Several myths exist concerning Oshun and her significance as a Yoruba deity.
In most Yoruba stories, Oshun is generally depicted as the protector, saviour, or nurturer of humanity.
❤️Oshun has also been described as the maintainer of spiritual balance or mother of sweet things.
🥰Other myths hold that Oshun is one of the wives of Shango, the god of thunder. She is commonly described as the favourite of all orishas by Olodumare, because of her beauty and sensuality. In yet another Yoruba story, Oshun is depicted as the goddess who not only gives life but also takes it. When angered, Oshun may flood Earth or destroy crops by withholding her waters, thereby causing massive droughts. In one myth, Oshun is incensed by her devotees and sends down rain, nearly flooding the world. Yet once she has been appeased, Oshun saves Earth from destruction by calling back the waters
Oshun has had many husbands. Different tales attribute husbands to her, including Erinle, Oshosi, Orisha Oko, and Aje’-Shaluga. She is also the sexual partner of, Shango and Ogun at different points. Her children include the Ibeji twins, Idowu, and Logun Ede.
Her Symbols and style: Yellow butterflies, gold, yellow roses, jewelry, mirrors, fans, honey pots, and anything that’s super glittery.
Sometimes she is depicted as a mermaid. She is always portrayed as beautiful, charming, and sensual. Sometimes Oshun is a little sad because it’s believed that NO ONE cannot LOVE HER ENOUGH and the world is not as beautiful as she knows it could be. (Um, that kind of makes us sad too.)
She is known as: Goddess of love, romance, gold, pregnancy, emotional healing, beauty, ecstasy, harmony, marriage, wishes, love spells, and fertility. She protects fresh water and rivers. She also heals the sick, cheers up the sad, brings prosperity, is the mother of all orphans, protects the poor, and represents good cheer and overflowing joy.
