Queen Mother of the West
This amulet-style pendant is handcrafted by Taoist artisans. The enamel shell is carved from an alloy and coated with durable enamel, ensuring its color lasts for years (note: the color may oxidize naturally).
Obverse: The Queen Mother of the West, an orthodox Taoist deity, is commonly known as "Queen Mother of the West," one of the most important goddesses in ancient Chinese mythology. She is not only the ruler of Kunlun Mountain and the purveyor of the elixir of immortality, but also the leader of all female immortals in the Taoist system, overseeing marriage, childbirth, rewards and punishments.
- Spiritual Significance: The Queen Mother of the West is a "living fossil" deity in Chinese mythology, a figure that evolved from primitive beliefs into a formalized religion.
- She embodies the dual deities of creation (life/immortality) and destruction (punishment/disasters).
- She is both the embodiment of majesty and power, and the source of grace and kindness.
- Understanding the Queen Mother of the West sheds light on the complexity and lofty status of female deities in Chinese mythology. She is not a "queen" dependent on a male deity, but a supreme goddess with independent divinity and power, ruling over life and the order of the celestial realm. She is the supreme queen of Kunlun Mountain, holding the key to immortality and ruling over all immortals.
- Eternal life and immortality: Represented through the peaches and the elixir of immortality.
- Absolute power and order: As the leader of the female immortals, she oversees the laws and rewards and punishments of the immortal world.
- Feminine power: In contrast to the masculine power of the Eastern King, she is the embodiment of the feminine energy of the universe.
Reverse: Engraved with the Taoist Hetu Luoshu.
Small yet powerful, this pendant makes a meaningful gift or a personal amulet.
