Who is Oxum and why pray to her?

Oxum is the goddess of love and waterfalls, worshipped in Afro-Brazilian religions. Mother of the orixá Logun Éde, she carries with her a symbol of maternity and love. She was the wife of Oxóssi, Ogum and Xangô and made everyone who looked in her mirror fall madly in love with her.

Many people think that Oxum is a more sensitive goddess and end up confusing her femininity with being too emotional. But, in truth, Oxum is a fearless sorceress and an exemplary warrior, fighting against and defeating her enemies with only her mirror.

The mother of the rivers was such a strategist in life and fell so madly in love that she made Obá cut off her own ear to lose the love of Xangô and wrapped herself in honey and leaves so that Oxóssi, thought she was a woman of the forest and fell in love with her.

Lashing

Much is said about love tying, however, very few people know what this means. Those who have little information end up doing a spell that they have no knowledge and, unfortunately, falling into the hands of several bad individuals. Check below a little more about these moorings.

What is the difference between prayer and binding?

The binding occurs when you want to force someone you love to form a relationship with you. No spirit of light accepts to do this work, which causes obsessive spirits to take the lead in this ritual, causing your loved one to go crazy and be with you without loving you or really wanting you.

Besides, when you make a tying, you are loaded with negative feelings, needing to take care of the religion and even initiate yourself to the orixá to get rid of these effects.

In prayer, things are lighter, because you are praying for positive things, for the person to come back if it is her will and the will of the orishas, and not because you are being forced. Prayers and some spells that are not moorings also remove the negative things and other obstacles that hinder you to stay with your love.

But in such cases, you need to be constantly praying and performing the rituals, until it has its desired effect.

Can the couple be happy with tying?

It is very difficult for a couple to be happy with a binding. This is because it does not clear your paths of obstacles, does not show you your mistakes in a healthy way and does not make the one you love learn from his mistakes.

The binding only forces the person to stay on your side, even if there is no love and being against your own will, bringing an excessive jealousy and attracting obsessors to the couple's life.
