Where to find Oshun

Natural bodies of water (lakes, streams, rivers, creeks), beauty shops, cosmetology school, spas, new age stores (she likes the pretty things).

Oshun is the Orisha of love. She can be the sweetest, kindest, most generous person you will ever meet. She is beautiful, charismatic and has great taste in everything. She appreciates the finer things in life (gold especially). She loves to laugh and wants everyone to be happy. You can always tell when she’s around because everyone just gets real silly and starts to giggle. Well, that and everyone seems to get just a little more sexy. She is graceful and loves to dance. Oshun represents the things that make life worth living.
