Swallows in the House: An Omen of Good Fortune

Swallows in the House

According to ancient beliefs, swallows entering a house signify the beginning of good omens and luck. In the culture and folklore of our ancestors, swallows are referred to as “mythical birds” or “celestial maidens,” and their presence is seen as a sign of a prosperous and harmonious family.

In ancient times, some people noticed that swallows tended to build their nests in the houses of the wealthy, hence the saying, “Where swallows build their nests, the inhabitants will become immensely rich and honorable.” Thus, having swallows fly into your house is believed to bring good fortune and prosperity.

Bees in the House

Bees are considered to bring an abundance of positive energy. The presence of a beehive in a house signifies an increase in the family’s yang energy and foretells good fortune in terms of wealth. As bees primarily feed on flower pollen and produce valuable honey, they are highly regarded in feng shui as symbols of purity.

In Chinese, the word for “bee” (feng) sounds similar to the “feng” in “phoenix,” further emphasizing good luck and auspiciousness. Bees making a hive in the house is also a harbinger of blossoming love and happiness, possibly indicating the arrival of a new family member.

Bats in the House

In feng shui, bats symbolize luck and safety, attracting harmony, happiness, and good fortune. The word for “bat” in Chinese sounds similar to the word for “fortune,” so having a bat colony in your home is considered a blessing. Bat motifs are commonly used in feng shui items, with one bat representing luck, two bats signifying blessings and luck, and five bats representing the “five blessings” (wealth, health, longevity, virtue, and a peaceful death).

Thus, it is believed that having bats in your home brings the blessings of the God of Wealth, and they should be welcomed rather than chased away.
