Show Notes
There is an immortal in Taoist tradition who does not declare her power.
She simply states that she has watched the sea turn into land… three times.
In this episode (1-171), Master Mikel Steenrod examines the fragmented legend of Magu, one of the oldest known immortals in Taoist tradition, and what her story reveals about early Taoist practice, shamanic origins, and the true nature of immortality.
This trailer introduces a deeper exploration into:
- The meaning behind Magu’s reference to geological transformation
- Why she is known as the “Hemp Immortal” and what that signals about early civilization
- The role of immortal banquets and the symbolic use of “wine” as elixir
- The presence of female immortals in early Taoist tradition—and how that changed over time
This is not simply a myth. It is a fragment of a much older system—one that predates philosophy and reflects Taoism as it was originally practiced.
