Still not sure if you are the son of this dear Iabá to use these herbs? So get to know a little more about Oxum, according to Umbanda and Candomblé and then, the main characteristics of your children.

Lady of fresh water, beauty and wealth, Oxum is also called Osun, Oshun or Ochun, depending on the tradition studied. She is syncretized with the Catholic Church with Nossa Senhora da Conceição and is one of the best known Orixás.

Her image is portrayed as a beautiful and elegant Goddess with black skin covered in gold, with a golden dress and jewels from head to toe. She carries with her a golden mirror, the abebé, but when she is in her warrior version, she carries a golden sword. As a hunter, she uses a spear.

Beautiful, powerful, loving and fair, she is the Orisha of love, in all its manifestations. She understands better who Iabá Oxum is in our African matrix and is enchanted by Orisha.

The Orixás are the Gods or Saints of religions of African origin. Originally, each region or tribe revered a deity and, upon arriving in Brazil, they united their creeds and started to know a little more about the Orixás of other tribes or places. And that’s how Candomblé was born in the country.

Umbanda also reveres the Orixás and Entities, born from the union of Candomblé with spiritism, shamanism and other spiritual lineages. There are differences between the Orixás of both traditions, but Oxum is present in both. Understand better who this Iabá is.

Oxum is one of the great female Orixás – Iabás. She is sweet, sensitive and strong in her own way. She was the first Iabá to be part of the council of Orixás that discusses humanity and the only one to manage to deceive Exu, an astute and quick-thinking Orisha – and because of that, she is also the guardian of the games of whelks with this Orisha. .

Lady of fresh waters, fertility, intuition, pregnant women and prosperity, she dresses in gold and it is from this gold that the armor of Ogun, the warrior Orisha, was made. Prosperity, fertility, sensuality, beauty, sensitivity and spontaneity are outstanding characteristics of Oxum.

To find out if you are the son of Oxum – or any other Orisha – is a long process of study and self-knowledge. Especially because there are 3 Orishas that accompany a person throughout life (in some traditions there are 4 or more). However, it is the Head Saint who is considered the father or mother, being the most striking in personality.

Thus, to know if you are the son or daughter of Oxum, you need to know the characteristics of this Iabá, its Itãs (legends) and especially your own characteristics. It may also be useful to consult the buzios in Candomblé or the mediums in Umbanda.

The guides or strings of beads are ritualistic necklaces used in the traditions of the African matrix, always related to the head Orisha of the person who is using it. Usually they are made by the son of Santo with plastic beads or natural stones and are bathed and smoked with the herbs of the corresponding Orisha.

Guides are much more than props, they are a form of identity, of bonding with your Orisha. They demonstrate that he is an initiate, who his saint is in the head and even how long he has been in the tradition. For example, Oxum beads are usually golden yellow in color, and may be gold or amber.
