Oratorio for Doumu
The Mother of the Boisseau
Stellar cults are still very much alive in Taoism, in particular the one dedicated to Doumu, which is the personification of the most important celestial constellations: Ursa Major. Its cult developed during the Tang dynasty in the 9th century, and it occupies nowadays a central place in the liturgy of the monks from the “Absolute Perfection Order”.
