In true traditional Feng Shui and the three legged gold toad with coin the mouth.

The three legged toad (gold or wood) is a commercial product. Many sellers sell it on the basis that they belife it is suppose to `bring good luck' to the owner.

Usually these mirrors are hung above the main door with the Ba Gua symbol to dispel evil spirits.

There is another type of Ba Gua mirror with the Two door Gods. Again, this is said to protect against evil spirits.

It is usually used by some practising Feng Shui practioners (with links to their personal religion) e.g. Taoism and they themselves believe that their clients should place these Ba Gua above their doors.

>3. who is god BA GUA?

From what I understand, if you are talking about the First Heaven Sequence Ba Kua, it is said to be originated by the ancient Chinese sage King called Fuxi. Some call it God because they think that it derived from the Heaven i.e. the formation of the Ba Gua.

A sample of the First Heaven Sequence Ba Gua can be found at: http://www.3dglobe.com/fs/pakua.htm

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
