Why should we have an elephant statue at home or in the office? Will the elephant provide us with wealth, new love, a better job?
As with the use of any other Feng Shui symbol, be it deities, flowers or animals, it is necessary to first follow your own intuition, hobbies, set goals. There are no more appropriate rules for decorating a house with specific symbols than one that is governed by what symbols each of us likes and believes in.

Elephant symbolism

The elephant in Feng Shui is a symbol of beauty, quiet strength, majesty and kindness. Even though elephants are the largest living land mammals today, their energy is always kind.
The elephant as a Feng Shui symbol should ensure protection, luck and wisdom. Usually, the elephant is depicted with its trunk pointing upwards, as a symbol of friendship, love and happiness. If the elephant is to serve as a symbol of fertility, it should have its trunk facing downwards. Why exactly? There are several explanations. One of them is that the elephant accumulates energy in this way and that it can push away various obstacles.
The elephant is also considered a symbol of wisdom and knowledge . It is one of the sacred animals in Buddhism and often depicted in Indian mythology. It can be used as a talisman for all who study and want to know.
Due to its strength, the elephant is a symbol of protection and stability and can be used at the entrance to a house or office as a protective element.
The elephant as a protector of love and marriage should stand in the bedroom in the form of a statuette.
