Did you know that there are many legends about doors and thresholds? Doors are associated with beginnings and endings, but also with certain superstitions. That's why, for example, brides are carried over the threshold when they enter their new home, ribbons are cut on the door of a new business, and people knock on doors before entering. Years ago, I read a story about crossing thresholds and how your spirit can become trapped in certain spaces. Scary! Hahaha. Anyway, beautiful doors, and I hope your spirit hasn't been trapped or that you haven't set other spirits free. Hahaha. A hug full of Indian witchiness.

hehe and here in Scotland we have first footing at New Year. We open a window to let the old year out and the front door to let the new year in. Then you first foot someone. When you go to their house you bring whisky coal and food as you walk over the threshold, you put the first foot of the year over the threshold for luck. If it was a tall dark handsome man it was considered lucky. Here that meant brown hair. So I would get asked by neighbours to first foot them for luck! Now no trapping spirits but bring those Indian witchy hugs on!
