Oshun Tapestries
Description: Oshun is an Orisha, originally of the Yoruba religion, who has become prominent in many Afro-American and Latin religions. Africans brought Oshun and a host of other deities, and energy forces in nature with them when they were brought to the shores of the Americas as captives. Oshun is the force of harmony. Harmony we see as beauty, feel as love, and experience as ecstasy. She reigns over love, intimacy, beauty, wealth and diplomacy. In Cuban Santeria, Oshun is an Orisha of love, maternity and marriage. She has been syncretized with La Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre, (Our Lady of Charity), Cuba's patron saint. She is associated with the color yellow, metals gold and copper, peacock feathers, mirrors, and anything of beauty.
Description: Elegguá, is the energy (spirit form) that open all the road of life according to the ‘Santeria’ which is the religion that African slave brought to the Caribbean... Is represented as a rascal child with a lot of sense of humor with Black and Red as his colors... He is in charge of good fortune and success but he also can close all that. And just in case I give to ‘Elegguá’ this offering as a token of “I’m cool open few doors for me” kind of thing…
