MAFEREFUN OSHUN 🍯🌻💛 Happy Oshun Day! September 8 is the Feast Day for the Orisha and Goddess Oshun – Her laughter fills our spirits and She urges us to dance and LIVE LIFE. Oshun’s presence makes everything brighter, more beautiful, more wondrous, and Her laughter is intoxicating as She invites us to dance to Her sacred drums and surrender to all the pleasures of life well-lived. It is a grave mistake to dismiss Oshun simply as a Goddess of beauty and sexuality or love. Her reach is far more encompassing and complicated. She is our origin as woman through all the feminine cycles of life. For all humans, She spreads Her golden magic throughout all that gives us life, love, bliss, and union – She is the sweetness of life. Her power begins as the source of all reproductive energy in waters of the womb and manifests as the enlivening energy that fires our blood and passions. Oshun has a capricious nature and for as strongly as She loves and protects, She can also bring the power of Her anger or Her determination to teach a lesson. She is the only Orisha that is associated with witchcraft and this means to help and hex. Oshun is enchanting, magical, clever, elemental, and known for Her laughter. She is the Goddess of Honey, but make sure you taste it first before you offer it to Her! Her number is 5 and some of Oshun’s areas of influence include: Fresh Waters and Rivers Love and Romance Fertility, Pregnancy (She births children but gives them to Yemaya to raise!) Wishes! Healing Her favorite colors are yellow, green, and gold, but my Oshun likes orange too. Offer Her amber, intoxicating perfumes, jewelry (She likes gold and brass the best!), all flowers but particularly sunflowers, mirrors, combs, fans, roses, items collected at the river. Some of Her sacred animals are bees, peacocks, vultures, butterflies, parrots,and crocodiles. Thursday is Her day of the week and September 8th is when Her annual Feast Day is celebrated. #maferefunoshun#oshun#santeria#yoruba#orisha#ifa#religion#oshunfeasyday (at Miami, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTj49QblsMI/?utm_medium=tumblr
