Traditionally used in magic, railroad spikes are perfect for protection, stability, and warding off negative energy. Linked to the Orisha Ogún, the master of war, they’re also associated with gods like Hephaestus and Thor, making them ideal for invoking strength, protection, and control.
Magical Use: Bury a spike at the four corners of your property for powerful protection, ensuring that your space is shielded from harm. Carry one to ground yourself or place it on your altar to keep unwanted energies away. They are also excellent for hex-breaking and reversal spells, where you can use the spike to symbolically "nail down" negative forces, stopping them in their tracks.
