Oxum - Omer Gonen-Haela & Eli Kesem-Naharan ✬ אושום - עומר גונן-האלה ואלי קסם-נהרן

Oxum is sweet water, purity and open heart,
it connects us to beauty as a transforming healing force.

The story of this song begins and ends in Ritual.
Omer Gonen-Haela met Oxum 18 years ago in a medicinal ceremony in Brazil, and since than sang it hundreds of times…
Through a new and deepening connection with the Pantam, Omer reengaged with Oxum and created this new version of the song. Yishama, a global leader in quality Pantam creation, produced the recording the song. The video was shot in nature and held as a ritual, supported by a circle of friends committed to creating beauty, driven by old traditions and ancient wisdom. The center is an altar made of crystals built by the artist Roee Aminof especially for Oxum.

Altar: a digital space committed to supporting, hosting and creating music and art rooted in the ancient traditions of medicine and ritual while flowering in our modern times, sounds and possibilities.
Altar: all about the human connection. A supporting grid for communities who are willing to face the unknown future with trust and belief while respecting past generations. Communities based on the wisdom and knowledge surrounding us all - that have always been our guide, protector and mentor.
Everything we do in Altar is a constant ritual, holding the human spirit and life at the very center. Realizing the potential of joined intentions to dream and manifest.
