¹Taemonim is the Mother of Life, who received the inspiration of spirits in heaven and earth and thus wielded the spirits’ power of creation-transformation. ²In conducting works of renewal, She summoned wind, dew, frost, snow, thunder, or rain; ³and She made the sun, the moon, and the stars disappear and then reappear as She wielded heaven and earth’s power of creation-transformation at will.

⁴When a drought became severe, Taemonim staved off famine by summoning bountiful rain using cheongsu. ⁵To resolve people’s trials and tribulations, She would speak a few words to Sangjenim or offer a chiseong. ⁶To address suffering from illness, She would caress the diseased parts of the sick and bridle demons to effect complete recovery.
