The elephant as a symbol
Across India, Thailand, China and far beyond, the elephant has long stood for wisdom, strength, loyalty and good fortune. Elephants never forget, they protect their young fiercely, and the herd is led by its oldest and wisest female, so they are also linked with family, memory and the power of the mother. In Hindu tradition the elephant headed Ganesha is the remover of obstacles and the god of new beginnings, and in Buddhist story Queen Maya dreamed of a white elephant before the birth of the Buddha.
Trunk up or trunk down?
- Trunk up: the best known lucky elephant. A raised trunk is said to catch good fortune and shower it over the home, bringing joy, celebration and success. Often placed near the front door, facing in, to welcome luck into the house.
- Trunk down: just as meaningful, and often misunderstood. A lowered trunk is linked with storing energy rather than spending it, with steady grounding, wisdom and fertility, and with Ganesha’s gift of removing obstacles. Lovely for a bedroom, a study or anywhere calm and focused.
