Regent Orisha: Eshu

Keywords: Spiritual protection against all odds; victory and success ahead; good choices and decisions blessed by the Orishas

The positive aspects of Odu Okaran brings the strength and protection of the Orishas, stating that all choices and decisions made at this time will have their protection and blessings. More than that, it is through their blessings that the victories of your destiny are assured. Just remember to give thanks and honor what you have accomplished until now, practicing gratitude and creating a positive cycle of achievements from now on.

Eshu is the single regent of this Odu. Lord of contrasts, god of movement and communication, it is he who mediates our relationship with the other Orishas, and there is no path that can be accomplished without Eshu having acted beforehand to take our desires to heaven and bring the Orishas’ graces back. Therefore, whatever your doubts or anxieties at the moment, calm your heart: what Eshu gives, only he can take away.

However, remember that even with divine protection, we are always subject to the weather of fate and therefore care and strategy are never too much. Just because the gods say “Yes,” you can’t take success for granted. After all, even if they lead the way and protect you from danger, it is you who will have to walk this journey, recognize the deviations ahead and avoid them as best you can.

Even so, it’s time to celebrate! Fate smiles on you and it’s time to reap the rewards of all the effort you’ve made to fulfill your wishes so far. Trust and move forward: happiness and success will come soon!

Okaran’s empowering Ritual: On a Waxing Moon Monday, right after waking up, mix a cup of cassava flour with 3 tablespoons of palm oil and throw it on the street in front of your home or workplace, asking for Eshu to protect you and open your paths to success.
