Quotes:
We call upon the name of Oshun...the Source
For we are the daughters of Abundance
We are the children of Excess
We are the offspring of Much and Enough and More
There is no want in the house of Oshun
And certainly no need that will not be fulfilled
There is nothing that is within our hands reach that we cannot have
And nothing out of our reach that she will not bring to us We have but to ask
Our Mother IS The Source
--a prayer from my Iya OlaOmi Amoloku
my iya's blogs
ask yeye: raising children in orisa
If you look for me in the morning, I will be at the River...Where the feminine mystique always reigns supreme. --From an Oshun Oriki
I've got earth blood filled up with the geechees long gone and the sea--Ntozake Shange
It was like the earth twisted around her; she shifted the ground and I was like OOOOOOOH SHIT! she's off the hook! ---Pharoahe Monch
