In feng shui terms, the most powerful guardian for the entrance to your dwelling is a pair of dragons. However, those may not always be easy to find, and they may not go with the design of your doorway.
Other door guardians include lions and fu dogs. Fu dogs are even less readily available, and they often do not harmonize with Western architecture and decorating styles. Luckily for us, there is a long Western tradition of lions as entrance guardians. So lions are readily available.
Grand public buildings, such as libraries, palaces, museums and government buildings in Europe and the Americas have long featured pairs of huge lions flanking the entrance. For ordinary residences, there is a long tradition of the lion door knocker.
So you can have a doorway guardian that does not attract unwanted attention or criticism even in the most conservative of neighborhoods: a lion’s head door knocker. (You can find a beautifully antiqued lion’s head door knocker at the Mailboxes and Beyond website.)
While you are at it, you can find matching house address plaques, address signs, mailboxes, and other accessories to create a harmonious look. You can even find attractive, inconspicuous, solar-powered lights for safety and convenience (both of which are good feng shui).
You may not have thought of a door knocker, a decorative address plaque or even plain, simple house address plaques as feng shui remedies, but creativity is really the only limitation on feng shui practices.
