Rust consists of Hydrous Iron (III) Oxides (Fe2O3·nH2O) and Iron (III) Oxide-Hydroxide (FeO(OH), Fe(OH)3), and is typically associated with the corrosion of refined Iron. Rust is the general name for a complex of oxides and hydroxides of Iron, which occur when Iron or some alloys that contain Iron are exposed to Oxygen and moisture for a long period of time. If salt is present, Iron tends to rust more quickly. Other degrading solutions are Sulfur Dioxide in water and Carbon Dioxide in water. Under these corrosive conditions, Iron Hydroxide species are formed. Rust is used as a pigment for earthy paint colors. It is one of the oldest pigments used by every major civilization. The powder is used to polish surfaces and jewelry to a fine finish. It has even historically been used to create “rouge” cosmetics. Mystical Attributes:  Iron is a sacred metal that represents the element of Earth. It possesses strong spiritual energy. Many use Iron candle holders and Iron burning bowls. Iron ritual tools are a powerful ally when doing any defensive or war work. Many people wear Iron pendants as a protective talisman. Iron is historically believed to repel, contain, or harm ghosts, fairies, and other malevolent supernatural creatures. Nailing an Iron horseshoe to a door is said to repel evil spirits or, later, to bring good luck. Surrounding a cemetery with an Iron fence is thought to contain the souls of the dead. Burying an Iron knife under the entrance to one’s home is alleged to keep evil from entering. If an Iron horseshoe is hung on a door with the two ends pointing up, then good luck will occur. However, if the two ends point downwards, then bad luck will occur. The good or bad luck achieved will only occur to the owner of the horseshoe, not the person who hangs it up. Iron has been used to make amulets to protect against danger, bad luck and the Evil Eye, as well as against demons and spirits. Ancient Egyptians inserted Iron amulets in the linen wrappings of a mummy in order to invoke the protection of the Eye of Horus. Iron is the warrior’s metal. It is associated with the planet Mars, as well as the deity by that name. Iron oxide (rust) is what gives the planet Mars its characteristic red appearance. Mars is the god of war, and so Iron is an almost archetypical representation of the warrior, of power, and of courage. Iron has long been used for forging tools and weapons. Iron rust is used for either defense or attack. Iron rust is used to block windows and doors from malevolent spirits entering your house. It is sometimes mixed with other dusts, salts and powders to make banishing and protective blends. Red Iron Rust powder has been used in love attraction spells.
