Which Orisha Crowns You?

Oshun - Oshun is the Goddess of Love and the Rivers. She radiates beauty and teaches us how to love and please our bodies. Oshun belonged to no man and believed all was fair in games of love. Oshun is the Goddess of Divination. When you seek guidance through the art of divination call on Oshun."Oshun is brass and parrot feathers in a velvet skin. Oshun is white cowrie shells on black buttocks. Her eyes sparkle in the forest, like sun on the river. She is the wisdom of the forest. She is the wisdom of the river. Where doctors fail, she cures with fresh water. Where medicine fails, she cures with fresh water. She feeds the barren woman with honey, and her dry body swells up like a juicy coconut. Oh, how sweet, how sweet is the touch of a childs hand." -Yoruban chant to Oshun

About me:
Myspace Layouts by the Original Myspace Pimper

I'm quarky, funny, intelligent and able to kick some serious ass. Not afraid of a good chai tea. Caffeine freak. Cat lover. Charter member of the Sisterhood of Propetual Indulgence...

My professional bio: A Howard University Alum, she has an impressive background in the marketing and event planning industries. Erica started her career by working extensively with the fundraising and marketing initiatives in the campaign department of United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania. Her ambition and professional goals led her into the special events arena with The Marian Anderson Award and The Wilma Theater. After two years as an independent marketing & events consultant working with local organizations like Millennium Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Music Conference and The Philadelphia Inquirer, Erica plunged into the fine dining arena with the internationally acclaimed Roy’s Hawaiian Fusion Restaurant in Philadelphia and posh night life scene Denim Lounge. In a dramatic change of careers, utilizing her writing skills, she currently serves as an analysist and editor for an independant financial research firm. For creative release, she can be heard on the radio airwaves as a voice over talent with VURB here in Philadelphia.

This really IS funny...
Your Personality Is
Rational (NT)


You are both logical and creative. You are full of ideas.
You are so rational that you analyze everything. This drives people a little crazy!

Intelligence is important to you. You always like to be around smart people.
In fact, you're often a little short with people who don't impress you mentally.

You seem distant to some - but it's usually because you're deep in thought.
Those who understand you best are fellow Rationals.

In love, you tend to approach things with logic. You seek a compatible mate - who is also very intelligent.

At work, you tend to gravitate toward idea building careers - like programming, medicine, or academia.

With others, you are very honest and direct. People often can't take your criticism well.

As far as your looks go, you're coasting on what you were born with. You think fashion is silly.

On weekends, you spend most of your time thinking, experimenting with new ideas, or learning new things.
