설문대할망 Grandma/Great Mother Seolmundae was a giant #goddess from the volcanic island of #Jeju, or Tamra as it was known of old. She created the world one day when she sat up from a nap and let rip with a huge fart, rattling the island and raising pillars of fire to the sky.
Grandma put out the fires by shoveling sea water and soil onto them, then carried soil in her skirt to build Mount Halla, the central peak of the island. The dirt fell through holes in her skirt to form smaller hills, the 오름 oreum. The force of her urine tore off a piece of land to create the island of 소섬 Soseom.
The folk of Tamra farmed on her soft, fertile flesh, while her strong streams of piss nurtured ocean life which diving women harvested. #MythologyMonday #mythology #folklore #korea
