Maiden Magu is the Chinese Taoist Immortal of longevity, prophecy, history, and hemp. Cannabis is sacred to her, as are deer, egrets, and peaches. Her path is the “Way of Infinite Harmony” and she is honored for her commitment to freeing people from that which enslaves them. It is said that when the Immortals gathered for a feast, Magu prepared a special longevity wine and gave it to Xi Wangmu, the great Empress of the Western Heaven. Xi Wangmu was so impressed with the elixir that she granted Magu immortality. She is shown here in a field of cannabis where the city of Weed is situated, just north of the sacred mountain in Siskiyou county. She holds a dish of peaches, the fruit of immortality, and a cluster of reishi mushrooms grows at her feet, also known for their healing and life-extending qualities. Her sumptuous robe is a vibrant red, the color of life, health, and longevity. A gentle mule deer doe looks up at her with adoring eyes, and three snowy egrets fly overhead. Her name, Magu Xian Shou, in Chinese characters appears at the bottom left.
It is said that although she appears to be young in her images and statues, Magu has seen the Eastern sea fill and dry up many times, each transformation taking thousands of years. She is a goddess of time and pleasure.
