Mother Goddess Liễu Hạnh under the View of Religious Studies

  • Tuan Quoc Nguyen

Abstract

The paper introduces a new approach to an interesting phenomenon of indigenous belief in the North and Middle of Vietnam: the Cult of Mother Goddess Liễu Hạnh that originated in Phủ Giầy, Nam Định province. By thoroughly examining relevant materials, the author attempts to prove that the cult should not be considered a folk belief but better categorized into a national mixed religion. Once being seen as a religion, an appropriate behavior with it is obviously required.
