Oxum Apara ide
This is an idé made for an old friend who is about to crown his second Oshun. Oshun Ibu Akuaro, also called Aparo or Acuaro is Oshosi’s wife. She is a hunter and uses a net. She also takes the skins of birds, such as the quail and pheasant. There are several different ways of making the beads for this path of Oshun. My favorite is this one that incorporates mother of pearl and green. I think it is very elegant. The idé is ten strands, Czech glass beads, gold, mother of pearl, and red coral in various sizes.
