Oshun's Palace
Women’s Initiation, Women’s Mysteries
Oshun is the Yoruba Goddess of sensuality. She
reminds us to experience life from the senses.
She is present when you love the smell of what’s
cooking, the warmth of the sun on your skin,
flirt, talk sweetly, demand beauty. She lives
under our skin in the depths of your womb and
will no longer stand to be ignored. She sees the
beauty of every woman exactly as she is. Allow
her to emerge from within you. Your body is her
Palace.
Reda Rackley and I have committed to a body of
work we call Oshun’s Palace. In our culture as
women we have been conditioned to pour out,
serve others before ourselves and not to be
selfish. The reality that this consciousness has
created is women who are cranky, wiped out and
disconnected from the wellspring of their own
magnificence. That was never the Earth’s
intention for us.
Enter Oshun’s Palace and we will dance you back
to yourself. Come home to your erotic nature and
bring a fullness of your own being to your
family and community that will no longer be
drained. There are initiations and mysteries
that have been here since the beginning. Reda
and I will be honored to be your guides to come
home to living your erotic life.
When we engage in the erotic universe, a sense
of mystery, poetry, dance, shimmers around and
through us and we enter into holy communion with
all of creation. Running naked along the beach
at sunset, delighting in a juicy, ripe, summer
peach - letting the juices drip down your face,
all over your body, that is erotic. It is
engaging all of our senses simultaneously. To
live an erotic life is to be penetrated by the
gods and goddesses and trust the profound,
primary order and chaos that are inherent in the
world of eros.
Oshun is inviting our wild, instinctual being to
abandon the societal mask that has molded us
into strangers unto ourselves. Is it not time to
rush to the river side, stripping our bodies of
the layers of shame, abuse, control and dive
into the depths of fresh waters to return with
the golden essence of our feminine soul? Allow Oshun to surface playfully from the depths of
our inner oceans. This means finding kindred
souls with whom to dance play and laugh.
Like the environment and so many vulnerable
species, we too are rich resources that are very
much at risk. As we reach outwardly to protect
so many desperate causes, may we also make time
to reach inwardly and protect ourselves, our
song, our joy, our hope — birthed, not through
sheer will power alone, but through a
reconnection with that source of “dearest
freshness” lying within our most secret,
heartfelt depths.
Reignite your sensual nature, come play in the
Palace.
