Orixá of 2023: Oxum and Exu strengthen energies – Chapéus – Blog

When a year begins, it is common to increase the search for predictions for the coming months. The idea is to identify the strongest energies and find ways to prepare for new challenges and opportunities. Do you want to know what the orisha of 2023? We prepared an article on the subject, including two prayers to promote spiritual cleansing and attract good vibrations!

What are orishas?

Orixás are deities from Yoruba African mythology that became popular in Brazil with the Umbanda and Candomblé religions. They represent men and women with the ability to alter the course of nature. It is believed that they were sent by Olodumarê (supreme being) to create the world and then had the role of teaching and helping humanity to live on the planet.

They bring specific characteristics, including physical appearance, sexuality, psychological profile and temperament. And each human being would have inherited a certain orixá head (which leads throughout life), reproducing its physical and behavioral details.

The tradition of identifying each year’s orixá can serve as a guide. It indicates what the greatest possibilities are and also the issues that need to be looked at more carefully to avoid allowing the “shadow side” to manifest itself.

What is the ruling orisha of 2023?

The year 2023 will be governed by Oxum and Exu. Therefore, it can promote spiritual development, communication, prosperity and fertility.

Oxum is the queen of fresh water, owner of rivers and waterfalls, syncretized (associated with a saint of the Catholic Church) as Our Lady of Aparecida. Considered the lady of beauty, fertility, money and sensitivity, she represents wisdom and feminine power. It also symbolizes love, union and marriage. She talks about spiritual and material wealth. Women who want to get pregnant can ask for your help, which will be more helpful. The shadow side comes with the possibility of extreme vanity, competitiveness and revenge.

Exu, the guardian of communication, acts as a messenger between human beings and deities. It can provide an additional incentive to believe in one’s own potential and also favor the connection with the divine. Brings the energy of organization, discipline and character. On the other hand, he can stir up vanity and disputes.

Prayer Oxum protection

“Beloved Mother Oxum, who governs and guards the sacred mystery of divine love. We cry out to you at this moment so that it may involve us in your radiations of love and lead us into your divine mystery. Hear and respond, Beloved Mother, to our cry and invocations and come to our aid, benefiting us by moving away from the negativity that has paralyzed our evolution, making us lose faith, love and divine hope.

Holy Mother of Love, free us from affliction, passivity, anguish, misery, hunger, illness, loneliness, apathy, ignorance and evil.

Nullify within us and in our lower instincts all negative vibrations and feelings of evil, envy, lack of love, anguish, inferiority, aggressiveness and neglect.

Awaken divine love in us so that we may be prosperous, fraternal, loving and generous with everything and everyone who surrounds us and who shares our life and destiny.

Act Divine Mother, on all our incarnated and disembodied enemies, involving them in your vibrations of love, positiveizing their thoughts, feelings, verbal, visual and mental projection, freeing them from revenge, betrayal, envy and hatred. Nullify the bad spiritual influences that have dominated you and that have been used against us. Renew each person’s hope and expectation that one day they will be able to walk the path of light.

Harmonize couples, parents and children, siblings and former friends, involving everything and everyone that is part of your lives.

Generate love for the abandoned, the afflicted and needy, the desperate, those who only think about wars, the petrified of heart, the unjust and the intolerant, renewing them with positive feelings that attract divine love in their lives and on their paths.

Mother Oxum, cover us with your blessing and allow us, in the meekness of your paths colored with gold, to obtain the divine love that you radiate from your heart.

Mother Oxum, support us in your arms, as you did with Oxalá, the king of our religion.

O Divine Mother, we cry out with all our love and ask for your protection, your light, your conception and your sacred love for us and for all the afflicted in the world.

Involve us, Dear Mother, in the radiation of your love for us, children incarnated in matter, and free all your children linked to us by the invisible bonds of life from the darkness of ignorance. Always keep the flame of love burning in each one of us, Beloved Mother, so that we never have negative feelings again.

Oh, Dear Mother, dilute all the cords that connect us to inferior beings and renew our feelings, vibrations and thoughts, leading us to higher planes, where there is the true and purest love of Olorum for all of Creation.

Ora Yê Yê Ô Mama Oxum!”

Exu Prayer

“Orixá Exú, you who are the Orixá Regent of the Void, the Vitalizing Orixá, the Exhausting Orixá of human excesses and their vain illusions, help us. We ask the Lord and the Creator Father, Olorum, to guide us so that we do not become empty. Do not allow us to get lost in the duality of life’s moments.

Orixá Exu, do not let spiritual and material disturbances undermine our willpower and free will, nor our will to live.

Orixá Exú, Lord of the Duality that we see in matter, guide us so that we are not seduced by paths that lead us to evolutionary and conscious paralysis of the darkness of ignorance into which we plunge when we become empty of God.

Free us from everything that separates us from Our Creator, and keep Evil away from us. And if we are worthy, may we have peace and prosperity, so that we can carry our burden in this incarnation in a milder way, with the absence of our abyss and negativism, about Your Guard and Protection. Amen.”
