[More info about Oxum : quoted from MonÁxi’s amazing video honoring Oxum here ]

“Oxum is an Orixá (diety/personality of nature), the mother of the sweet waters, of the rivers and waterfalls, worshiped in Yoruba, a religion of West African origin, and her Brazilian, South and Central American derivatives, Candomblé, Umbanda and Santeria —- goddess of beauty, an orixá of love, fertility and motherhood. Her element is water, her color is yellow or gold and her day is Saturday.”
