Ọ̀ṣun's Sacred Mirror: Aligning Your Creative Practice to Your Long-Term Vision

You are the source of your creative vision. At Abstractly African, we hold the truth that your creative practice is far more than the work you produce — it is a journey of uncovering who you are and who you are becoming. Aligning your creative practice to your long-term vision begins with a return to yourself, through Spirit, and a deep recognition of the creative purpose you carry within.

This week’s encouragement, “Aligning Your Creative Practice to Your Long-Term Vision,” invites you to step into the divine unfolding of your life's calling. It encourages you to acknowledge that the path of your creative evolution is one of self-discovery and alignment. Inspired by Ọ̀ṣun/ Oshun, the Yoruba Òrìṣà of love, beauty, and sweet waters, we turn to her sacred mirror — a vessel of deep revelation. Through Ọ̀ṣun’s mirror, we invite you to see the parts of yourself that existed before you were named. We ask: Who are you beneath the surface? By sitting with this reflection, you tap into a boundless well of wisdom and uncover the truth of who you are. From this place of clarity, you are able to see yourself through the image of your cosmic counselors (the Òrìṣà and your Ancestors), and tap into the long-term vision etched into your spirit lifetimes before you arrived here.

At Abstractly African, we are also unfolding our long-term vision: to create a living room for artists, thought-leaders, and community-builders, where culturally-rooted tools for personal transformation and collective healing are co-created and shared. This vision is deeply connected to your own creative journey. Just as you are on a path of inner clarity, we too are walking this journey of alignment together.

When you uncover who you truly are, you begin to see your long-term vision with clarity. It is from this place of understanding that you can:

• Choose how you want to feel on your creative journey — because the energetic vibration you carry becomes the foundation for your evolution.

• Align daily rituals and rhythms with the energy you wish to embody, turning everyday moments into stepping stones toward sustainable, consistent progress.

• Engage with a community of mystics, scientists, and change-makers who help you shape and refine your vision, offering wisdom and support along the way.

  
  

You are a vital part of this divine unfolding. Your long-term vision for your creative practice is connected to the greater vision of Abstractly African. Together, we are building a vibrant, soul-centered community where we can all grow, co-create, and heal.

As you gaze into your own mirror this week, ask yourself:

What would it feel like to live inside the highest version of my creative destiny?

The answer is already alive within you. Let’s uncover it together.
