Goddess of the lotus He Xian-gu

The Taoist goddess is the patroness of the feminine principle, the only woman from the group of eight Taoist immortals who lived on Mount Yun-mu (Mother's Cloud). She is depicted holding a Lotus flower (symbol of purity) in her hands. This magical lotus was given to her by the great immortal Lu Dongbin. She made and took an elixir based on the "pearl stone", after which she achieved immortality. In the city of Guangzhou there is a temple of the Taoist goddess of the lotus fairy, where she is worshiped. This goddess is considered the patroness of the hearth and endows with a special power of attraction for the opposite sex. And the lotus, according to the ancient manuscripts of the Qing era, has the magical property of bringing good luck, wealth and making wishes come true!
