#goddess of wealth

New Taiwanese Goddess

I belong to the "Book of Xian and Shen" (BOXS), a project recording Chinese folk gods from East and Southeast Asia (or wherever else they pop up). I just found a goddess who hasn't been recorded yet, the "Female Wealth Deity" (Nu caishen, 女財神). She is presented as the deified form of Empress Wu Zetian (武則天). This is likely because Wu is considered the richest woman in history.

This is interesting as Wealth Gods (Caishen, 財神) are normally male.

I learned about the goddess by chance when I walked past a bike with an advert for her New Taipei temple attached to the back.

I might visit the temple this weekend to learn more about her.

Get over it. When you’re a Goddess, your presence is loud and you’ll be seen whether you like it or not. So why not own it? Stop shrinking and start basking in the spotlight. Don’t let being seen drain you, let it strengthen you. Envision yourself as a flower and envision the spotlight as the Sun, that is here to bring life, vitality, recognition, praise, prosperity, creativity, abundance and nourishment into your life.

The Union of Earth and Water

Artist: Peter Paul Rubens (Flemish, 1577-1640)

Date: circa 1618

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg, Russia

Description

The Union of Earth and Water is a Baroque painting by Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens, showing Cybele as the personification of earth holding the horn of plenty and Neptune as the personification of water in the center. The pair is crowned by the goddess Victoria and the union is heralded through a conch by the Triton below. The union symbolizes fertility, wealth and prosperity, specifically the city of Antwerp and the river Scheldt whose mouth in Rubens' times was blocked by the Dutch depriving Flanders of the access to the sea.
