Description

Oshun (or Ochun) is the beloved Yoruban goddess of love. As such, she exudes the traits of love, sweetness, beauty, and sensuality. She has dominion over everything that flows, whether it is water, money, love, or a mother’s milk.

She is essentially the Aphrodite of the Yoruba faith and is synchronized with Our Lady of Charity in western religions. It is said that Oshun influences the pleasurable aspects of life and possesses unparalleled beauty and an affinity for enhancing the emotion and pleasures of the flesh. Her powers regarding attraction and affection are extremely potent.

Oshun is the granter of wishes, the grower of love, and the giver of laughter. Unless, of course, you catch her in a heartbroken mood. The fact that her beloved Shango is not monogamous to her and she alone stirs her jealousy. These painful emotions can transform her from love-centric to love-scorned making her a frightening force to avoid.

If the proper flattery and offerings are put before her, she possesses the maps and keys to lead you to and unlock the secrets of love and success. Your heart’s desires are her territory, so be especially careful what you wish for. She may or may not be in the mood to give you exactly what you ask her for.
