Ru Yi is the Chinese equivalent of a magic wand. According to the Chinese, having this wand in your home will help any of your dreams and wishes come true, even the most daring ones. Since ancient times, this scepter is also considered to be a symbol of huge sexual power. It also is considered to be a symbol of unquestionable authority.
The Ru Yi usually takes the form of a magic Lingzhi mushroom - the Chinese mushroom of immortality. This scepter can bring prosperity and health to your home, and its mere presence in a home is a happy sign for the entire family. The scepter placed in any home will bring happiness to all who live there, as it will bring home all kinds of energies for making happiness complete.
This charm can be placed anywhere in your home or office, depending on the energy that you want to activate with its use. If you want to promote health and familial relationships, put it in the Health and Family area (east). If you want to gain wealth, put it in the Wealth and Prosperity area (southeast). For safe travel or support from influential people and mentors, put it in the Helpful People and Travel area (northwest).
The other sectors that you may want to activate are: Fame and Reputation (south), Career (north), Love and Marriage (southwest), Creativity and Children (west), and Knowledge and Self-Cultivation (northeast).
This amulet can also be purchased together with other Chinese symbols, such as the Golden Budai (also known as Hotei, Laughing Buddha or Fat Buddha). The Budai is one of the seven gods of happiness. It is the god of wealth, prosperity and happiness. It is believed that Hotei helps to make the deepest wishes come true. The belief has it that if you rub the belly of the Budai three hundred times thinking of something good, then your thought will definitely come true.
The image of Hotei is associated with a specific person that lived in China at the end of the 10th century - a little round monk named Qi-Qi, who went from village to village with a large canvas bag and beads. Legend has it that wherever he appeared - good luck and health came to the people. If someone asked, what is in the bag, he replied: "The whole world is in there."
Since ancient times, Budai is a god of home in China. His presence in the house brings prosperity, understanding, contentment and carefree life for everyone in the family. It is no coincidence that Hotei is considered to be the embodiment of happiness.
The Ru Yi scepter (whether together with a laughing Hotei or separately) is a wonderful gift. It is a universal symbol, so you can purchase it for yourself or as a gift for someone. It is usually given to a person that you want happiness for.
The Magical Ru Yi Scepter Makes Dreams Come True
The Magical Chinese Unicorn Chi Lin
According to legends, it is one of 9 sons of a dragon, which can distinguish between good and evil. It is sometimes included in the list of four noble animals, along with the Chinese dragon, phoenix and tortoise - instead of the tiger.
As a rule this animal is depicted having a few horns, green and blue scaly skin, hooves of a deer, the head of a dragon and a bear's tail. In some aspects it resembles Western unicorns. Like the European unicorn, Chi Lin symbolizes longevity and prosperity. It is believed to live for at least 2000 years.
The Chinese believe that it is always lonely, and appears only during the reign of an outstanding ruler or when a great sage is born or dies; for instance, it was seen shortly before the birth and death of Confucius. It can only be seen by the chosen ones. It is considered a harbinger of happiness.
On his back, Qilin may have babies. Legends state that it brings extraordinary children from heaven. Like the stork in the European tradition, in China it brings a long-awaited heir to the happy parents.
It is also mentioned in connection with some important events in the history of China. For instance, five thousand years ago one Chinese emperor was sitting on the shore near the Yellow River, when he saw Qi Lin. The dirty water of the river turned crystal clear green. Chi Lin stood before the emperor, stomped on a rock three times, and spoke to the emperor in a voice similar to a temple bell. When Qilin turned to leave, the emperor saw magic signs on his back, and copied them. According to legends, this is how the first written language appeared in China.
The mention of this mythical animal goes back to the days of Confucius. Back then, it had a more peaceful appearance. When walking, it did not cause any harm even to insects (like the image of the Lamb in Christian mythology). When stepping on the grass it did not crush it. It fed on magic grasses. It could walk on water and fly. Carved on gravestones, it would protect from evil spirits, as well as accompany the dead to heaven. However, over time it changed its appearance and symbolism - once a symbol of peace and gentleness, it also acquired the features of power and strength.
In Feng Shui, Qi Lin symbolizes long life, celebration, magnificence, joy, wisdom, and famous children. It is a gentle, kind, and benevolent creature. It carries a mystical good omen. This feng shui talisman is believed to help facilitate the success of children. Chi Lin's images or statues can help women who wish to have a child. The main function of this talisman in feng shui is the elimination of negativity, and to attract wealth.
If you want to place this talisman in your home, remember that this charm should face toward the exit. You don't need to activate it; however, it "likes" to listen to folk songs and fairy tales, and this is supposed to make it work harder for its owners.
