The Legend

Mayago (Mayago) is a goddess in Korean mythology, specifically the goddess of Jirisan, who is responsible for taking care of certain mountains. Mayago is one of the main deities that shamans or priests pray to, as they seek good fortune and harvests by offering prayers to her. Sometimes these priests reside in the mountains, and the height of the mountain symbolizes closeness to the heavens and the gods. According to legend, it is said that when prayers are offered to Mayago, the rain will cease. She is also identified with Wangryun, the mother of Goryeo's founder, Taejo.
