Door Guardians

  • Mood: Content
  • Listening to: Merlin's Magic - Reiki: The Light Touch
  • Reading: Reki Master's Manual
  • Drinking: Coffee
So, I've been considering how to house door guardians for this apartment. I'd personally prefer a couple statues outside my door, but don't really feel like dealing with them possibly taking a walk if I'm gone too long or around Halloween time. I've considered small ones just inside the door, and while I've got the space... kids don't make THAT a very plausible option EITHER.

So as I have placed a painting I've done with a pair of priestesses looking out through a torri at the edge of shrine grounds (several people can already guess which one this is) and the space above the door now shows me what to do to fill the glaring matching spaces...

I am at a loss as to the general species that I should start on. So, for the first time ever, I'm going to poll those that watch/read me... Off hand I can think of three suitable species. The Shi-shi or shrine dog AKA "lion dog" is a traditional torri keeper. So too the kitsune, particularly of Inari shrines. I'm not a devotee of Inari, but considering that there is already one important kitsune in my life, and I still recieve visits from the kitsune helper of a friend (bringing this regular total to two), this would be appropriate. Or, what was my first thought, a pair of dragons. Another suggestion made to me was one dragon and one kitsune.

So... I'll be asking this question here and on Deviant Art (gasp,an update to that journal...). I must add that I don't know how long I will wait before I start... whenever I get the "kick in the hakama, itchy hands, put something in my hand now because something wants out" feel dragging me to a desk.

You can leave your opinion here, or you can follow the link to vote on the poll posted on my livejournal (be aware most of my posts there are only viewable to select people, and what is viewable without logging in isn't every single post I've ever made).
