Talisman elephant in Feng Shui
The elephant in science Feng Shui is considered one of the most favorable animals. The symbol of the elephant represents reliability and stability. So, experts in feng shui say that an elephant can draw prosperity through the long trunk to the house where it is placed.
As a rule, the elephant's mascot is placed on the windowsill. In this case, its trunk should be directed to the street. Then he will like to draw luck into your house. However, the elephant can be put and so that its trunk looked inside the house. In this case it is quite logical to assume that your house has already been visited by luck.
By the way, the elephant figurine perfectly neutralizes the unfavorable energy created by the corners in the room.
In principle, the elephant figure can be placed in any corner of the apartment. But ideally the elephant should be in the north-western or southeastern blocks of the house. It is in this situation that he will provide powerful support to the head of the family, to attract a patron to the house.
If you decide to put a figurine of an elephant at home, you must first determine the material from which it will be executed. It can be a bone, a ceramics, and also bronze. A soft talisman can be soft toys and rubber elephants.
Activate the mascot
The elephant is one of the most powerful talismans of feng shui, practically not requiring additional activation. But still cajole it, thereby increasing the strength, you can. For example, an elephant is very fond of various ornaments. Therefore, do not be too lazy to decorate his figure with beads. If possible, hang a silver or even a gold chain around the neck of an elephant. In the event that you are limited to the picture of an elephant, decorate it with rosary beads (as a material suitable for cypress, amber, sandalwood). But in any case, do not "give" an elephant ornaments made of ivory. The talisman simply can lose his temper by seeing what was done to his relatives, and in a fury will begin to take revenge both to you personally and to everyone who lives in the house.
The Legend of the Elephant
The elephant in the East has long been considered a symbol of longevity and special moderation. This is understandable. In the wild, an elephant lives from seventy to a hundred years. Indian elephants live a little less - about sixty years. Moreover, as scientists say, elephants do not die of old age. The cause of their death is hunger. The old elephant loses its teeth, and it just does not have anything to chew on food.
If we talk about Chinese art, then the elephant there does not appear so often. Nevertheless, it means a lot to the Chinese, because always an elephant means strength and wisdom.
Buddhists consider the elephant a sacred animal and the main treasure. For example, stone elephants guarding the tombstones of the Ming Dynasty are worshiped by childless women. They ask the elephants to help them have a baby.
During the Greco-Roman Empire, elephants were the emblem of wisdom. It was believed that they belong to the planet of Mercury. Thus, the Roman writer and philosopher Pliny wrote that an elephant is a religious animal, worshiping both the stars and the Sun. It was believed that during the new moon elephants come to the river and bathe. At this time they talk with the heavens and purify the soul.
The ancient Romans associated the elephant with victory, longevity and good health. It was a kind of symbol of defeated death.
Several centuries later, the Roman idea of elephants was adopted by Christians. Since then, the elephant has become a symbol of Jesus' victory over death.
The medieval Europe of an elephant (and at the same time a unicorn) considered a fictitious animal, which can only be found in fairy tales. Look closely at the paintings made during the Middle Ages. You will see that elephants exist only in those pictures on which paradise is depicted. A little later, when the crusades began, the image of the elephant appeared on the arms. As for the present days, the elephant occupies an honorable place in psychology. This is the embodiment of kindness, wisdom.
Tips for Feng Shui Specialists
Once a man came to the master of Feng Shui. He complained that his wife was too extravagant. For this reason, they have not been able to save for many years on really necessary things in the house, but very expensive things. Then the master recommended him to buy the elephant's mascot. The spouse liked the gift. She admired the statuette and talked with her. As a result, her character changed for the better. It has become more stable. The woman stopped spending money to the right and left. On the contrary, she asked her husband to save money. The husband was delighted with this proposal, and since then quarrels in their family have stopped.
What do the seven elephants mean?
One elephant is good. But the seven elephants have a much greater power and magical meaning. Why seven - you ask? After all, you can probably settle for two elephants.

From the school bench, we know that there are seven planets that can be seen without a telescope. These planets, no matter how many centuries have passed, do not change their trajectory.

So, if you invite seven small elephants to your house, they will bring you happiness, love, prosperity, luck and health.
