The myth of the elephant
In the East, the elephant was and remains a symbol of longevity and moderation, for the elephant lives from 70 to 100 years, the life expectancy of Indian elephants is slightly less - 60 years. And elephants die not from old age, but from hunger, because in old age an elephant loses all its teeth and has nothing to chew food with.
The elephant is not often seen in Chinese art, however, for the Chinese it symbolizes strength, indestructibility and wisdom.
In Buddhism, the elephant is a sacred animal and is considered one of the seven treasures of this faith. Thus, the stone elephants that guard the tombs of the Ming Dynasty are the object of worship of childless women. Women come to these elephants, who guard the path to the tombs, and pray to them for the birth of a child.
In the Greco-Roman Empire, the elephant is an emblem of wisdom and belongs to the planet Mercury. The Roman writer Pliny believed that the elephant was a religious animal that worshiped the stars and the Sun. On the new moon, the elephant bathes in the river and calls out to Heaven, thus the elephant purifies its soul.
But in the minds of the ancient Romans, the elephant was associated with victory, glory, longevity and health. He was a symbol of victory over death.
Later, these ideas of the ancient Romans were passed on to Christians. Now in Christian traditions, the elephant has become a symbol of the victory of Jesus Christ over evil and death.
In Europe in the Middle Ages, the elephant, like the unicorn, was considered a fabulous animal that is found only in myths and fairy tales. If you look at paintings made in the Middle Ages, you will notice that the elephant is present only in paintings depicting the thickets of paradise. And already during the Crusades, elephants were depicted on coats of arms. In psychology, the elephant is the embodiment of power, kindness and wisdom.
Stories from Feng Shui masters about the elephant talisman
Once a man came to one of the Feng Shui masters and complained that his wife was wasteful with money. Because of this, they could not save money for necessary but expensive things. A Feng Shui master recommended that he buy an elephant talisman. When the man brought this talisman into the house, his wife really liked this figurine; she admired the elephant for a long time and took it in her hands, even talking to it. Gradually, the elephant influenced her with its stable and resilient character. Since then, she stopped throwing money away and their family had extra money. The husband stopped arguing with her - harmony in the house was restored.
According to feng shui
In the Celestial Empire, special attention is paid to amulets. In Chinese mythology, figurines of animals and gods attract success in business to the house, and also have a positive effect on all other areas of life. This animal is one of such talismans in Feng Shui.
The image can be found on coins, attributes of religion and symbols of power. But what does it mean in Feng Shui?
Symbol of peace and harmony
A figurine in the form of an elephant is considered a powerful talisman that can attract positive Qi energy into the home. It means:
- world;
- wisdom;
- confidence;
- kindness;
- harmony.
The main task of this amulet is to protect the house from damage, the evil eye and other troubles. At the same time, it creates an atmosphere of peace and balance.
The version with a raised proboscis symbolizes prosperity and wealth in Feng Shui. The owner will be protected from theft and thoughtless spending. He will begin to take finances seriously and look soberly at the surrounding reality.
Something is often hung on the raised trunk, as if to enhance efficiency. But this cannot be done. After all, it is he who is the conductor of Qi energy. By hanging a trinket there, the owner shows his disrespect for the magical attribute.
If the long nose is down, this does not mean that a streak of failure will begin. His situation is not an indicator of impending financial troubles. On the contrary, it is a symbol of fertility and abundance. This is how the amulet removes all negative energy from the house. It is recommended to have two figurines in your home with different positions of the trunk: one will protect against negativity, and the second will attract luck and prosperity.
There are also the following variations to choose from:
- To strengthen family ties, you need to purchase a white figurine.
- Three elephants symbolize the unity of heaven, earth and man. This talisman helps in acquiring good luck and harmony in all areas of life.
Talisman – seven elephants
A set of seven elephants has even greater power and magical significance as a talisman. But you will probably ask yourself: why exactly seven elephants and what magical meaning does this talisman have?
The fact is that the number seven is very often found not only in magical books and teachings, but also in everyday life. For example, in ancient times seven metals were known: mercury, gold, silver, copper, lead, tin and iron. Seven planets that we know from school and that can be seen with the naked eye - Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Moon, Sun, Mercury. These planets have always been and remain at the same distance from each other and spin in the same orbit - it was from these planets that the concept of constant harmony in the Universe came. And that is why the number seven became magical. There is also the concept of the seven Chinese gods of luck - Daikoku, Fukurokuju Ebisu, Bishamon, Hotei Benzai, Jurojin. You can endlessly give examples where the number seven appears, therefore, if seven elephants settle in your house, then your house will always be full of happiness, love, prosperity, good luck, mutual understanding and health. But no matter what elephant talisman you choose, remember that the main thing is your sympathy and faith in the elephant talisman.
