The image of the reptile was painted on the walls and doors of houses, hoping that in this way they would drive away evil spirits from their possessions.
Different countries and villages created their own meaning for the lizard symbol.
Residents of Australia and Africa shrouded the reptile in various legends and myths, inventing many fairy tales in which the lizard was equated with their distant ancestor.
Among some Australians, the symbol depicted as a “salamander lizard” means that one of the spouses has committed the sin of adultery by daring to cheat.

Some reptile species have spines or combs - these were perceived as a sign of heightened sensitivity.
Traditions of the Slavic peoples
Few people know what the lizard was a symbol of among the Slavs. Ancient ancestors respected the painting of a salamander on a person’s torso, as they believed that this fact would help protect them from danger. The image of a lizard on the property averted sad events and experiences. In Slavic fairy tales, the lizard is considered a respected animal that interprets dreams, predicts the future, and warns of impending troubles. In the lands of the Urals, the lizard was considered the true owner of the Copper Mountain, as described in one famous fairy tale by P.P. Bazhova.
The ancient Slavs worshiped the deity Givoitis. He had the appearance of a lizard. The Slavs brought him milk every day and considered him a protector of livestock. Reptiles were treated with respect and awe. A good sign was a lizard or snake living in the house.
Killing these animals was considered blasphemy and a great sin, which would certainly be followed by punishment from above. Dead lizards and vipers were interred and buried with all honors. Many believed that after death, the souls of relatives moved into the bodies of lizards and snakes.
The lizard was also considered a symbol of rebirth, the beginning of a new life. The Slavs attributed several associations to the meaning of reptile:
- rebirth, striving for the bright side;
- fertility;
- excellent health;
- safety, survivability;
- immortality, resurrection;
- piety;
- dexterity, military dexterity.
There are many meanings of the lizard symbol, and everyone has the right to choose for themselves what to believe.
Slavs
An animal classified in folk tradition as a “reptile”; closest to a snake. Like the snake, Ya is considered an unclean creature. According to some beliefs, Ya is born from the devil’s eggs and can cast the evil eye and bewitch a person. It is believed that Y. can gnaw through human skin and get to the heart, and its poisonous bite is fatal. According to the beliefs of the Southern Slavs, a person will not be cured from the bite of Ya until he hears the roar of a donkey, until he counts a whole measure of millet, until he finds nine white mares and nine sisters, or until he drinks milk from nine sisters. Ukrainian stories about Y., who poisoned the food of a peasant who killed her cubs in the field, are similar to the stories about the weasel. At the same time, Ya saves a man from a nearby snake: he climbs into the sleeping man’s bosom and tickles him until he wakes up. According to Ukrainian and Polish beliefs, Ya takes the tail from a viper, and if its tail comes off, then it or Ya herself turns into a snake. Like the mythical hydra, the pieces of the cut Ya. grow together again. A similar ability is attributed to the snake. If you beat or cut Ya into pieces with a whip, and then whip the cattle with it, then the cattle will become thin and dry out. Ya is often used to cause damage. Thus, the Poles believe that if you mix pieces of ya into food, then small ya will emerge from them, which will strangle a person when they come out in balls through the throat. In Ukraine, they believe that witches dry and grind Ya into powder, mix it into someone’s vodka, and the person dies. Ukrainian girls bewitch a guy with a decoction of crushed eggs, but if the decoction sits for at least a day, it will turn into poison, from which a person goes crazy and dies. In Ya they see the souls of the dead, so the Poles, when they see Ya, wish the soul eternal rest. Killing Ya is considered a sin. If you kill a male Ya, the father will die, and if a female, the mother will die (among the Serbs) or as punishment in the next world you will have Ya in your mouth (among the Ukrainians). Ukrainians say that the sun cries when it sees the killed Ya. Therefore, the killed Ya, like a snake, must be buried in the ground. In some places in Ukraine, the ritual killing of Ya, like other chthonic animals, is carried out during drought to bring about rain. They also believe that clouds can be dispersed with a stick used to disperse two Ya. To expel bedbugs and cockroaches from the hut, eggs are hung in a bag from a mat (for Russians). Ya do not live near human habitation. Ukrainians believe that Ya will die if he looks out the window of the house. Ya, lying belly up near the house, foreshadows a fire in it (among the Poles). In Belarus and Bosnia, the first ya seen in the spring is distilled over a spread belt and wrapped around it so that the lower back does not hurt. To get rid of headaches, Ukrainians put Ya in their bosom, Lusatians - in a hat, which they put on their heads together with Ya. In Belarus, a person with a fever is fumigated with the skin of Ya. or killed Ya. is hung on his neck, which is then thrown away, and when the Ya. dries, then the disease will pass. In Bulgaria, sick and rickety children are given water with the ash from a burnt egg to drink. In Poland, live snakes and snakes are fried over a fire and hives are smeared with rendered fat to lure foreign or wild bees.
Australia and Oceania
The introduction of initiation rites, which play an important role in the life of Australian tribes, and associated ritual operations on the body are attributed to totemic ancestors - wild cats and flycatcher lizards. (from the article Australian Mythology)
In Australian mythology, there are a bunch of helpless creatures with glued fingers and teeth, closed ears and eyes. Other similar human "larvae" lived in water and looked like raw meat. After the earth had dried out, a mythical hero - the totemic ancestor of the “lizards” - came from the north and separated human embryos from each other, cut out their eyes, ears, mouth, etc.
A patron monster in New Zealand Maori mythology.
In Australian Aboriginal folklore, the Tarrotarro lizard is considered a cultural hero.
In the legends of the peoples of Melanesia and Africa, he is one of the popular characters or a family ancestor.

In Zoroastrianism, the symbol of Ahriman, the evil principle.

Feng Shui sectors or zones
Our home, according to the science of Feng Shui, can be divided into nine zones by drawing a real or imaginary Bagua grid. It will be a great help in how to correctly distribute certain talismans. Each such sector is located in a strictly defined location according to the cardinal direction and meets only its own goals. To activate these zones, you should use Feng Shui talismans.
One of the important rules: if there is a toilet in the selected sector, then it is better to hang wind chimes in it to dispel the negative Sha energy, but not other talismans!

Geckos
These funny little "dragons" are for lovers of small reptiles. In the wild, they live in colonies, with each gecko “protecting” its territory. Since they only come to the ground to feed, the terrarium must be vertical. To keep a couple, a small terrarium (30 x 30 x 50 cm - length, width, height) is enough, the arrangement of which requires special attention. As with all reptiles, you will need special heating and lighting equipment. To maintain humidity and create an appropriate microclimate, it is better to plant more living plants and sprinkle the bottom with wet gravel. It is also necessary to periodically spray the plants - geckos drink by licking droplets of moisture from the leaves. Take care of creating shelters - for this you can use driftwood, tree bark, coconut shells, ceramic shards, etc. Geckos feed on live insects and live in captivity for 6-7 years.
The ideal location for a terrarium with small “dragons” is in the East, or to the left of the front direction (when looking at the street). With an abundance of green thickets, it will work as a Feng Shui artifact, activating the energy of the eastern direction. Here the Dragon, which brings happiness and prosperity, can show its best qualities. His trigram is Tree, associated with family, ancestors, the implementation of plans, in the family she supports the eldest son.
Geckos are found in almost all countries of Southeast Asia - from the eastern regions of India to the islands of the Malay Archipelago. They can be found in tall forests, caves, among rocks and even in human settlements. Therefore, when decorating the room where the terrarium will be located (it’s good if it’s a living room), use the theme of the East. To create a unified space and enhance the effect, photo wallpapers corresponding to the theme are well suited.
