EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Ma-Chu, Goddess of Sailors, and Her Two Assistants" we are transported to the realm of ancient Chinese mythology. The artwork, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, depicts Ma-Chu, the revered Goddess of Sailors, alongside her two loyal assistants. The print showcases a scene from G. T. Battany's book "Primitive Religions" shedding light on the religious beliefs and practices prevalent in non-Christian civilizations. Ma-Chu is portrayed as a powerful figure embodying protection and guidance for sailors navigating treacherous waters. The intricate details of the engraving highlight both the beauty and mystique surrounding Chinese culture. The goddess exudes grace with her flowing robes adorned with delicate patterns while holding symbols representing her dominion over sea voyages. Her two assistants stand beside her, their presence emphasizing unity and support within this spiritual realm. Their expressions convey devotion as they assist Ma-Chu in fulfilling her divine duties. This artwork serves as a testament to China's rich heritage and its deep-rooted belief systems that have shaped its people throughout history. It invites us to explore primitive religions through a comparative lens while appreciating Asia's cultural diversity. Through this enchanting print, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with spirituality and our collective quest for protection during uncertain times at sea or otherwise.
