Taoist (Way of the Celestial Masters) Sites

Way of the Celestial Masters sites cover the specific Taoist lineage founded by Zhang Daoling, the earliest organized Taoist religious movement, kept apart from the broader Taoist grouping because this school's own priesthood, ritual canon and hereditary leadership give it an institutional identity that generic Taoist practice does not share. A site belongs here when the record ties it to this lineage specifically rather than to Taoist philosophy or practice more generally. The distinction follows the tradition's own claimed lineage, not the atlas's judgment of what counts as authentically Taoist.
