Oshun and the Underestimated Power of Women

Listen Later

Oshun as a river deity, fertility deity, African Venus These ethnocentric and reductive views fail to reflect the centrality and authority of Oshun in Yoruba religious thought and practice. Neither do they convey the multidimensionality of her power: political, economic, divinatory, maternal, natural, therapeutic. This episode we will seek to gain an understanding of the Orisha Oshun.
