Oxum was the Orixá who rescued the sky from the furious Oyá. When all the Orixás had fled, Oxum ascended to the heavens and convinced Oxalá (Obatala) to return to Earth. For this reason, she is called "the one who reconciles." She is also the mother of the wealthy and the only Orixá who can deal with the powerful Iami Oxorongá (ancestral witches).
Lady of Gold, true love, fertility, beauty and prosperity
