Dashin

Description: While often anthropomorphized, she is generally considered by her worshipers as a much more abstract being; perceived as the source of all that exists. In conjunction with her husband, Wu Jai, she is viewed as the receptive yin principle giving form to the energizing yang principle which he represents. While nature is essentially neutral, most view her as good, particularly in light of her opposition to her sister Gaurashiage.
