Bagua mirrors, coin swords & temple charms

What it is

Octagonal Eight-Trigram mirrors that bounce bad feng shui away, swords made of coins tied with red cord, peachwood swords, and the embroidered sachets and paper charms issued by Taiwanese temples.

Making yours

Coin swords take 60–120 cash coins strung on an iron rod and bound with red thread. Mirrors are wood octagons 10–20 cm around a convex mirror.
