Oshun is the goddess deity, or orisha, of the Yoruba religion of West Africa. There are equivalent goddess figures in multiple cultures including as Oxum in Brazil and Ochun in Cuba. The origination story of the Oshun goddess is that she was one of 17 deities to be sent by the Supreme or lead god, Olodumare, to earth. Of the 17, she was the only female and the only of the deities who were able to begin to populate the earth.
 
At first, her male counterparts try to compete to achieve the task assigned by Olodumare, but when they see that only Oshun is able to fertilize and populate the earth, they begin to ask for her help. She responds by using her powers over water and love to fertilize and grow the earth's population and geography. Oshun is considered to be a goddess specifically of the river and is associated with the following characteristics:
 
 
Fertility: Oshun is believed to be the only goddess who could repopulate and regenerate the earth when it was failing. For Yoruba women who are struggling with their fertility, special prayers are offered to Oshun in hopes that her fertility will be given to them as well.
Love: Oshun is connected to the kind and mothering sense of love associated with the divine feminine.
Freshwater: Oshun is connected to all water on the earth, but she is particularly associated with fresh water from rivers.
