Today & every day you should reflect on the beauty that is Woman, you should

remember those women that made a mark and those that continue to create marks,

templates and finger print traces in this Universe we currently reside in.

Women you must never forget that all begins and ends with You, you are the root

and you are also the flower. You have a massive role to play in this life in this Universe

fore you gave birth to it.

Women don't turn your back on your natural duties or shun your Goddess role,

because when we do we leave the space in which we should occupy and reign in

disrepair.

Gracious creators, giver of life, mother, sister, auntie, grandma, nana, niece, daughter,

wife, girlfriend are all titles remember above all you are Woman - All begins and ends

with you!

I Am One Who reflects the beauty of the universe back to itself.

I am the Beloved.

I am the dark mirror.

I am who comes to you crying into the night,

I wrap my arms around you in passion and comfort.

I am the dark expanse of space.

I call you to reach out to me, for in doing so, you touch your authentic self.

Find me in the corner of your eye and hear my siren song calling your soul home.

The Orishas - Oshun - Yoruba Goddess

According to the Yoruba elders, Osun is the "unseen mother present at every gathering", because Osun is the Yoruba understanding of the cosmological forces of water, moisture, and attraction.

Therefore she is omnipresent and omnipotent. Her power is represented in another Yoruba scripture which reminds us that "no one is an enemy to water" and therefore everyone has need of and should respect and revere Osun, as well as her followers.

Osun is the force of harmony. Harmony we see as beauty, feel as love, and experience as ecstasy. Osun according to the ancients was the only female Irunmole amongst the original 16 sent from the spirit realm to create the world. As such, she is revered as "Yeye" - the sweet mother of us all. When the male Irunmole attempted to subjegate Osun due to her femaleness she removed her divine energy, called ase by the Yoruba, from the project of creating the world and all subsequent efforts at creation were in vain.

It was not until visiting with the Supreme Being, Olodumare, and begging Osun pardon under the advice of Olodumare that the world could continue to be created, but not before Osun had given birth to a son.

This son became Elegba, the great conduit of ase in the Universe and also the eternal and infernal trickster. Osun is known as Iyalode, the " chief of the market." She is also known as Laketi, she who has ears, because of how quickly and effectively she answers prayers.

When she possesses her followers she dances, flirts and then weeps- because no one can love her enough and the world is not as beautiful as she knows it could be.
