Oshun is the Yoruba water spirit of love, marriage and gold, and one of the Òrìsàs that form the seven African powers. The ancient shrine of the goddess is located at Oshogbo, where she is worshipped once a year during the Oshun Festival.
The goddess is worshipped in Cuba, the West Indies, Brazil and America. According to legend, she has unlimited powers that are especially useful during difficult pregnancies. Oshun is a fun-loving type, but can have a ferocious temper when her anger is aroused.

Traditional offerings are made to the spirit annually to bring peace and harmony, and dance and drama presentations form part of the celebrations.
