"Devotion to Ochún, sweetness, and the divine medicine of tenderness"
THE INSPIRATION
Miel is devoted to Ochún, Orisha of rivers, love, beauty, and fertility · the golden goddess whose sweetness heals and whose laughter restores harmony. She is honey itself: alluring, nourishing, and filled with divine medicine.
This piece honors the pataki where Ochún's sweetness soothed discord among the Orishas and returned balance to the world. Miel is both offering and reminder — that tenderness is its own form of strength, and that joy is a sacred act.
THE MATERIALS
Citrine· for joy and abundance
Honey calcite · for warmth and empowerment
Cowrie shell · for prosperity and protection
Clear quartz point · for clarity and amplified intention
Each element carries Ochún's honeyed touch. Each one was chosen, not decorated.
THE DETAILS
Handcrafted by artist Njeri Akosua. Encased in a white leather pouch with Njeri's hand-dyed fabric. Fits a standard Bic lighter.
*Lighter not included.*
A vessel of sweetness · where honey meets flame, and devotion flows golden.
