Brass incence burner with the 2 lion heads

[sun888_99]

Dear cecil,
I have a brass incense burner with 2 lion head with mouth open attached to it. Will this be considered bad to keep in the house.(since I read on the forum that one should not keep lion or tigers especially with mouth open in the house. Thanks.

Dear Anon,
Let me explain:
Usually the main concern is the main entrance door or a window.
A good example is Evelyn Lip's story in one of her books Geomancy. She wrote that the owners of a house faced calamity and even a FS Master could not find the problem.
Only at a later stage where the Master stood at the door and looked out (during low tide) and saw a profile or figurine that looks like a toad or frog with its mouth opened facing the house.
Here, he placed some objects to symbolically represent flies to mean that the mouth is full.
From what we can learn here is to avoid letting objects with open mouth e.g. face the main door if we can. It is better to take the precaution even if it is facing outwards of the house.
Other than this, one can still place open mouth objects but just becareful. If one finds problems after that, quickly remove the `offending' object. Thus it is borne out of precaution than anything else.
For some of us who feel that this may be more of a belief, do not heed this message.
We have to monitor this as few people place open mouth objects and thus not sure how effective or bad it is.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
