About Magu Nursery
The Story of Magu
Throughout China, Japan, and Korea, Magu is depicted as a beautiful young woman, no older than 19. Her youth and beauty are symbols of the health and healing of the universe she is believed to protect. She is a guardian of vitality throughout East Asia, not only in the world of mortals but also the cycles of the earth. The most cohesive version of this tale states that Magu lived a poor life in the war-torn 5th and 6th centuries AD, working as a seamstress. There is no mention of her mother, but her father was a horse breeder and he and Magu worked together to make ends meet.
One day, Magu was given a peach by one of her clients, but instead of sharing it with her father, she passed it along to an even poorer elderly woman in the street. Magu then made the woman some porridge out of her own cupboard.
Unfortunately, Magu was unable to deliver the porridge in a timely fashion as her father arrived home and locked her in her room. When she finally managed to escape to see the old woman, the woman was gone – a peach stone was all that remained in her place. Magu planted the stone and cared for it as it grew into a vibrant peach tree, and later gave away the fruits freely to those in need. Before long, Magu’s peaches were said to be healing, and Magu was immortalized as a goddess possessing the elixir of life.
Though this tale is only one of many relating Magu’s existence, Chinese writers depicted her “elixir of life” as peaches, evidenced further by early Magu’s symbols in early Chinese art, but cannabis has also been intricately tied to her healing abilities – though on a spiritual rather than physical level. Burning the seeds was pertinent in purification rituals. Often, it was Magu who was invoked during these times, and she came to be associated with the Taoist landmark Mount Tai for its heavy growth of the plant.
Having a goddess whose healing abilities are specifically tied to cannabis is not as unusual as it may sound. In the world of Classical Greece, early China was occasionally referred to as “The Land of Mulberry and Hemp.” As her name has often been translated as “hemp”.
Further, that hemp appeared to grow so plentifully on Mount Tai, it may have even seemed that the gods were handing the plant directly to the priests and priestesses of the Taoist religion. Cannabis has been continuously cultivated in China since Neolithic times; for example, hemp cords were used to create the characteristic line designs on Yangshao culture pottery and the fibers were used to produce cloth prior to the introduction of cotton.
