The White Tiger is a protective talisman for your home, strong, but not unambiguous. And how to use it to get benefits, let's figure it out.
Legends of the Tiger.
In the Chinese epic, there are many tales and legends about the noble animal, the Tiger, because... This is quite a heroic and powerful creature. Here is one of such myths. One young woman gave birth to a child (illegitimate), but bearing the shame, she left him in the forest. There a young tigress found him, saved him and fed the child with her breast milk. When the boy grew up, he returned to the people, and thanks to his intelligence, became very famous - the prime minister of his country. According to another myth, Confucius (the philosopher) was also saved by this noble animal. Confucius was born with the appearance of a freak, so much so that the parents, in horror, took the baby to the top of the cliff to die. But the boy was again saved by the tigress, thanks to her, the world saw the smartest and greatest man.
Safety precautions for using the Tiger talisman.
1) If people live in your apartment or house (according to the eastern calendar) born in the year of the Boar, Rabbit or any other animal (which can represent food, food for a predator), then it is better to have a talisman like the White Tiger at home Do not place it indoors at all.
2) Since such a talisman as the White Tiger has enormous power, it is best to have a small figurine or even a figurine of a tiger cub (you can even sleep) in your apartment.
3) Since the Tiger is a rather ferocious and strong animal, this talisman should be used with caution, since if this creature does not like the way you treat it, it may harm rather than protect.
4) The tiger is perhaps almost the only talisman that does not need activation. On the contrary, due to its enormous strength and power, it is better to keep it in check (i.e. control). And to balance the strong energy of the White Tiger, a Dragon figurine is perfect. True, when placing talismans, place the Dragon a little lower than the White Tiger stands, then it will (necessarily!) protect you (and your home and household members, of course) from any aggression, negative energies and influences directed at you from the outside.

* But mainly Tigers are used as talismans to protect premises and homes. And also, he (Tiger) is considered an unusually wonderful symbol of success, good luck, happiness, security and prosperity. And with the onset of each New Year, Chinese residents always attach images of a wonderful and beneficial animal above the doors of their homes: this is to protect all household members, relatives and home, and of course for peace of mind for the whole next year. The most common painting in China is “White Tiger Guarding the House.”

Be sure to install a talisman (White Tiger) at home and no negative influence from the outside will disturb you.
In China, the Tiger talisman symbolizes warrior valor and courage, and its image is used in the fight against evil spirits and demons. The white talisman of the Tiger (Bai-hu) refers to the guardians of the West. Its coloring is due to the fact that in China white means mourning, and its relationship to the West is due to the fact that this side of the world symbolizes the afterlife or the land of the dead.
When using this talisman you need to be very careful, since it is still a ferocious and furious animal. And if the Tiger is mistreated, he may well direct his anger at the happy owners of such a talisman or the inhabitants of the house.
The Tiger talisman should not be used in those families where there is at least one person born in the year of the rabbit, rooster, wild boar or any other animal that the white Tiger can perceive as excellent food.
If we talk about the powerful and ferocious Tiger, then it is better to select a special talisman. But sometimes all this power of the white beast is not necessary, so for the house it is better to buy an amulet that represents a sleeping tiger or a small cub, for which you should set aside a place in the west in the immediate vicinity of the front door.
According to Feng Shui, metal must be used to make this talisman. But at the same time, there is also a stone, wooden or glass Tiger amulet. If it is not possible to purchase one of them, then a plush toy will do just fine. In addition, a figurine of a cat, for example, made of ceramics and, of course, white, can also represent the Tiger. If we talk about color, then along with white color, it can also be yellow, gold, beige or silver.
There is no need to activate the Tiger talisman. This is due to the fact that it begins to work on its own. The peculiarity of the Tiger is that it needs to be controlled, held and balanced in order for this talisman to serve as protection against manifestations of aggression from the outside, which is directed at you. So, you can purchase a Dragon talisman that will “calm” the Tiger. At the same time, place it so that it is higher than the Tiger.
The Tiger is quite popular in Chinese art. His images appear in almost all types of creativity. Sculptures of the Tiger are also created or its silhouette is embroidered. For example, a common phenomenon that occurs in China is a painting depicting a Tiger guarding a house.
This talisman acts as a protector, symbolizing good luck. Thus, it is customary for the Chinese to place an image of a white Tiger above the door at the beginning of each new year. They do this so that he protects the family and maintains peace in the house throughout the year.
The Chinese also use many other talismans. For example, a tiger's head made of fabric, which is hung on the gate. Or a Tiger made of paper, which is mounted on the window. Among other things, the image of the Tiger can be embroidered on pillows, blankets, etc.
In this article you will learn:
In Feng Shui philosophy, there are several animals that represent the most powerful energy. There are only 4 of them. These animals include the tiger - a symbol of power and protection in Feng Shui.
The meaning of the talisman according to Feng Shui
Green tiger symbolizes Yin. Although it is feminine, representing weakness and submission, the tiger, like a predatory animal, has strength and courage. It is designed to protect the owner from failures and misfortunes, to protect from unkind people.
In the ancients Chinese sources this animal is represented as the protector of the home. He protects the home from fires and robbery, drives away evil demons that bring discord and misfortune to the family.
Talisman power
The tiger is a powerful talisman. He approaches his tasks with great vitality and interest. He has a lot of ideas and enthusiasm, he does not give in to difficulties. The amulet conveys these qualities to a person. The beast also gives its owner courage and inner strength, which helps him fight enemies.
The beast can be presented in the form of a figurine, statuette or decoration.
The talisman can be made from any materials, but the most powerful are:
- metal;
- porcelain;
- glass;
- tree.
Other objects in the form of this animal, even plush toys, are also endowed with positive energy. The figurine can be replaced by an image of a predatory animal. The Chinese love to hang pictures or panels depicting animals in their homes. Interior items are also suitable: a bedspread, pillows, rug, vase, box, etc.
To reveal the energy of the tiger, a figurine or image of it is placed to the right of the front door. This is how his protective powers are revealed. The western side of a house or room is also suitable for an amulet, but the predator should not be placed near the fire. This is a fire sign, so near a source of fire its energy will intensify and become destructive. If you place the figurine in the kitchen, it is better to choose a place near the refrigerator, sink or flower vase with water.
Precautionary measures
Because green wooden tiger is a powerful talisman, then you should not keep too many symbols in the house. And you need to be careful with talismans made of other materials. If, when the beast appears in the house, the situation has become tense, then it is worth placing a dragon figurine in the house. The dragon symbolizes Yang energy and balances the predator. Together they bring harmony and strength to the house. Only the dragon figurine should be located above the tiger so that the masculine principle prevails over the feminine.
It's better to abstain from purchasing and wearing a talisman for women born in the year of the Tiger. Natures born this year have a strong inner core and strong-willed character. The symbolism of the predatory beast enhances these qualities. A woman under the influence of an amulet it's hard to calm down, she becomes aggressive, unrestrained in words and deeds.
White tiger according to feng shui
The strong and brave white tiger is the hero of many feng shui legends and legends in China. One of them talks about old times when a certain lady lived. She gave birth to a baby, but did it illegally, which in those days was a great shame. So she had to throw the baby into the field, but he survived. All because a tigress found him and raised him on her milk. The child grew up and became a famous person - the prime minister of the country.
According to another legend, the white tiger is associated with Confucius. It is believed that the master was born very disgusting. The forefathers could not bear this and decided to leave the baby to die on the mountain. They simply believed that neither they nor anyone else needed him like that. And again the tiger acted as a rescuer, giving life to the child.
Another legend speaks of two brothers. They lived together on the same mountain. At times they fought, and each time the white tiger received “food.” From this legend we can conclude that the white tiger is related to the manifestation of the forces of evil. This is partly true, but only if you treat this animal with a very difficult character incorrectly.
What does Feng Shui say about this?
Talisman of protection - tiger
Chinese art uses the image of the tiger in many ways - it is very popular. There is an unlimited number of images where there is a white tiger that have come down to us from antiquity. To this day, this image is used very often. It is depicted in paintings, transferred to paper, embroidered, sculptures and talismans are made.
At first, the White Tiger is one of the 4 main animals in Feng Shui that surround our house and according to which this house should be built. The most suitable placement of the house is where the white tiger is on the right when facing the house.
The protective function of the tiger image is well known to feng shui masters. It is used as a guardian of home and family, and manifests itself as a sign of good luck. As the New Year begins, a tiger in the form of an image is placed above the door in order to bestow the family with its patronage and protection for the whole next year. This is the only way to live this time relaxingly. In China, the subject of painting “The Tiger Who Guards the House” is very popular.
In addition, the tiger can help in a successful marriage and the birth of children. For example, in the Shankhxi province there is a tradition: when the wife enters the house, she takes two tigers with her. They are made from dough and hung over the newlyweds' bed. In another province, Henan, in the 3rd lunar month of the Chinese calendar, a temple fair is held where feng shui images of the tiger are sold in various variations, made from a variety of materials.
Talisman power
The white tiger spirit is very strong, so you need to use its power carefully. Only in this case will it provide better protection from evil forces. In Feng Shui, the tiger signs are used very often. But only the correct placement and activation of the talisman will make it suitable. To do this you need:
- Placement of the mascot. The ideal place is in the west or to the right of the front door. It must be made of metal, glass, stone or wood. In a simplified way, you can imagine it in the form of a cat, for example, made of white ceramics or in the form of a flowerpot on a western window.
- Activation. There is no special need for activation, because the talisman itself is self-sufficient. But there is one rule. For proper protection of the house, the balance of the tiger’s difficult character can be achieved if a figurine or image of a dragon is placed next to it. With all this, the tiger himself must be lower than the latter.
- Other options. You can also use a tiger head made of fabric. She hangs herself on the gate. Just make a paper image of the animal and hang it on the window as a curtain. Simply depict a tiger on pillows, blankets, shoes and children's toys. You don't have to use a white tiger to tap into its power. You can, for example, paint a gazebo at your summer cottage white or a large stone that resembles a cat. A flowering bush of lilac or viburnum can also act as a “tiger” in the spring.
Principle warning
The white tiger is your protector
As already mentioned, the feng shui tiger is very powerful and at times even a terrible talisman. You can't just use it like that. Before installing the figure, check if there are people in your house who were born in the year of the wild boar, rabbit, rooster and other animals that may represent “food” for the tiger. In this case, using the talisman is strictly prohibited. The warning is very serious, because even mothers of offspring born in these years, according to Chinese belief, must actively resist if their sons want to marry girls born in the year of the tiger. In this case, it is believed that the wife can become a prerequisite for the premature death of her own spouse.
In any case, this talisman is very strong and, if there are no contraindications, can be used to protect the home, ennoble the interior, and make it more saturated with life-giving energy. You can even use it in the form of figurines and small sculptures. And luck will never leave your home, and all things will have a wonderful ending.
Such a figurine brings good luck in new beginnings and risky undertakings, and also feeds energy, stimulates creative processes and protects the inhabitants of the room. The tiger will help to combine realism and the ability to achieve your goal in business. It will give self-confidence to indecisive people, and it will add endurance and fortitude to the leader.
Influence
The tiger figurine influences the connection between generations and helps to understand parents and children. The tiger, a symbol that stretches a thread through time, connects the past with the future. Affects the safety of those in the house and helps to withstand and not lose control in the most difficult life situations. The spirit of the tiger, as it were, accompanies the human owner, helping him outside the home, at work or while traveling.
Varieties of figurines
Location
Located near the front door, the tiger figurine will act as a guard to protect you from negativity penetrating from outside. Also, a figurine with a tiger can be placed near a window overlooking crowded streets, enterprises, pipes, or outbuildings - to neutralize negative energy and turn it into positive.
The tiger is the patron of the western part of the world and the figurine placed in the western part of the apartment or house will have the greatest power. If the eastern part is not available, then the northwest or north will do.
There is no need to place the tiger figurine next to the element of fire, heating devices or red objects. This will make the tiger angry, aggressive, he will sow the energy of discord and quarrels.
Figurine material:
- metal - copper, bronze, silver - adds to the figurine the qualities inherent in this material. Metal increases endurance and entrepreneurial abilities, enhances the ability to think prudently, soberly, logically;
- wood - creates a homely environment and comfort. The energy of the tree, combined with the image of a noble animal, creates a talisman for the home and the basis for peace;
- earth elements - stone, ceramics, porcelain - will enhance the protective properties of the talisman, help neutralize negative energy and help achieve harmony with yourself and others.
A tiger figurine is an energetically strong talisman that demands respect and does not tolerate neglect. People who were born in the year of the rabbit, boar, goat or rooster need to be careful with the tiger talisman. You should choose a small figurine so that the energy of the tiger does not “absorb” them, but, on the contrary, helps them become stronger.
