Description
Chang’e goddess mug, a 13oz white ceramic mug printed with original Mystic Grove artwork. One side carries Chang’e with her title, She who rose to the moon. Turn the mug and her name sits in spaced capitals under a small crescent moon and two leaf sprigs.
The artwork is painted in soft, natural colours on plain white, so it reads like an illustration rather than a slogan. It is as at home on a kitchen shelf as it is on an altar.
Who Chang’e is
In Chinese story, Chang’e drank the elixir of immortality and floated up to the moon, where she lives in the Moon Palace. Her companion is the Jade Rabbit, who pounds medicine beneath the osmanthus tree.
At the Mid Autumn Festival families share mooncakes and light lanterns under the full moon.
Her symbols on the Chang’e goddess mug
- Jade rabbit. Her faithful companion on the moon.
- Lanterns. Lit at the Mid Autumn Festival under the full moon.
- Osmanthus. The fragrant tree that grows in the Moon Palace.
A Chang’e goddess mug for your practice
A mug is one of the simplest ways to keep a goddess close. The first brew of the day becomes a small pause, and some people keep a goddess mug just for moon tea or for a cup poured as an offering.
In modern practice she is often paired with jade and moonstone, for good fortune and the moon. Her festival is the Mid Autumn Festival, at the harvest full moon.
Correspondences are traditional and offered as part of a practice, not as a substitute for medical or professional advice.
