✦ About
The Queen Mother of the West (Xiwangmu) is one of the oldest and most powerful deities in Chinese mythology. She rules over the western paradise on Mount Kunlun and is keeper of the peaches of immortality, which ripen once every three thousand years.
Her garden holds the secrets of eternal life, and her banquets for the gods are legendary. All who eat her peaches gain immortality—which is why Sun Wukong's theft of them was such a cosmic crime.
The Queen Mother represents the mysteries of immortality, feminine divine power independent of male deities, and the rewards that await those who cultivate virtue over lifetimes.
✦ Famous Story
Every three thousand years, the Queen Mother holds a grand banquet when her peaches ripen. All the gods are invited to partake of immortality. When Sun Wukong consumed the peaches and disrupted this sacred gathering, it was one of his gravest offenses against heaven.
