Beauty, jealous, pride... as this is Oshun, The godess of rivers and water falls. She has a very bad temper, when she becomes angry, the rivers become in fury, and can kill the men, so, she have to be ever very beliked to mantain herself benevolent. She uses yelow, the gold colour, because she is also the mother of gold mines. She is one of three women of Shango, king of justice.

fraitfully ogly, with her white eyes staring to nothing and her martian slim deformed body.
Is this some man hating goddes?
Or in other words a feminist

Honestly the picture is very nice but it doesn't seem as oshun, oshun is someone who looks more sweeter, this lady looks like she's about to kill someone!

Alafia, It's good to see people who aren't apart of Ifa or it's steams to have knowledge of Ifa. I love the fact that you are giving homage to OSHUN, my Iya. BUT, HOWEVER, this isn't the right image you are portraying. It would be wise to go to Google.com under IMAGES and type in Oshun and look at her pictures. Oshun is a very loving and kind. Oshun is the creator's messenger, to remind the world of love. This image doesn't do that. I would rather not describe what the picture looks like, everyone before me has done a good job at that. But Oshun is a full figured woman, never has she been skinny (maybe in childhood). Oshun is the woman with large robust breast. That we say in her prayer. It would be wise to look into her attributes more. You would not want to make Oshun upset. Don't get me wrong I am down playing or critizing you, at the same time this is my faith and I do not take it as a joke. When people put Ifa out there for the world to see, it must be put out correct and with Iwa-Pele, gentle and balance character. On be half of the folks before my comment and those after, it would be nice if you were to re-due this. If you need help you can contact me I have information on Oshun for days. My email is LoveLikeOshun@yahoo.com.

Modupe (Thank you)
Peace,
Ifakemi

la pintura no es muy bonita,oxum es todo lo dulce, abundante y maternal, ella cuida alas criaturas desde el vientre hasta que comienzan a hablar q es cuando los entrega a su orisha de cabeza, es erroneo la informacion sobre las minas de oro su reino es el rio,su metal si es el oro, porque ella gusta de todas las cosas hermosas y finas,por algo era la peferida de xango y segun las leyedas la mas hermosa de todos los orisha.

Beautiful picture but not at all accurate; neither is the description of Osun. We must be careful of how we interpret our stories.
