  1. Hi Jave, hope your having a great New Year's with good wishes of wealth and prosperity :) I had no idea there were so many Wealth Gods, I thought there were only 5 of them. Just a question about Ushering the Deity of Wealth on this Friday, are we supposed to burn 5 sticks of incense to usher the wealth god? Also are we supposed to face a certain direction (wealth direction) for ushering the wealth god? It is also the day to honour the Five Directional Gods on this day too, so should I place an altar outside my main door?
