Doumu

By Crusader1307

In relation to Western Religious Belief regarding The ''Virgin Mary'' (or Mother of Jesus Christ), Ancient Chinese Mythology spoke of Doumu. Also called ''Queen of Heaven'' and ''Mother of The Great One'' – Doumu occupied a similar role in Taoism. Another possible adoptive Deity from Hinduism, Doumu is portrayed as a matronly Goddess with multiple appendages (arms). She also has the ability of foresight. Her ''Seven Children'' comprise what is known as ''The Big Dipper'' (a series of Stars in The Ursa Major Constellation) in Astronomy.
