EAST ASIAN MYTHOLOGY MEME:

[6/7] KOREAN GODS AND GODDESSES | JOWANGSHIN

Jowangshin (조왕신) is the Korean goddess of fire and the hearth. She is part of the Gashin, a branch of deities believed to protect the various objects and rooms of the house.

The origin of Jowangshin appears in the Munjeon Bonpuli, a myth of Jeju Island that explains the creation of the Gashin. Jowangshin was firstly Yeosan Buin, a devoted wife and mother of seven sons. While she worked hard for her family, her husband, Namseonbi, would always squander their gatherings. Hoping to combat this, she sold her belongings and purchased fine clothing, hats, and fifty silver coins, suggesting that with these accessories they could buy grain, which was cheap in their village, and sell it in other villages where grain was expensive.

Namseonbi, outfitted in expensive clothing and with a ship full of grain, set out to another village. In Odong, he met an innkeep's daughter, Noiljadae, who approached him and suggested that he rest at her inn. There, he sold his clothes and grain for rice wine and entertainment, becoming penniless once more. Noiljadae, angered, chased him away. Yeosan Buin became worried at Namseonbi's absence and made a small wooden boat. She floated away to the village of Odong and found her husband, at which point she began preparations to sail home.

Noiljadae, bearing enmity towards the two, decided that she should get rid of Yeosan Buin and take her riches. She invited her into the lake of Ocheongang to wash there. However, Ocheongang was an icy lake that had no bottom. Noiljadae did not enter the lake, but Yeosan Buin did and subsequently drowned. Noiljadae later masqueraded as Yeosan Buin but was met with failure: the seven sons, on instinct, knew she was not their mother and ambushed her. Later, she hung herself in a bathroom and became Cheuksin, the deity of the outhouse.

Yeosan Buin's seven sons prayed to Cheonjiwang, the heavenly ruler, for four days and four nights; eventually, the cadaver of their mother was revealed. She was revived by her sons and made into the goddess of fire and the hearth by Cheonjiwang to make up for her times in an icy lake.
