¹Early in the evening of August 17 of that year, when Go Min-hwan was alone in deep contemplation of matters concerning Taemonim’s grave, he suddenly went into a trance.²While he was in this dreamlike state, his soul flew through the air to the house of Yeon Gi-jong, in Hamyeol County.³He saw Taemonim standing in the yard of that house, holding Her tobacco pipe in Her hand as She had so often done during life.

⁴Min-hwan had always resented that Taemonim had not, after Her ascension, bestowed upon him any spiritual inspiration, so he now greeted Her brusquely, “Why have You come here?”

⁵“Is there anywhere I cannot go?” Taemonim said. “I have come here to draw upon the name of this place.”

⁶Exasperated, Min-hwan retorted, “If so, then I might as well go to Taejeon.”

⁷Beaming with joy at this, Taemonim declared, “Of course. I shall come again.” With this, She vanished.
