Gargoyles

Protection by Gargoyles

Gargoyles appear on many different buildings and structures, originally to redirect rain water away from the walls. When drainage was introduced, the gargoyle stayed for decoration purposes.

Gargoyles are considered to be a protection measure. They are supposed to come to life and protect the surrounding areas around a dwelling while all is asleep, keeping it safe and secure. Gargoyles are generally made from stone and are a symbolic protection for the home. If you stare at them for long enough, the gargoyle appears to move.If you have a large home and you want a gargoyle for protection, a common belief is to make sure it has wings to fly and circle around the home watching and turning away evil.

Many people regard the gargoyle as ugly with evil connotations and refuse to believe they are associated with protection. The gargoyle is scary looking and is thought to be able to frighten away any evil.

The gargoyle sits best at the front of your home where it can keep a watchful eye. Each day as you walk past the gargoyle, thank it for its protection.
