Love is a wonderful gift from Oshun. It is the reason mankind hasn’t died out. Every creature from the tiniest microbe to the largest sea mammal seeks some sort of union and affection in its way. As crucial as love is to life though, it can be wrought with fear and frustration. To help clear away some confusion and figure out whether you are compatible with someone you love, or if there may be some problem, I do a love reading. It’s a fast way to at least know where things stand at the moment.
This “automatic” love reading engine is fueled by daily observance as well as special offerings to Orisha Orunmila, Ogun, and Sheloya’s personal spirit allies, to promote accuracy. It is provided for cultural and entertainment purposes only, and not meant to replace professional advice or therapy. There is very little chance that the reading will come out totally wrong, but if it seems a bit grim it doesn’t mean all is definitely lost. On the other hand, even if it is relatively positive, it doesn’t mean that nothing can go wrong. Though the road may be somewhat predestined, how we choose to travel and our attitude about it is still up to the individual.
If you just want to know quickly what the Orishas have to say about your relationship right now, here it is:
Eshu has closed the way for the relationship to move forward.
Things are staying as they are, or it will stop at this point.
This means that there is some blockage or that Eshu is himself blocking the way. Be advised that this could be for your protection.
Your Ancestors disapprove for your protection.
Some time ago, a blessing was placed on one or more of your Ancestors in order to protect them and their descendants from harm. This blessing is still active. In order to fulfill the blessing, they must repel the object of your desires. It doesn’t matter how much you want them. The Ancestors will not let them continue to be a part of your life because they will bring you some pain or loss that you are protected from.
The most common blessings in this regard are blessings of wealth and protection from poverty, and blessings of strength, health, and long life. Some blessings or protections may be a bit outdated though.
If Eshu approved, but you get this message, perhaps updating will solve the problem.
To update or change your family protections, you will need to give special offerings. This is the time to approach a professional witch, root worker, priest, or mystic.
Oshun demands investment.
Oshun, the Orisha of love is also the Orisha of prosperity, and a spouse of the Orisha of currency, Aje Shaluga. There is a saying, “There is no ebbo without Aje Shaluga.”
In African belief systems, we never go to the spirits emptyhanded. This would be disrespectful. Metaphysically, across all belief systems, esoterics and mystics understand that energy flows, and if we want our prayers answered, the energy to make things manifest must come from somewhere. So we give offerings.
If you get this message, it could mean that you need to give offerings to Oshun. If you are taking or anticipating the provider role in your relationship, it could also mean that you need to invest more resources in your partner or potential partner. Take them on a real date. Buy them gifts. Do something to show that you are willing to invest resources in your relationships.
Also give offerings to Oshun since she is the provider of romantic and bonding sentiments.
If you are the more conventionally feminine, homemaking, and nurturing partner in your relationship, this message could mean that it is your loved one who is too stingy with their resources. Their lack of investment indicates either a lack of commitment, or that you are not expressing your needs enough.
You have no call to be insecure. Your worth is not measured in how much money you make or don’t, same as theirs. You love them even though they are giving you little or nothing materially. They should love you the same.
The only difference is one of delegation of roles. Whatever gender either of you are, if you are the one who tends to cook, make sure everyone is well, clean up, and take care of people’s practical needs, your partner needs to be supportive, or this relationship will not make it into the long term.
If they make you feel bad for asking for things like going on a real date or things to make your life easier so you have time and energy for them, something is wrong there. Change it sooner rather than later or you are teaching them a bad lesson about life and love. “Love is a verb.”
The Love Spell Triad
If you have ordered a love spell here or elsewhere in the past, take this reading as a reminder that the Spirits are still with you, and that you are on the right track. It may however, be time for you to give some offerings to the Orishas or other Spirits who are working on your behalf.
It could also be a reminder to use the supplies you were sent to help keep the energy of your spell flowing in the proper direction. Maybe it took longer than you hoped, so you stopped doing the maintenance. Fix this as soon as possible…especially in the area of keeping your Oshun and/or Shango energy high.
- Clean your home.
- Use the protection items, oils, and other supplies you were sent.
- ALWAYS follow a good grooming and beauty regime. When you get up, brush your teeth, take a shower, etc. There should never be a time when you are not looking the best that you can under the circumstances.
- Dance on Fridays.
- Eat sweets and do pleasurable activities on Saturdays.
Don’t let this slip because these things are very important. Also remember that just as you are accountable to the Spirits, so is the person you love. The Spirits will take care of you because you respect them. If your prospective lover does not then they may send you a better partner. So don’t be discouraged. You’re gonna be alright. Just keep up the energy! 🙂
Blessings and Ase!
This does not necessarily mean that everything is okay or that all hope is lost. It’s just speaking as to how things are at this moment, or what could be if things continue the way they are going.
You are not powerless.

Blessings and Ashé!
