  1. Have a beautiful #DayOfAphrodite aka Venus' Day aka Frigg's Day aka Friday 🌹

    For #BlackHistoryMonth, I'm introducing African deities in my daily god toots. The #Ezili or #Erzuli are a pantheon of feminine spirits in #HaitianVodou that are associated with femininity and erotic love. Vodou is a syncretistic religion assimilating traditions of West and Central Africa and Roman Catholicism. The Ezili are identified with Mary, Mother of Christ, and #Oshun, the #Yoruba #Orisha of love and feminity.

  2. Have a beautiful Day of Aphrodite aka Venus' Day aka Frigg's Day aka Friday 🌹

    For #BlackHistoryMonth, I'm introducing African deities in my daily god toots. Meet #Oshun, the #Yoruba goddess of divinity, femininity, fertility, beauty & love. She is the patron saint of the Osun River in #Nigeria and her devotees leave her offerings and perform ceremonies at bodies of fresh water such as rivers, streams and canals. Her colours are white, yellow, gold, and coral.
