Some things associated with Oshun that I’ve tried which have made me feel so close with my Iya and a few new ideas as well 🏵💃🏽

> Put on some cinnamon cologne and annoint your temples with it for some Oshun wisdom

> Make some sweet water (a teaspoon of cinnamon and a tablespoon of honey into a mug of hot water)

> Really get your hips shaking when you dance

> Comb your hair, look into a mirror, and feel some self love

> Hang a peacock feather over your bed for confidence and passion in the bedroom

> Thank our sweet mama by pouring some honey in a natural river as an offering after tasting a little of it first (to show Oshun that it isn’t poisoned)
