Water is the sign of life, the source of purification and fertility. It possesses medicinal virtues and good health. Water is the source of inspiration.

Oceans are the power of strength, all life is ocean-born. In the ocean life exists therefore the ocean represents life.

Rivers represents the calm beauty of nature, its the sign of ease, grace and fluidity. Fast flowing rivers represent strength.

Butterflies a symbol of resurrection, for it disappears into a cocoon and appears dead, but emerges later far more beautiful and powerful than before.

Ibeyes (the twins of Oxum and Chango)

Maferefun,









From what I sort of understand through reading, the Ibeyes are the identical twins of Oxum and Chango. Like Eleggua they are practical jokers as well. There are 2 dolls to represent the Ibeyis, a boy dressed in red & white and a girl dressed in blue & white, but I'm still learning so in time I will learn more.





Anyway day 2 of another small blessings received bringing a smile to my face. I was able to pick up my layaway & bring home these 2 pots I think would be unique and beautiful to represent the Ibeyes. The surprise of finding a sopera for Yemaya and now this:







Bendicion,
