One of my favorite Feng Shui knickknacks is the dragon headed turtle. This auspicious statue is a hybrid of two lucky Chinese animals – it has the body of a turtle and the head of a dragon. It is sold as a brass, aluminum, ceramic, red lacquer or glass sculpture. You can also find them carved out of semi-precious stones such as rose quartz or jade. The better quality ones also feature a magic square marked with numbers engraved on the tortoise shell.

 

 This is such a powerful symbol of luck, love, wealth, protection and longevity that it is ideal to place in the center of your house which also metaphorically represents the center of the body and the self. However it is also considered to be an amplifier of good fortune that enhances the sector in which it is place.

  

Unlike the money frog, which has a coin placed in its mouth the dragon headed turtle features a ribbon. To attract love, you place a piece of red ribbon in its mouth and plaice it in the southwestern sector. For health, you place a blue ribbon in its mouth and place it in the center of your home. To attract money you place it in the southeastern corner and place a gold piece of ribbon in its mouth.

  

However it is considered bad luck to have a dragon headed turtle in your bathroom or kitchen. 

  

Peace Be Still Sam.
