Ochun (also spelled Oshun) is the Yoruban river goddess or Orisha. She is in charge of romance, flirtation, seduction, love and marriage, fertility, money, and gold. She is the archetype of joy and pleasure.

Traditional offerings to Ochun include a dish of honey (taste it before serving), copper jewelry, river water, yellow candles, peacock feathers, five shiny copper pennies, fans, mirrors, cakes, oranges, eggs and pumpkins.

She is a Venus-like personality in the Yoruban pantheon, and in Haitian Voudou is known as Erzulie. In Haiti she is honored on Tuesdays and Thursdays with offerings of perfume and fancy expensive foods.
