Garlic is a familiar spice in Vietnamese kitchens, which not only adds flavor to dishes but also is good for health. Especially, in feng shui, garlic is the thing that helps homeowners ward off misfortune, increase positive energy, and bring luck to the door.
In the past, it was believed that if 81 bulbs of garlic were hung in the house symbolizing 81 gods guarding the house, negative energy could not enter the house, and misfortune would be driven away, and homeowners would have smooth sailing in everything they do. In addition, many people have the habit of placing garlic on the altars of the God of Wealth and the Kitchen God.
Why should you place garlic on the altars of the God of Wealth and the Kitchen God
For families involved in trading or companies specializing in business and sales, the altars of the God of Wealth and the Earth God are indispensable. Normally, people place the altars of the God of Wealth and the Earth God on the ground, in the corners of the house, facing the front door to attract luck and welcome prosperity into the house.
In feng shui, placing garlic on the altars helps reduce the power of evil spirits, increase positive energy, and bring luck so that homeowners can have smooth sailing and abundant wealth. Maybe that’s why people often place a plate of garlic or a bunch of fresh garlic on the altars of the God of Wealth and the Earth God.
Notes when arranging the altars of the God of Wealth and the Kitchen God
Direction
Depending on your choice, you can place the altars of the God of Wealth and the Kitchen God according to a direction that is suitable for your destiny or a direction that attracts luck. If the Quy Nhan palace should be in the Southwest direction, the Thien Loc palace needs to be placed in the Southeast direction so that homeowners can easily encounter financial luck, everything goes smoothly, and constantly progresses.

Placement
In feng shui, the ideal position for the altars of the God of Wealth and the Kitchen God is on the first floor and underground. The reason is that the altars of spiritual gods should be placed in cool, open spaces without any obstructions and darkness.
In particular, avoid placing the altars of the God of Wealth in places such as facing mirrors or lights, near toilets, and sinks, or places with bright sunlight.
The altars of the God of Wealth and the Kitchen God should also be placed near the entrance because according to the beliefs of ancient people, doing so will help the Kitchen God observe people entering and leaving the house every day, timely prevent bad things. However, avoid placing them in the center of the main entrance, but only on the left or right side.
The altars of the God of Wealth and the Kitchen God should also rely on a solid, sturdy wall and not face outward.
Arrangement on the altar
In the case where your home altar has both the Earth God and the God of Wealth, you should place the Earth God on the right and the God of Wealth on the left in the direction from the outside. In the center is the incense burner with 5 cups of water on a rectangular tray. Then, place 2 small jars or use sealed bags to hold rice and salt.
In addition, homeowners can also display feng shui items such as the Three-Legged Toad, a bowl of fresh flowers… to attract wealth into the house.
