至尊女神西王母:The Holy Goddess-the Mother Queen of the West
恭賀西王母聖誕
志心皈命禮
靈鍾神州,聲馳閬苑。托體庚辛之鄉,沐浴壬癸之境。玉樓重重,不數巫山十二。翠水疊疊,能教桃熟三千。清虛標微實之奇,坤順轄乾陽之柄。五老與為周旋,八洞時承懿旨。飛鸞開化乎女宗,駕鶴談玄於凈土。克推仙祖,允司婦儀。大悲大願,至玄至仁。西華清靈金母,宏慈太妙無上元君。

The West Queen s surname is gou(緱), born in Yichuan(伊川), and could flyimmediately after her birth. She is the most noble and respectable ancestor ofall Goddess. From the heaven to the earth, throughout all trailokya(三界), all Goddesses should take orders from the WestQueen. The initial priority of a new Goddess is to meet West Queen, and thenshe steps on the golden palace to meet the Heaven Emperor.
西王母出身在伊川,姓緱,一出生就會飛翔。是至尊至貴的女神,是女仙之祖。天上天下、三界內外、十方的女性成仙者,都歸西王母掌管。所有成仙的女子,都要先拜謁西王母,然後才可以登金闕,朝上帝。
According to Chinese classicShanhaijing(山海經), the West Queen has the image like a wild personwith hails like leopard, tiger』s teeth, mess hair and roaring sound. However,it is not true, because the image described in classicshanhaijingactuallywas proved to be the Goddess White Tiger -a messenger of the West Queen ratherthan the West Queen herself by the bookCollections of Gods and Taoists《歷世真仙體道通鑒後編》.
《山海經》中描述:西王母的形象是「豹尾,虎齒,善嘯,蓬髮戴勝」。似乎是個野蠻人,但這其實是個誤解。據《歷世真仙體道通鑒後編》中記載,《山海經》中的這個長著豹子尾巴,會長嘯的人,其實是西方白虎之神。她是王母的使者,而並非西王母本人。
