ʻO ke akua wahine ʻo Oshun - ʻike i kona ʻano, ke akua wahine o ka momona a me ka nani

He wahine ʻōpio ʻeleʻele maikaʻi ʻo ia. ʻO kāna ʻakaʻaka ʻoluʻolu e hoʻohuli i nā kāne i ka pupule. A ʻo ia, e leʻaleʻa ana i ka lā Nigerian, ʻālohilohi ma ka muliwai. Paʻi ʻo ia i ka wai me nā manamana wāwae o kona mau wāwae wiwi. Hoʻokani ʻo ia me nā dreadlocks lōʻihi, e nānā ana i kona noʻonoʻo nani i ka wai - ʻo ia ke akua wahine ʻo Oshun, kekahi o nā akua wahine ʻōpio, i hoʻomana ʻia ma Nigeria, Brazil a me Cuba.

Lawe ʻo Oshun i kona inoa mai ka muliwai ʻo Osun Nigeria. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, ʻo ia ke akua wahine o nā wai hou, nā kahawai a me nā kahawai. I kekahi manawa, ma muli o kona hui pū ʻana me ka wai, ua hōʻike ʻia ʻo ia he mermaid. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka hapanui pinepine ʻo ia e lawe i ke ʻano o kahi wahine ʻeleʻele i loko o ka lole melemele gula, i hoʻopili ʻia me nā mea nani. ʻO kāna pōhaku punahele ʻo ia ka amber a me nā mea ʻālohilohi. ʻO ia ke akua o ka hauʻoli.

ʻO kona ʻano naʻau i loko o kahi paʻi nani, wela a nani hoʻi e hōʻike ana i nā wahine i ka leʻaleʻa i kā lākou moekolohe me ka ʻole o ka koi ʻana i ke kāne e hoʻokau iā ia. ʻO ia ke akua wahine o ka momona a me ka waiwai, a no laila ka pōmaikaʻi. Akā, i loko o kēia momona a me ka momona he nui ka lokomaikaʻi, he kaikamahine halaʻole me kahi hōʻailona pāʻani o ka wahine hihiu. Aia i loko o mākou, ʻaʻole anei?

Ua pālahalaha ʻia ka hoʻomana o Oshun ma Nigeria, a me Brazil a me Cuba. Ma ʻAmelika, ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Oshun me nā kauā ʻApelika. Hiki i nā Nigerians i lawe ʻia i Cuba ke lawe wale i nā akua me lākou. ʻO ia ka manawa i hana ʻia ai kahi ʻano Caribbean syncretic o ka hoʻomana akua o ʻApelika, i kapa ʻia ʻo Santeria. He hui keia o na akua o Aferika a me Keristiano. No hea mai kēia hui? Ua koi ʻia e hoʻohuli i ka hoʻomana Karistiano, ua hoʻomaka ka poʻe Nigeria e hoʻohui i ka poʻe haipule me ko lākou mau akua kahiko. Ua lilo ʻo Oshun i kā mākou Lede o La Carodad del Cobre, ko mākou Lede o ke aloha.

ʻO Oshun, ke akua wahine o nā wai maʻemaʻe i loko o ka pantheon o Caribbean orishas (a i ʻole akua), ʻo ia ke kaikaina o ke akua wahine o nā kai a me nā moana, ʻo Yemaya.

Ke akua wahine o ka moekolohe a me ke kuokoa

Ma muli o kona makemake i nā mea nani a pau, ua lilo ʻo ia i kahu no nā hana noʻeau, ʻo ia hoʻi ke mele, ke mele a me ka hula. A ma o ka hīmeni ʻana, ka hula a me ka noʻonoʻo ʻana me ke oli o kona inoa e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke kamaʻilio pū me ia. Ma Warsaw, hoʻonohonoho ke Kula Hula Caribbean i nā hula o ka moʻomeheu Afro-Cuban Yoruba, kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke aʻo, ma waena o nā mea ʻē aʻe, ka hula Oshun. Hula kāna mau kāhuna wahine i ka leo o nā wailele, ka ʻōhumu o nā kahawai a me nā kahawai. Aia ʻo ia ma laila, a lohe ʻia kona leo i ka wai kahe. Hula naʻe kēia akua wahine, ʻaʻole naʻe me ka hoʻonāukiuki. He mea hoʻowalewale ʻo ia, akā nani loa. Hoʻāla ʻo ia i loko o nā wahine i kahi sensuality maoli a lākou e makemake ai, ʻaʻole ia ka hopena o ka manaʻo o ke kāne. He ʻokoʻa nui kēia. I loko o kēia manaʻo, mahalo mākou iā mākou iho, aloha mākou iā mākou iho, mahalo mākou i kā mākou neʻe a pau. He mea naʻaupō mākou no mākou iho, ʻaʻole pono no nā poʻe ʻē aʻe. Pāʻani mākou me ia, me kā mākou makana a me ka nani. Hiki iā mākou ke hoʻohana ia no kā mākou kumu. ʻAʻohe mea hoʻopaʻi a me nā pāpā ʻana ma Oshun. ʻO ia ke alakaʻi ma ka hale o kona makuakāne. He wahine kūʻokoʻa ʻo ia.

ʻAʻole like me ka wahine Kakolika i hoʻolei ʻia a hoʻohuli ʻia, he wahine ikaika a kūʻokoʻa ʻo Oshun, piha i ka naʻauao. He nui kāna mau ipo mai nā mōʻī a me nā akua. He makuahine ʻo Oshun, ʻo ka Empress he wahine ikaika a me ke koko wela.

I hui ʻia

ʻO nā mea gula, nā kūpeʻe keleawe, nā ipu lepo i hoʻopiha ʻia me ka wai hou, nā pōhaku ʻālohilohi kona mau ʻano a me kāna mea i aloha nui ai. Hoʻopili ʻia ʻo Oshun me ka melemele, ke gula a me ke keleawe, ka hulu peʻa, ke aniani, ka māmā, ka nani a me ka ʻono ʻono. ʻO ka Pōʻaono kāna lā maikaʻi loa o ka pule a ʻo 5 kāna helu punahele.

Ma ke ʻano he kiaʻi o ka wai, ʻo ia ka pale o ka iʻa a me ka moa wai. E kamaʻilio maʻalahi me nā holoholona. ʻO kāna mau manu punahele, ʻo ia nā ʻaka, nā peʻa, a me nā manu ʻokala. Mālama pū ia i nā mea kolo e hele mai ana i kapa o nā muliwai. ʻO kāna mau Power Beasts ka peacock a me ka vulture, a ma o lākou e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke kamaʻilio me ia.

ʻOiai ʻo ia ke akua wahine o ka wai, ʻo ia hoʻi ka mea uwao e hoʻopili ai i nā holoholona a me nā mea kanu, nā mea ola a pau ma ka honua. Ma ka moʻomeheu Yoruba, he akua wahine ʻike ʻole ʻo ia e noho nei ma nā wahi āpau. Aia ʻo ia i nā wahi a pau a me ka mana loa ma muli o ka mana honua o ka wai. No ka mea pono nā mea a pau i kēia mea, pono nā mea a pau e mahalo iā Oshun.

ʻO ia ka pale o nā makuahine hoʻokahi a me nā keiki makua ʻole, hoʻoikaika iā lākou i nā manawa paʻakikī a me nā nāwaliwali. He akua wahine hoʻi ʻo ia i pane i ke kāhea o kona poʻe manaʻoʻiʻo a hoʻōla iā lākou. A laila hoʻopiha ʻo ia iā lākou me ka ʻike maopopo, hilinaʻi, hauʻoli, aloha, hauʻoli a me ka ʻakaʻaka. Eia naʻe, hoʻoikaika ia iā lākou e hakakā i ka pono ʻole i ke kanaka a me ka mālama ʻole ʻana i nā akua.

ʻO Oshogbo Township, Nigeria kahi ulu lāʻau nani o ke Akua wahine ʻo Oshun, kahi UNESCO World Heritage Site. ʻO kēia kekahi o nā ʻāpana kapu hope loa o ka wao ua kahiko i noho mau ma ka ʻaoʻao o nā kūlanakauhale ʻo Yoruba. Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā kuahu, nā heiau, nā kiʻi a me nā mea hoʻomana ʻē aʻe i ke akua wahine ʻo Oshun.

He ʻahaʻaina i kona hanohano. I ke ahiahi, hula nā wāhine nona. Lawe lākou i nā neʻe ʻauʻau i ka hula. Hāʻawi ʻia ka maikaʻi o lākou i nā inoa hou me ka inoa inoa ʻo Oshun. Kākoʻo kēia akua wahine i ka hana a nā wahine, a ua kamaʻilio nui ʻia ʻo ia i nā wahine makemake i ke keiki.

Makemake ʻo Oshun i nā mea ʻono e like me ka meli, ka waina keʻokeʻo, nā ʻalani, nā ʻono a me nā paukena. ʻO nā aila pono a me ka libano. Makemake ʻo ia e hoʻomaʻamaʻa iā ia iho. ʻAʻohe ona ʻano ʻino a ʻino, a paʻakikī hoʻi i ka huhū.

Moiwahine o ka poe kupua, ke akua o ka naauao

Ma ka moʻomeheu Yoruba, e like me nā kumu kiʻekiʻe, he nui nā ʻano a me nā kiʻi ʻo Oshun. Ma kahi o ke akua hauʻoli o ka momona a me ka moekolohe, ʻo ia hoʻi ka Witch Queen - Oshun Ibu Ikole - Oshun the Vulture. E like me Isis ma ʻAigupita kahiko a me Diana ma ka moʻolelo Helene. ʻO kāna mau hōʻailona ʻo ka vulture a me ka stupa, pili me ka kilokilo.

ʻO ka hana ʻana, ʻo ka hana ʻana me ka hana kilokilo ma ʻApelika he hana kiʻekiʻe loa ia e hana wale ʻia e kekahi. Ua manaʻo ʻia lākou he poʻe mana nui. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia he ikaika loa lākou a he mana ko lākou ma luna o ke ola a me ka make. Loaʻa iā lākou ka mana e hoʻohuli i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo. ʻO Oshun ke kākoʻo iā lākou a ʻo ia ko lākou alakaʻi.

Aia nō ʻo Oshun ka ʻIke - ʻO Sophia ka Naʻauao - ʻO Oshun Ololodi - ka wahine a i aloha paha o ke kāula mua ʻo Orunmila. ʻO ia hoʻi ke kaikamahine a ka mua ma waena o nā akua, ʻo Obatala. ʻO ia ka mea nāna i aʻo iā ia i ka ʻike. Aia nō ʻo Oshun i nā kī o ka Punawai o ka Naʻauao Hemolele.

E hāʻawi ʻo Oshun iā mākou i kēlā me kēia ʻano i hōʻike ʻia e ia: ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana, ka moekolohe, ka momona, ka naʻauao a me ka clairvoyance. Ua lawa ke kamaʻilio pū me ia ma ka noʻonoʻo ʻana, ka hula, ke mele, ka ʻauʻau ʻana i ka muliwai. Aia i loko o mākou no ka mea he wai ia a aia ma nā wahi āpau.
