Oshun dances joyfully in the sweet waters of the Sacramento river, dressed in her colors of pure white and pumpkin orange, adorned with a belt of shining brass coins and peacock feathers. Five is Oshun's sacred number, and she wears 5 tinkling brass bracelets on each arm, which echo the sounds of the flowing water. A large brass mirror floats in the upper left corner, reminiscent of the radiant sun, with native California Poppies bursting forth above a mystical remote waterfall cascading down a lush green hillside in Dunsmuir, California.
This devotional representation of Oshun is shown in the Mt Shasta Goddess Temple’s Siskiyou County landscape against the backdrop of Mossbrae Falls, a hidden destination in the heart of the Cascade Wonderland. Oshun’s powers of charm, abundance, enchantment, and magic are all present in this depiction of carefree joy in the most precious of earthly places: a clean source of fresh, potable water. The viewer is invited to remember that sacred beauty and the life-giving waters of riparian environments are both worth protecting.
The Mt Shasta Goddess Temple is committed to honouring the Great Mother through acts of spirit, beauty, and service, and we embrace opportunities to help shape a better world for women. Our annual devotional cycle dedicated to Goddesses from many world cultures invites our membership to reflect on the diversity of the female divine, and our practices and teachings inspire women of all colors, shapes, sizes, and backgrounds to discover the divinity within. In our Temple, we believe that every woman is an earthly embodiment of the Goddess.
