Known as Erzulie, Ochun, & Oxum in the Americas, and known
as Oshun in West Africa, this spirit's attributes are as goddess of love,
lust & vanity. She resides in moving fresh waters, and at times, the
limitations of love, and the brevity of life will make her cry. It is said,
that she alone possesses the hidden charms capable of harnessing the tireless
worker, Papa Ogou / Ogun. Erzulie / Oshun is personified by LORETTE VELVETTE. |
