This Black Water Siren Studio exclusive represents the voodoo veve of
Erzulie Freda, the Goddess of Love.
AS SEEN on the CBS show "NCIS: New Orleans" featured my Erzulie Freda
charm in their Season 1 Episode 21 show.
The show was aired April 28,
2015, the episode is called "You'll Do".
Completely hand carved in intricate detail, then cast in solid bronze,
this charm is oxidized to bring out the detail and polished to a high shine.
It is detailed on both sides, and will look great no matter which way it is worn.
Durable
and hefty, this is an enduring piece of art that will stand the test of
time
and become a family heirloom for generations.
Comes with a sturdy jump ring bail to wear on a chain or add to a charm bracelet.
This does not include a chain.
Please contact me if you would like a chain to go with it for a small charge.
Charm itself measures 13/16" wide by 1-1/8" long. A little over 1/16" or 2mm thick.
This is solid bronze, which is composed of copper and tin. No coating or sealant has been applied.
Bronze naturally tarnishes over time due to exposure to environmental factors such as humidity and air quality.
If you find that your skin is turning green when wearing bronze it is because of the acidity of your skin,
exposure to chlorine or other salts, or certain ingredients in various applied cosmetics and lotions. The Goddess of love, sexuality, passion,pleasure and prosperity,
Erzulie
Freda is quite powerful in fulfilling these desires.
Described as one
of the most beautiful Lwas, she is notoriously vain, a touch lazy,
has
multiple lovers and prefers to receive lavish gifts of perfumes, sweet
cakes,
jewelry and flowers for her help with your requests.
Freda is the
sister of Erzulie Dantor, and her opposite in every way.
Where Dantor
is a hard working single mother, Freda is a glamor girl.
The mistress of
three powerful spirits - Ogoun, Agwe and Damballah - she is said
to be
the most powerful sorceress in the pantheon.
So pure and so good is
Freda, that nothing malefic may happen in Her presence.
She is
the Lwa that can make most things possible with Love and Success;
without her help, little can be accomplished, especially where
relationships are concerned.
All of our love spells are designed to
obtain her assistance and in turn,
thanking her with the appropriate
offerings.
Like with many Lwa, Erzulie has a darker side.
She can
be a bit of a drama Queen and enjoys encouraging fantasies; even if
some are not realistic.
In these cases, she can become very sad,
emotional and bitterly disappointed;
you can feel that way as well when
working with her.
Other aspects of Erzulie can include jealousy
and anger,
especially if ignored by someone when she is demanding their
attention.
This is why we must always please her and stay in her good
graces should we seek her assistance.
Catholic counterpart:
Virgin Mary. Due to the history of Vodou in America, the original
practitioners
were slaves and had to disguise their Spirits as members
of the Catholic Church in order to worship them.
Consequently, she was
most similar to The Virgin Mary, not because of the virginal or
immaculate conception
concepts, but because of her unconditional love
aspects, empathy, compassion
and willingness to help especially with
love issues and relationships.
Sacred days are Tuesday and Thursday
Favorite
Colors: Pink, Blue, Lavenders, Purple and Orange.
Try to use them
anytime you need her assistance. These colors can manifest with
clothing, altar items, candles, gifts, bottles and even food.
Offerings: Sweet Cakes, Pink Champagne, Perfume, Flowers or Beauty Products.
She loves anything beautiful and decadent.
Gemstones: Diamonds, gold
