This paper tries to explore the tradition of the korean myths on the origin of clothes making and weaving. These tales belong to the creation myth, which is rare among korean myths. In most of the creation myths of other countries, the weaving goddesses make clothes and weave the textiles. However, there is no weaving goddess in Chinese and Japanese creation myths. In China, the silkworm goddess, sericultural goddess, and the weaving goddess are in all different shapes. In Japan, Amaderas, the sun goddess, has the character as weaving goddess. In korean records, goddesses of clothes making and weaving appear under diverse names, due to the influence from Chinese culture. In , one of the korean creation myths, the Mi-reuk, the creat god makes ‘Big clothes’ and he himself makes the clothes. However, this is not common in korean folktales. In most cases, female deity makes clothes and weaves the textiles, and these contents are reflected in many other folktales. After analysis of many versions, female deities have developed through four stages : (1) The giants goddess with the character of the create god, (2) the mountain goddess that are involved in the formation of mountains and valleys, (3) the mountain goddess that are not involved in the formation of mountains and valleys, (4) the agricultural goddess and the earth-mother. In the cases of (1) and (2), the giant goddesses either lack the capacity of weaving goddess or do not make the complete clothes. Whereas, in the cases of (3) and (4), while they do not make the complete clothes, they display the full character og weaving goddesses. These weaving goddesses did not necessarily have gone through the above four stage in the usual order. A good example tale for that is . In this tale, not only the ‘Hol-eo-mi’ the giant goddess who takes part in the formation of the mountains and valleys, but the ‘Nu-i’, her daughter, appears. The ‘Hol-eo-mi’ was originally called ‘Hal-mi’, ‘Seong-mo(聖母)’, or ‘Mago- Halmi’, but in this tale the character as ‘a widow’ is emphasized only. As a consequence, the deity of ‘Hol-eo-mi’ has deteriorated, and her capacity and the divine character has been transferred to ‘Nu-i’. Due to this, the creation behavior of giant goddess has disappeared and the ability of strength and clothes making has survived out of ‘Nui-i’.
