Goddesses in Singapore
Singapore could very well be the perfect spot for a perfect wedding. The attraction for the happy couple is pretty obvious. This is an elegant city with a fantastic urban feel, sensational design, and access to many splendid natural areas, and the tropical feel of the place which offers instant romance to any occasion. Weddings are right at home here, and there are so many different options in terms of setting, theme, and ambience, and there are hosts of professionals to help you every step of the way. It’s an exotic location with a very cosmopolitan feel, and all the guests will be impressed and dazzled. It also has an amazing number of attractions and events, and a fantastic cultural scene. Guests will certainly love the opportunity to see your Singapore wedding, and the city state is pretty easy to get around in, so they’ll be in for a few days of adventures on their own when it’s all sealed and done.
Besides the contemporary cultural scene here, which really is spectacular, there are many other sides of Singapore that offer a uniquely romantic feel. Local legends and myths have origins in Chinese, Indian, and Malay culture, and there are always plenty of other cultures coming through, and adding their own stories and histories to the collection. But there’s something particularly crucial about weddings that lends itself to spending some time in pursuit of the goddess, whether in a metaphorical way, or by actually trying to track her down. With the amount of temples and historic spots here, it’s a great place to do either, and in your pursuits, you’ll likely come across the figure of Matsu.
Her origins are Chinese, and her name very likely translates to mean Mother-Ancestor. She’s one of the original Great Mothers in the pantheon of the sacred, and her realm is the sea. She is a fierce protector of sailors, or anyone who has anything to do with the depths of the oceans, and she is a sensational representation of the power of young femininity. She may have been mortal, or may have been birthed from another goddess, but one thing that’s common in her stories is that she never did marry, because no man could ever match her. Matsu is also connected to dreams, as well as second sight, and her visionary powers saved her brother and father in the stories. Look for her while you’re here, because she’s probably already looking for you.
