Priestess of Oshun in the Yoruba Lucumi Tradition
Chant For Self-Esteem
Earth, Water, Fire, and Air,
Within me all things are there.
Flesh on my bones is like the Earth,
It's soft, but strong - and full of worth.
The blood that flows within my veins
Is like the ocean, river, and rain.
My spirit soars and takes me higher -
Here is where I keep my fire.
My breath and thoughts are like the air,
I can do everything and go anywhere.
Earth, water, fire and air,
Within me all things are there,
And so I pledge unto myself -
Power, love, health and wealth.
Luisah Teish
