"Devotion to Ochún, the river, and the sacred power of gentleness"
THE INSPIRATION
Sweet Water is devoted to Ochún the flowing goddess of rivers, love, and grace. She does not force her way through the world. She finds it. Over stone, through stone, around stone. The river always arrives.
This piece is for those learning that gentleness is not weakness. That softness, chosen deliberately, is the oldest kind of power.
THE MATERIALS
River rock · for her flowing domain
Cowrie shell · for abundance and protection
Clear quartz point · for clarity
Citrine · for prosperity and joy
Mirror · to reflect her brilliance and the radiance she bestows
Each element carries the current of Ochún's sweetness · the love that flows without forcing.
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 tenderness · where river meets flame, and devotion flows sweet.
