The Three Legged Toad
The three legged toad in feng shui is believed to possess mystical abilities that could bring prosperity into our lives. Ancient folklore stated that at full moon it will appear at the front of a person’s house and bring forth good news.
Also known as Chan Chu, it is represented as a frog with a coin in its mouth squatting on top of coins and gold bars. At its lips can also be found a red string with coins attached. Seven connected dots can be seen on its back, which is a symbol of the Ursa Major constellation.
In Chinese mythology, the three legged toad is often seen together with Liu Hai, the Daoist god of wealth and prosperity. It is Liu Hai’ favorite and they are good friends. Both travel to many places and Liu Hai bribes the toad with a gold coin to come out of a well. That is therefore their history.
Another version of the story is that the toad was actually heartless. Until one time, Buddha took control of the toad and forced it to contribute to society. To show how sorry it has been, it spews out coins from its mouth.
The connection of the toad with riches is therefore clear. It has become a famous ornament that could attract prosperity. Not only that, it is supposed that it can prevent bad luck related to money from crossing your path. It will stop you from buying too much or lower the risks of money squandering that is not your fault.
You can get your three legged toad by buying online and it comes in multiple sizes and colors. After getting a toad, the next step would be looking for a fine location to display it. First would be in your living room or den or place it in a corner diagonally opposite to the main door.
More than one toad is also possible. Close to the main entrance, one figurine should face inward to safeguard wealth and the other should face outward to attract more wealth. Three or more bring better benefits. You can place up to nine three legged toads in your property. Evenly spread out the toads at different areas in your dining and living room and garden.
A salesman should place the figurine on top of his desk. If you own a business, situate the three legged toad near the cash register but facing away from it. Do not put the three legged toad in the bathroom, kitchen, or bedroom since it will be useless in those locations.
Is it possible to be very spiritual and be atheist?
I don't believe in any gods or afterlife yet I'm a spiritual person, in tune with nature.
I find it relaxing to burn fragrance oils, have lighted candles, listen to spiritual music and watch relaxing dvds such as virtual seashore/aquarium. I also own a buddha figurine and framed print.
I just find those things peaceful and relaxing. Especially in the evenings/nights. It really helps me unwind.
Yes you have got it perfectly right. Of course there is no such thing as after life, or before life for that matter.
There could well be other beings in forms we are ignorant of and I do not mean aliens from other planets, though there may be there too. They do not constitute 'gods'.
The ancients (whilst they had their myths of course) practised a love of nature. Some never killed off a plant if they could use part of it and let the rest grow on.
They used plants as cures (we have forgotten how) Christianity did a lot of harm by calling the wise women who knew how to do this witches.
I too prefer to sit and admire a view than sit in a stuffy church listening to some idiot rant on and listen to hymns. If it is raining I would rather clean the house to give me time on a good day to go out at be at one with nature.
I do not share your love of candles, I would worry too much they would fall over and burn something and fragrant oils are not my scene. They are yours and that is right for you.
We need to be able to accept that there are things we do not understand, there is no known answer and may never be.
Enjoy your life 00
