Moma Chola Goddess of the River

MAMA CHOLA: Mama Chola is a beautiful and powerful witch who rules the river, beauty, money and love. She is sensuality, sexuality and gracefulness. Mama Chola is the power of two things coming together. All of her offerings should be taken to a river. Mirrors, peacock feathers, honey, eggs, white wine and mimosa are some of her favorite things and she favors the colors of amber, yellow and orange.

This is relative to my Dream of the River, while practicing initiation energies it is expected to be visited by other correspondences of the primary Deity/ArchAngel. Listen to their message with an open heart and mind.

MAMA CHOLA is not exactly a camino of Ochun. MAMA CHOLA is the Congo aspect of Ochun. She is also called in palo, CHOLA WANGA. This is an example of the mixing of two different tribal religious heritages. MAMA CHOLA is not an Orisha. She is an MPUNGO. MPUNGOS are the different orisha equivalents in PALO MAYOMBE or the CONGO rites as they evolved in CUBA. MAMA CHOLA has attibutes of Ochun, but also has spirits of the dead that work together. The true and original palo traditions really only work with spirits of the dead that are placed in cauldrons and other recepticles to work for their owners. None the less, MAMA CHOLA is powerful and some attributes of Ochun, so we include her here. There are other "prendas" surrounding Mama Chola in the picture. The yellow tinaja or yellow ceramic recepticle is Mama Chola in the picture.
