How to attract good luck spiritually at home

In traditional Chinese culture, the culture of the Book of Changes, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism describe some bad things as evil.  In cultural handicrafts, many have beautiful meanings, while some have no meaning other than being a protective charm against evil.

1. Peach wood bracelet

In many films and TV series about fighting monsters and demons, we see Taoist priests holding peach wood swords to subdue various monsters.  This is because in the "Book of Mountains and Seas", there is a reference to the knowledge of peach wood, which is said to be the most yang wood, and monsters are afraid of it. It can also ward off evil, so peach wood is also known as fairy wood.  Later, many people will make peach wood into hand rings to wear.

2. Calabash bracelet

The homophonic of gourd is "Fu Lu", so in the cultural and recreational circle, gourd is the symbol of good fortune and wealth.  However, in the feng shui study of Guo Wei, gourd can absorb the qi of the weather, including the evil qi.  In the cultural and recreational circle, gourd also has the meaning of absorbing and preventing evil. From the culture of Yi Jing, we can also understand the role of gourd in warding off evil.  For example, the S-shaped line of gourd is also very similar to the shape of yin and yang fish in Taoism, which has the meaning of eliminating disaster and solving problems, absorbing and preventing evil.

3. Silver accessories bracelet

Silver is one of the seven Buddhist treasures.  In the folk belief, silver can ward off evil and even absorb it. However, modern scientific research has shown that silver can release a magnetic field of silver ions that affect the human body.  Therefore, in many old customs, we can see that many newborn babies are wearing silver locks and other items to ward off evil.

4. Obsidian bracelet

Obsidian is a very hard hand-woven string, which is said to absorb negative energy and have the effect of absorbing and resolving evil.  In traditional Chinese culture, obsidian has the function of exorcism, and even in Western culture, it has the function of purifying evil. In ancient Buddhist culture, obsidian has the function of stabilizing and calming.  In India, obsidian is known as Apache tears, also known as forget-me-not stones, which shows the function of obsidian hand-woven strings.

5. Cinnabar bracelet

Speaking of cinnabar, I believe everyone is familiar with it. Many Taoist priests use cinnabar to draw various spells when catching evil spirits. Therefore, in Taoist culture, cinnabar has the function of avoiding evil.  In ancient times, many Taoist priests also used cinnabar to refine pills with medicinal value.  Many people say that cinnabar is toxic, but in fact, as long as it does not turn into gaseous mercury above 200 degrees, it will not affect the human body.
