Yemaya, queen of the sea, first emerged in Yorubaland (now in modern Nigeria). A primordial deity, considered the mother of all, she is perceived by some to be at the root of numerous ancient goddesses, including Isis.

Do you often feel deeply invested in the feelings of others, no matter if they’re family or someone you’ve just met? Do you feel drained and overwhelmed because of all the emotional "noise" you pick up when exposed to crowds? Despite being so highly connected with human emotions, do you often feel like a misfit in society…as if you belong somewhere else? If any of the above situations ring true for you, then you’re more than just a human…you’re an empath. But that doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you!

A Must-Read for Oshun Devotees
Mari Silva's "Oshun" is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the enigmatic deity, Oshun. This book is the second book I read from Silva, delves into the details and provides step-by-step guidance on how to truly connect with Oshun's essence.
One of the highlights of this book is the author's meticulous attention to detail. Silva leaves no stone unturned, ensuring that readers gain comprehensive knowledge about Oshun. From her origins and symbolism to the intricacies of working with her, the author covers it all. The step-by-step instructions provided are clear and concise, making it easy for readers to follow along.
What sets this book apart is its inclusion of spells and rituals. Silva understands that working with Oshun involves more than just acquiring knowledge; it requires active participation. By including spells, she empowers readers to engage with Oshun on a deeper level and manifest positive change in their lives.
Personally, I found "Oshun" to be an enlightening read. As someone who was previously unfamiliar with Oshun, this book served as an eye-opening introduction. Through Silva's expert guidance, I now have a better understanding of how to express my gratitude to Oshun for her assistance. This newfound knowledge has deepened my connection with her and has proven invaluable in my spiritual journey.
In conclusion, "Oshun" by Mari Silva is a valuable resource for those interested in delving into the world of Oshun. Whether you are a seasoned devotee or a curious beginner, this book provides a comprehensive and insightful exploration of Oshun's realm. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to expand their knowledge and connection with this powerful deity.

Great Quick Read! Narration...was um...in need of improvement.
The book was a great intro to Oshun; however, the very American pronunciation of Yoruba and Spanish words were disappointing. The juxtaposition initially frustrated me because this is a spiritual book with spiritual information and it would appear that no attempt was made to be respectful of that. If you can get over that, you're golden.

Redo
The pronunciation of the Orishas makes my skin crawl. The magic spells and offerings are misleading. Any IFA would never ever allow devotees to do non crowned people to do these offerings without knowing who Oshun is and her true stories. I regret but in the other books from this author.
