Oshun
, also spelled
Osun
, an
orisha
(deity) of the
Yoruba
people of southwestern
Nigeria
. Oshun is commonly called the river orisha, or goddess, in the Yoruba religion and is typically associated with
water
, purity,
fertility
, love, and sensuality. She is considered one of the most powerful of all orishas, and, like other gods, she possesses human attributes such as vanity, jealousy, and spite.
Oshun os one of the most beloved Yoruba deities. When respected and properly invoked, she holds the keys to love, success, and pregnancy. For those who have not yet had the privilege of knowing Oshun, the benevolent and venerated Yoruba goddess: May you one day experience the strength in her power, the beauty of her undying live, and the magical rhythm flowing through her sacred waters. This goddess is very much alive; her feminine essence resides in the rivers of the world and in the hearts of those who call upon her energy today and every day.
Developed among the people of Nigeria and Benin, the Yoruba faith consists of ritual practices that included signing, dancing, spiritual possession, and healing ceremonies. It is said that the day we are born, each of us are accompanied by an Orisha, "owner of our head", who serves as a lifelong protector. In the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean, seven of the many Orishas are referred to as "the Seven African Powers," Among them are Eleggua, Obatala, Yemaya, Oya, Oshun, Shango, and Ogun. We're said to share personality traits with our Orisha, who ultimately helps us learn more about ourselves in order to lead an effective life.
The Youruba faith has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My grandmother was a complete devotee of Shango, and my parents always had altars for Orishas in different parts of our house. When I was 20 years old, I went to see Babalawo ( high Priest) to receive my guardian Orisha. Despite my love for every single one of them, I was secretly hoping it would be Oshun. I grew up involving her spirit through rituals and offerings, and to this day, she has never once failed me which is probably why I wans't suprised when the Babaawo told me she as my mother. I remember soaking it all in, feeling like a goddess in the flesh.
Oshun the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility is the youngest Orisha and one of the most adored in the Yoruba religion. According to the patakis (sacred stories left us by our ancestors), she was brought into existence of Olodumare, the supreme Creator, once he realized something crucial was missing after creating the earth: sweetness and love. As one of the ancient Yoruba myths suggest, the human race would not exist if Oshun had been send to out world not exist of Oshun had been send to our world. It is said that her sweet and fertile water brought life back to humanity.
