There is always something powerful and transformative we can learn from #Oshun, the Orisha of love, beauty, fertility, and sweet waters. For me, she shows up in the most profound ways, constantly reminding me of the power of femininity and softness in a world that often asks us to be hard. Oshun teaches me to embrace my feminine energy, to let it flow and lead in all that I do—it is my birthright to walk in this power.
Oshun embodies the divine feminine in all her glory—she is the essence of grace, sensuality, and charm. She reminds me that my femininity is not something to hide or suppress; it is something to lead with. It is through this softness, this nurturing energy, that I find my strength. Whether in my personal life or professional endeavors, Oshun whispers to me to remain connected to this aspect of myself. She teaches that femininity isn’t weakness—it is the source of my power, my creativity, and my ability to manifest abundance in every area of life.
And in those moments where life throws challenges my way, and I feel the pull to react with hardness, bitterness, or anger, Oshun reminds me to stay sweet. Even when I have every reason to turn on the sour, to let the world’s negativity seep in, she guides me back to my natural state of joy, love, and compassion. She doesn’t ask me to deny my feelings or suppress my power, but rather to channel it in ways that uplift and heal, rather than destroy.
One of the most special symbols Oshun and I share is the peacock—a bird that symbolizes beauty, pride, and magnificence. Just like the peacock, Oshun encourages me to stand tall, to spread my feathers, and to let my brilliance be seen. The peacock’s iridescent feathers remind me that there is beauty in being bold, in owning your uniqueness, and in living unapologetically in your truth. Oshun’s presence in my life teaches me that, like the peacock, I am meant to shine, to embrace my colors, and to walk with confidence in all that I do.
Today, on #OshunFeastDay, I give thanks for her sweet abundance. Her blessings are infinite, always flowing like the river she rules. She pours out love, prosperity, and wisdom, reminding me that I, too, am worthy of receiving all that is good in life. Her teachings go beyond the material—they touch the spiritual, showing me that the greatest riches come from within. In every act of love, in every expression of beauty, in every moment of joy, Oshun’s spirit is alive.
To all who walk with Oshun, may you continue to feel her sweetness, her grace, and her power in your life. And may we all remember that leading with our femininity is a divine gift—a birthright passed down from the Orisha herself.
Thank you, Oshun, for your sweet abundance, for the love you pour into me, and for the lessons that guide me on this journey.
