For generations and generations women have heard stories/myths. Women`s storytelling is an elusive mystery that evokes wisdom, because as their universe is fluid, chaotic, and indefinable from the perspective of male discourse, women often tell stories through the medium of metaphors. Through the symbolic language, women challenge and play with their oppressive conditions. By reinterpreting or resignifying stories women can attain and circulate wisdom. Moreover, in the midst of their oscillation between knowledge and wisdom, women have generated the deep spirituality beyond dichotomies. The Korean goddess myths in Shamanism reveal an autonomous, powerful female image whose boundary is not restricted within the typical female gender role or image under patriarchy. Rather, they manifest the image of a cosmic creator as their creative activities freely take the inter-space of heaven, earth, and sea-the threshold of origin. Their powerful, yet, caring and responding characteristics, therefore, encourage women`s empowerment and subjective identity. Besides their realm of inter-space, they also represent interrelationship among themselves and with people and nature. In this respect, I present three goddess myths- the myths about the giant grandmother goddess, the triune -grandmother goddess, and the dragon goddess. These goddesses resonate with Sophia in the Wisdom tradition. Sophia is a cosmic spirit who attends divine creation as she is creating and nurturing. Her another function is to communicate with people in order to teach divine mystery, wisdom, and grace. Considering the relation between wisdom and communication, the wisdom provided by goddess myths also teaches women to communicate with nature`s creativity which is deeply connected with women`s bodily experiences. The attained wisdom from stories/myths is, therefore, not an abstract one but rather a practical one realized in women`s daily lives. For women, spirituality is an inner strength raised from the recognition of divine spirit and grace in nature and its connection to their lives. The mythical tradition of women`s storytelling embedded in Shamanism has many significant aspects. First, it is a way of generating wisdom for women without confining in the male knowledge system. Second, it provides women to imagine more subjective identity than their reality, as the dynamic activities of these goddesses are freed from gender roles or the typical femininity. Third, it enhances ecological awareness by recognizing interrelational creativity in nature which is indeed the fundamental principle of nature. Finally, it provokes spirituality in two respects: one is the spirituality that empowers women`s inner strength by letting them to recognize their active, dynamic, and autonomous subjectivities; another is the spirituality that emerges from the reverence to divine mystery in the cosmos as well as the appreciation to divine grace. For ecofeminist theology, these aspects provide significant points. The interrelationality of heaven-earth-human beings illustrated in these myths challenges anthropocentrism that emphasizes human superiority over nature. The intrerelational creative activity of goddess and their physical labor call for rethinking of the traditional image of creator and divine creativity that emphasizes the divine word in orderly passion while disregarding the actual engagement of divine roach with tehom in creation. Ecofeminist theology has often emphasized the connection between women and nature in the context of women`s life-giving and life-nurturing experiences. However, it has a risk to reassure women to be restricted in gender role in patriarchy. These myths, on the contrary, illustrate the cosmic female image that really connects women to nature beyond gender norms, which gives women a undefinable open space for their new becoming. In that space, women would connect their wisdom and spirituality to the grace of God and nature.
