Oxum, daughter of Iemanjá and sister of Xangô, is the queen of the rivers, adorned with golden necklaces and surrounded by the energy of motherhood. Her story is intertwined with the beauty and power of fresh waters, and her presence is celebrated in moments of love and fertility. Legend has it that, with her golden fan, she reflects sunlight onto the waters, filling the world with the radiant energy of love.

In Yoruba culture, Oxun is revered as the Orixá of fertility, love and wealth. Her sacred day is Saturday, when the waters of the river reflect the sunlight in a special way. The predominant color is golden yellow, symbolizing wealth, prosperity and feminine power.

Religious syncretism often associates Oxum with the figure of Nossa Senhora da Conceição or Nossa Senhora Aparecida in the Catholic tradition, showing the ability of Yoruba culture to adapt to new contexts.

Today, Oxum is invoked to seek the sweetness of life, fertility and abundance. Her presence is requested in moments of love, in healing rituals and in moments of introspection at the water's edge. Oxun is the guardian of femininity, inspiring women and men to embrace the softness and strength that reside in their hearts.

May the golden light of Oxum illuminate our lives, bringing the sweetness of love, the fertility of the paths and the prosperity that flows like a constant river. May your rivers of gold fill our hearts with joy and gratitude, guiding us through the serene waters of life.
