Nu Kua is the Creatrix Goddess of Ancient China.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When the heavens and earth were separated, there were no human beings. Nu Kua was bored and lonely and so made the first humans out of clay made from mud from the Yellow River. Her breath and Yin became the first women; Her breath and Yang became the first men. The first of these were fashioned, and molded, with her hands. However, as she found how tedious and time-consuming this was, she began to drop a rope into the river’s clay and to allow droplets to form and to fall from the rope. Hence, those that were molded became the nobles and those who were unmolded became the peasants. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

She is said to have the body of a woman from the waist up, and the body of a serpent\/snake\/dragon from the waist down. There are also myths of her having the body of a Tortoise.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As the myth goes, the monster, Kung-Kung, during a great battle, flattened the mountains, tore a hole in the sky, and tilted the Earth.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Nu Kua came to restore order. She melted five sacred, colored stones and repaired the sky. She took control of water, enabling the rains to fall when and where necessary and put out fires. She put the seasons in the right order. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

She replaced the pillars of heaven with the legs of a great turtle\/tortoise so that they would not collapse; Dragons on these pillars guard the path of the sun and the moon.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

She corrected problems on Earth by quelling the problems of human chaos, by establishing marriage, ensuring that children would be raised correctly. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After restoring order, Nu Kua retreated to her domain, the sky, wearing a compass to symbolize order. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

She has dominion over marital relations and fertility. It is said that she responds to prayers directed toward her. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Nu Kua represents order and its’ restoration, is a calming influence in stressful situations and also helps with a positive attitude after negative events. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
