The Spiritual Significance

Oshun, known also as Ochun, is among the most beloved orishas of the Yoruba spiritual tradition and its diaspora in Lucumí, Santería, and Candomblé. She is the orisha of the sweet rivers and fresh waters, and of all that makes life worth living: love, beauty, sensuality, art, joy, and prosperity. Generous and warm yet proud, she is courted with honey, gold, and sweetness, and she blesses her devotees with romance, abundance, fertility, and self-worth. She is the sister of Yemayá, the sweet river to Yemayá's salt sea, and in the syncretism of the Americas she is honored as Our Lady of Charity, the patroness of Cuba.

This is a living, initiatory tradition. Oshun is traditionally served within a community of priests and elders, and its deepest workings belong to that lineage. Used respectfully, an oil like this is a devotional aid: dress a candle in her gold, anoint an offering of honey, or honor her at your altar as you pray for love, beauty, and abundance. In matters of love, her sweetness draws what is willing and freely given; it is not meant to override another person's will. It is not a substitute for the guidance of a santero or babalawo. Approach her with sweetness and respect, and offer this oil in that spirit.

How To Use Orisha Oshun Oil

1. Approach with sweetness. Clean your space and your heart before you begin.
2. Offer honey. She loves honey, gold, and sweet things.
3. Dress a candle. Touch a few drops to a gold or yellow candle and burn it safely, never left unattended.
4. Anoint an offering. Place it at her altar, by sweet water if you can.
5. Give thanks. Close with respect, and store the oil cool and dark.
