@classicnet test 3: women of colour in myths ↳ xiwangmu, queen mother of the west in chinese mythology

Xiwangmu, lives in the Kunlun mountains in the far west, at the margin of heaven and earth. In a garden hidden by high clouds, her peaches of immortality grow on a colossal tree, only ripening once every 3000 years. It is a cosmic axis that connects heaven and earth, a ladder traveled by spirits and shamans.
