Vintage Handmade Imperator Caesar Hadrian Skeleton Key 6.2" Solid Brass

Keys have always been endowed with a certain sort of magic. They have the power to reveal things that were unknown or obscured before. Even the word “key” means a tool that opens physical, intellectual, or spiritual barriers. A key can give access to riches and treasure, or it might keep safe closely guarded secrets, as in the legend of Pandora’s Box. 

Here is some ancient key folklore, for Halloween fun: 
• Keys should never be put on a the table, as it leads to chaos and disagreement in the house. 
• Keys in the bed can help a woman in the process of childbirth. 
• Keys in the shape of crosses help cure boils. 
• Church keys usually weighty keys with a cross on the bit or bow are particularly powerful, able to cure whooping cough and calm unruly children
