds of the First World War.
His funeral in the Abbey was attended by King George V; the Prime Minister, David Lloyd George; government, military and diplomatic representatives; and nearly a thousand widows and mothers of those killed in the war.
It was a moment of great national commemoration, with the Unknown Warrior representing all those lost on the battlefields who had no other memorial or known grave.
You can read more about the Warrior and the remarkable story of his burial in the Abbey at: westminster-abbey.org/histor…
ALT A black and white photo of a solemn scene inside a cathedral. A wooden coffin, adorned with metal handles, rests on an ornate cloth draped over a platform. The cloth features intricate designs of crowns and other heraldic symbols. In the blurred background, tall pillars and indistinct figures add to the somber atmosphere.

The Armistice that ended the Great War was signed at 5am on this day in 1918. The location was Foch's railway carriage in the forest of Compiegne. The Prime Minister Lloyd George wanted it to come into force at 2.30pm that day so that he could announce it to the House of Commons.
Dennis Wheatley, author, died this day 1977. #OTD #OnThisDay I think I'll give "The Devil Rides Out" a watch after dinner.
