THE MULTI-PURPOSE WU LOU


The Wu Lou or the Gourd is a very handy feng shui item to have. It can act as a cure as well as a an activator. The small mouth of the wu lou and the big body has the magical powers to contain ill luck in the form of mishaps and illnesses. The Wu Lou is usually hung for greater effect. Shopowners who believe in the potency of Feng Shui iwould hang it by the door of their shops as it can help to create a harmonious environment and also help to usher in wealth luck.

Some of the Taoist deities make use of the Wu Lou to do battle with demons and evil spirits. Also it was used as a vessel to hold water and wine in olden times. It is a Chinese belief that medicine stored in a gourd would help boost ones state of health.

Some Feng Shui masters suggest wearing a small black coloured Wu Lou (Obsidian is one option) around the neck to absord the negative qi from a person who is experiencing very bad luck. It is also said that those in conflict with Tai Sui could wear a Wu Lou to help improve ones luck and wellbeing. The humble Wu Lou is also worn for self-protection against sickness, negative qi, ghosts and evil spirits. Placing the gourd in the office also helps to maintain peace and harmony in the workplace. Yeah, it also supposed to help the wearer live a longer life.

So, what are you waiting for? Go get a Wu Lou now.
