Ochun Anklet

This anklet designed in honor of Ochun, the Orisha Goddess of love and flowing waters. This piece comes in a set of 2 and is perfect for those who would like to honor her and would prefer an alternative to waist beads. If you’re not familiar with Orishas, they are a group of deities worshipped in the Yoruba religion, which originated in West Africa and spread to other parts of the world through the African diaspora. Ochun is one of the most well known Orishas and is a part of the Seven African Powers.

💛 Ochun controls everything that flows, from rivers, to money, to love. She is the granter of wishes, grower of love, and giver of laughter. Similar to Yemaya, Ochun is associated with motherhood, abundance and fertility. She is also commonly known for her ability to heal, and is associated with herbalists. Her signs and symbols include: the colors yellow and gold, the numbers 5 and 15, oranges, sunflowers, honey, cinnamon, cowrie shells and peacocks.

All of my anklets are handmade and beaded on stretchy cord. These anklets of course can also be used as bracelets, which is why I am offering them in various sizes. For reference, 9 in. is the average ankle size and the average wrist size is 7.5 in.
