âOchunâ or âOshunâ is the African Goddess of the Water.
A new video just released today:
Yo soy de este mundo, de este mundo y mas allĂĄ
Tengo todo dentro de mi alma brillarĂĄ
Miro hacia el cielo, veo a mi padre rayo sol
Luna y sus estrellas, madre e hijos del amor
Y todo lo que brilla, brilla siempre desde el amor del infinito
Con el poder del Gran EspĂritu de todo
Todos cantan la melodia, de la paz y alegria
RecordĂĄndonos que somos todos hijos de la luz
Madre de mi alma, llamando desde el centro
Fuego, agua, aire y de tierra yo me encuentro
Arbol de la vida, raĂces bien adentro
Corazon arriba y los brazos en el cielo
Y todo lo que brillaâŠ
Padre de mi cielo, brillando luz eterno
Corazon de fuego alumbra mi camino
Yo soy de la tierra y soy del universo
Caminando hasta el cumplir de mi destino
Translation:
I am of this world, of this world, and beyond
I have everything within my soul and it shines
I look to the heavens and see my father ray of sun
Moon and her stars, mother, and children of love
& All that shines, shines forever from infinite love
With the power of the Great Spirit of all
Everyone sing the melody, of peace and harmony
Remembering that we all are children of the light
Mother of my soul, calling from the center
Fire, water, air & of the earth is what I am
Tree of life, roots deeply planted
Heart above and arms in the heavens
Father of my sky, shining eternal light
Heart of fire, illuminate my path
I am of the earth, and also of the universe
Walking until I fulfill my destiny
yesâŠ
" Ide Were Were
This is a very old song out of the Yoruban & Santeria traditions â Nigeria, Cuba, & Brazil. I learned recently from Maggie Wheeler that it is about those who serve the Orisha Oshun (sometimes spelled Osun) and the brass bracelets they wore that Oshun asked them to rattle. This somehow managed to be mistakenly interpreted and shared by myself and many others as a ânecklace of love,â perhaps due to the devotees adoration of the Orisha.
Oshun embodies love and sexuality and one of her elements is brass. One writer shares, âTo understand Osun is to know the intelligence, vitality, caring and nourishing abilities of womankind. Long-suffering, cheated, overlooked, and over-worked, but always committed to the survival of humanity. Besides signifying wealth, brass never rusts, it is eternal. In Osun, we have the embodiment of prosperity, love, beauty, elegance, sexuality and sensuality and a divinely sanctioned feminist.
Oshun is the youngest Orisha (human forms of the sprits and protectors) and one of the most adored in the Yoruba religion. According to the patakĂs (sacred stories left by the ancestors), she was brought into existence by Olodumare, the Supreme Creator, once he realized something crucial was missing after creating the earth: sweetness and love. As one of the ancient Yoruba myths suggests, the human race would not exist if Oshun had not been sent to our world. It is said her sweet and fertile waters brought life back to humanity."

que lindooooooo⊠gracias
Iâve heard that Oshun doesnât like it if we put too much CO2 into the atmosphere. She is prone to causing floods or droughts if she gets pissed off.

âFall and He will raise you to the Heavens.
Become nothing and He will turn you into everything.
Shine like the Sun.â
Dobet Grahore from Ivory Coast, Africa.
She says the following about this song:
"Every day I feel immersed in the sensation that there are spirits around us. âZouzou,â in literal terms, means spirit, in fact angel, the spirit of the angel. I have always been connected to my grandmother, also my grandfather, but especially my grandmother, and I still feel her and I always feel these spirits around. When something positive happens to me, when there is a particular scent, when I have a memory from my childhood, when Iâm stressed, when I have a decision to make - I always have this energy accompanying me.
I also associate âZouzouâ with angels, therefore with children, because for me, angels are like the energy of a child, the energy of carefreeness, the energy of something new, something beautiful. It is something that we must protect, something to which we must pay very close attention because it is invisible, but sensational. It is invisible, but immaculate, something clean, something new. And thatâs why I wanted to call my album Zouzou. And also to give the little angels the possibility to exist through this song, through my album. Because I am sensitive to angels, sensitive to energies, sensitive to spirits. And thatâs why Iâm still here, because I try to include all these energies, all this invisible world, and this generosity and openness in my life, towards childhood, children, the most deprived, the most vulnerable and especially the spirits in my life. And thatâs why I named the album Zouzou, to honor to the angels we do not see.
Angel
I felt the presence of an Angel
The angel passed by, I couldnât see him, but I felt him
I felt him, I feel him with every beat of my heart
The angel passed by and took away my pain
He is with me, he does not abandon me
He is with you even if you do not believe in him
The angel passed through our lives, the angel is present.
