The Legend of the Money Toad

The Chan Chu, or Money Toad or Money Frog, is an important creature in Feng Shui and Chinese culture. The legend of the Money Toad is intertwined with the story of Liu Hai, a Taoist monk and alchemist from the 10th century. Liu Hai is often depicted with a three-legged toad, and stories suggest that this toad could transform into various forms to evade capture. According to myth, the toad possessed the secret to eternal life and was capable of spitting out gold coins. 

Symbolism and Evolution

Over centuries, the Money Toad evolved into a Feng Shui symbol for wealth, used in homes and businesses to attract abundance.  The creature's unique three-legged design is thought to represent the balance between heaven, earth, and humanity. 

Guidelines for Using the Money Toad

There are some pretty strict guidelines for using it correctly:

1. Activation Ritual:

Activate it by putting it on a piece of red paper or tying a red ribbon around its neck. Then speak out loud what the intention is for using it. Then you can remove it from the paper/ribbon and place it in its permanent position.

2. The Number of Money Toads:

Having 1 Money Toad is fine, however, it is optimal to have 9 Money Toads, placed in each direction of a compass, however, none should be in a bedroom, bathroom, or kitchen. If you don't have 9, 6 or 3 are other auspicious numbers to have. You should never have more than 9 Money Toads in one space.

3. Placement in the Home:

  • You can place the Money Toad in the wealth corner of your home, or near the front door without it being directly across from the door, with the head facing towards inside the house. Never have a Money Toad with its face towards the main door.

  • The area around the Money Toad should be clutter-free, for good Chi movement. The Money Toad should never be on the floor.

4. Placement in a Business:

For a place of business, you can face the Money Toad towards the cash register or diagonally positioned from the front door, with its face looking inward to the space...never outward towards the door.

Additional Energetic Benefits

The Money Toad is not only known for attracting wealth but also for protecting against dark energies.
