Line 4:

The [[Queen Mother of the West]] is most often depicted holding court within her palace on the mythological [[Mount Kunlun]], usually supposed to be in western China (a modern Mount Kunlun is named after this). Her palace is believed to be a perfect and complete paradise, where it was used as a meeting place for the deities and a cosmic pillar where communications between deities and humans were possible. At her palace she was surrounded by a female retinue of prominent goddesses and spiritual attendants. One of her symbols is the Big Dipper.

In Chinese mythology, the powerful goddess Xiwangmu has a deep and complex relationship with tigers, especially the mythical [[White Tiger]], or Baihu. Their connection is rooted in Xiwangmu's origins as a fierce mountain deity and the White Tiger's role as a guardian of the west. The White Tiger is one of the four celestial spirits, representing the west and the metal element, which aligns with Xiwangmu's domain. <ref>[https://www.suppressedhistories.net/goddess/xiwangmu.html

Xiwangmu is the only deity in the entire Chinese pantheon with the ability to talk directly to humans. Her peach tree, with its long roots and tall branches, serves as an intermediary between earth and heaven. Xiwangmu would not speak to just anyone, however. When she did speak to humans, Xiwangmu would speak exclusively to Chinese emperors in order to give them the Mandate of Heaven and teach them the secrets of immortality.<ref>[https://mythopedia.com/topics/xiwangmu/ Xiwangmu
