Leilani Li And Eros — Orisha

Here’s a piece of interesting, evocative content blending (the Hawaiian goddess of lehua blossoms and the underworld’s rainbow) with Eros Orisha (a syncretic fusion of Eros, the Greek god of desire, and the Orisha energy of passion, music, and nature from Yoruba traditions). Title: Where Lehua Blossoms & Arrows Burn Premise: Leilani Li walks between two worlds — the volcanic crater where her sister’s soul rests beneath red ʻōhiʻa trees, and the spirit court where mortal passions are weighed. She is quiet, ancient, and bound by a vow never to pluck her own lehua blossom lest it rains on her lover’s grave.

Eros Orisha is neither Greek nor fully Yoruba — he is the crossroads of agbo (herbal magnetism) and eros (raw longing). His drum is a heartbeat. His arrows are dipped in honey and cayenne. He carries a iroko staff that sings the names of everyone who has ever loved against their better judgment. leilani li and eros orisha
