evermore-fashion: Jiutian Xuannü (九天玄女) was the goddess of war, longevity, and sex in Chinese mythology. She possessed magical powers, and had the ability to render herself invisible. She even had the ability to turn the stars surrounding the Big Dipper into warriors that she would use to defend China if the need should arise. Her name is comprised of two phrases: jiǔtiān (九天), which means ‘nine heavens,’ and Xuán nǚ (玄女), which means ‘mysterious woman.’ Together her name translates to ‘Mysterious Woman of the Nine Heavens.’(Elie Saab Fall 2019 Haute Couture Collection) -- source link
