According to the myth, Oshun (Oschun) was the only orisha, or deity, to return Oggun to the world after he had ventured into the forest to escape the annoyances of mankind. According to the myth, she entered the forest wearing a belt of five yellow handkerchiefs and carrying a gourd of honey. When she found Oggun, she dipped her finger in the honey and rubbed it on his lips. She also pulled him in towards her by tying the five yellow handkerchiefs around his waist. Oggun was enchanted by Oshun’s beauty and seduction, so he naturally followed. The color yellow, the number five, and honey are major elements involved in rituals devoted to Oshun, especially those meant to enchant or “sweeten” another individual. It is said Oggun never lost his love for Oshun, although he was once married to her sister Yemaya.In myth, Oggun and Chango are always battling for the affection of Oshun, although Oshun is really only in love with Chango. The reason given for this is that Chango is a symbol of passion and desire like Oshun, while Oggun symbolizes warfare. According to legend, Oshun first met Chango at a tambor (drumming ritual) and has been in love with him ever since. She is also his sister, as they both sprung forth from the belly of Yemaya, the goddess of the sea. The way she seduced him then was the same way she seduced Oggun. She took her gourd and spread some honey on Chango’s lips.She is the goddes of love, money and of happiness. She loves to dance and make marry. Oshun is the Orisha of freshwater. She is the goddess of the river that bears his name in Nigeria. It is said that she lived in a cave that still exists in Ijesa , Nigeria, north to the Nile River.She is one of the happiest orishas as that is one of the attributes that she beholds. She loves the finest things in life and sometimes she is never satisfied.
