Oya’s Betrayal

Oya’s Betrayal tells a Yoruba tale, a patakí, about a relationship between orishas Ogun, Oya, and Shango in a Renaissance style. Harmonia Rosales was inspired by artistic depictions of the Roman myth of Vulcan, Venus, and Mars.

As a lover of mythology and folk, I love seeing series tackle each pantheon differently!!

Oshun's Groove

Oshun, the radiant mother of rivers, dances into the hearts of all who call her name. Adorned in the golden hues of sunlight, she glows with a beauty that mirrors the shimmering surface of sacred waters. Her essence is sweetness itself, the gentle caress of honey on the tongue, the warm embrace of love’s purest form.

She is the Orisha of fertility, abundance, and irresistible charm, a goddess whose laughter carries healing to the soul. With every note of her celestial music, she weaves melodies that ripple through the waters of time, washing away sorrow and igniting joy. Her voice, like the song of cascading streams, soothes the weary and renews the spirit, while her drumbeats awaken hearts to the rhythm of life.

Oshun is a healer, her power flowing as freely as the rivers she governs. She reminds us that the waters of the world and the music of the soul are interconnected, both vital to life’s journey. When her golden touch graces our wounds, whether of the body or spirit, they are bathed in love and restored to wholeness.

She is the embodiment of femininity and creation, a muse who inspires poetry, art, and music. Oshun whispers to those who listen, “Let your heart sing and your soul dance. For in your joy, I dwell. In your expression, I rise.” She is the divine reminder that beauty and healing reside within the same sacred current, flowing endlessly through the Universe.

Harmonia Rosales @honeiee

"A small portion of a larger painting. This is Olokun, the god of the primordial waters. Angered that Obatala created the lands without her consent, Olokun sought to reclaim her dominion with a great flood. To stop the floods Obatala chains her to the bottom of the ocean…this is the very moment before she is imprisoned within her own kingdom. She stands as a symbol of the chaos that bubbles beneath our calm surface, a profound reminder of the lesser-known parts of ourselves we often retreat from."

There are 13 new posters for the "Sinners" movie. I only picked the ones of characters I'll use for fic writing. Wish there were Choctaw, Chickasaw or Natchez ones in the film cuz it is Mississippi, but it's in my upcoming fics, so I'll once again fill in any gaps with my own stories, lol!

Ogun

Ogun, Orisha of iron and combat. As the son of the creator of earth, Oduduwa, Ogun is one of the most revered deities of the Orishas. After Oduduwa had created the lands, Ogun lead the way for the other Orishas, clearing a path to earth. Together the Orishas brought the many aspects of the world to earth, with Ogun as the embodiment of metal and minerals, he brought the land its hardiest materials. With these metals Ogun gave humanity the gift of technology. All tools, from blades and wrenches to guns and cars, derive from Ogun’s source. Ogun is straightforward and aggressive, often being compared to a hound in personality, able to face danger head on. However it is because of his nature that he is the patron of war. Being incredibly adept in battle, he is prone to starting conflict. Like his father/mother Oduduwa before him, Ogun incarnated into a human form in the physical world. Son of his father’s incarnation also named Oduduwa, Ogun inherited the throne of the Yoruba city Ife. However after killing two subjects who disrespected him, he was forced to surrender kingship to his son Oranmiyan. Despite leaving the physical world, Ogun promised to aid those who called to him.

Ogun is one of the most popular and well known members of the Yoruba Orishas, with his worship transmitting to large portion of west Africa. One can find west African counterparts of Ogun in the Dahomey Gu and the Ewe Vodun Egu who is also referred to as Gu. Due to the slave trade, Ogun’s worship was transmitted and spread to the americas. His American theological descendants lay across the practices of the Brazilian Candomblé, Santeria, Dominican Vudu, New Orleans Voodoo, and Haitian Vodou. In Candomblé practices Ogun, known to them as Ogum, is synchronous with the Christian Saint George, Sebastian, Anthony and Peter. Ogun is the patron deity of many professions, with blacksmiths, drivers, soldiers and engineers being some of the many people who call upon Ogun’s protection. Ogun holds two festivals in his honor, the Ogun festival is called by a priest on the advent of a new moon, nine days later the festival starts and lasts seven days on the fourth they they sacrifice a dog an animal closely associated with Ogun. The second is the Elefon festival which celebrates the return of Yoruba warriors and the start of a new crop season, these celebrations hold a ceremony in which an individual wearing an Epa mask jumps off a mound, losing balance or falling is said to be an omen fortelling a bad crop year. Ogun’s many names include Ogou, Gou, Ogu and Oggun. Yoruba legends states that Ogun was an earthly king that ruled over Ife along with other earthly Orishas, some have claimed that this could mean that the Orishas are deified kings whose exploits were turned into legend. However others have countered saying that adopting the name of a Yoruba god when taking the throne of Ife may have been a tradition, with those rulers exploits being woven into the already existing deity’s narrative.

An excerpt of my annotations from Awo Falokun Fatunmbi’s text Ori.

Ori is the Yoruba word for one’s physical head, destiny, and consciousness. Here Baba Falokun is discussing the divination tray as a representation of the Ori to highlight its importance in the Yoruba cosmological scheme as well as divination’s purpose to help us explore its depths.
