ORISHA OSOWUSI | OXÓSSI | OSHOSSI

KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM, DISCERNMENT, NOURISHMENT

Oshossi is the majesty of the Forest itself. The sap that runs in the vein of the trees is the blood of Oshossi. The eagle’s vision, the jaguar’s smell, the bee’s intuition, are all Oshossi’s senses. The pulse of the Forest people's drum is Oshossi’s heart beat. With the Orisha Oshossi comes all colors of the powerful forest indigenous ancient Guides called Caboclos and Caboclas. The Forest wisdom inhabits the third eye of all humans. Oshossi’s energy is right between the eyebrows increasing our intuition and enlightening our discernment. Oshossi is always providing the wisdom of the power plants to teach us how to follow our Nature and become the true best version of ourselves. As well as, an abundant feast to make life a remarkable journey of the soul.​
