In history, religion and architecture we also find many references and images of lions. Thus, in the architecture of different eras and traditions, the lion is often used as a symbol of one of the four cardinal directions. Leo acts as a protector, for example, he guards the tombs of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs, as well as temples in Babylon. Engravings and sculptures of lions can often be found in India (on the thrones of the ancient kings), China (at the entrance to Buddhist temples) and Russia (especially there are a lot of them in St. Petersburg). And in the Crimea, sculptures of lions guard the entrance to the Vorontsov Palace! Feng Shui lion symbolizes power, strength, development, courage and authority. He also acts as a protector against unfavorable energies, dark forces and the negative invasion of Sha Qi into the house. In mythology and religion, the lion is often the embodiment of deities, often female. Thus, in Egyptian mythology, the goddess Bast was depicted as a lioness, the embodiment of divine power and greatness. In Buddhism, Buddhas and Lamas are depicted sitting on a lion throne - a symbol of purity of mind and enlightenment. The lion is such a strong symbol >> that it helps to find its own “inner core”, to become braver and more confident, more persistent and more agile.
