Oxum’s Feast arising December 8th… celebrate in golden light, with yellow flowers, honey, and honoring of sacred union… feel her dancing through you as the darkness darkens and the light prepares to return…
Oxum or Oshun is the Yoruban Goddess of the sweet waters such as rivers, and waterfalls. She is the Goddess of Love and of Sacred Sexuality. Call upon her to teach you about the nature of love for Self and for your partner. She loves beauty and so is pleased with the sweetness of honey, softness of flowers, cascading waters and beautiful adornments, such as jewelry and perfume.
Invoke her as you dance, making space for your own well being and pleasure. Light an altar for her in your home. Take a bath with flower petals and crystals, or sea salts herbs and essential oils… whatever arouses joy, play and relaxation in you. Listen to your favorite music. Luxuriate on a pile of pillows or sheepskin in front of a fireplace. Get a massage. Maybe even from a special someone. Practice the art of giving and receiving. It is not necessary to practice this with another human.. and in fact… might be more fun to practice giving and receiving with Spirit.
Give gifts and love to Mae Oxum and receive her beauty, truth and love in your body, mind and heart.
