In Yorùbá spirituality, Òṣóòsì, the Orìṣà of hunting, precision, and justice, holds a profound place as a guide for those seeking clarity, purpose, and alignment in their lives. Known as a master tracker and a guardian of the wilderness, Òṣóòsì’s essence extends beyond the physical hunt, serving as a metaphorical compass for setting and achieving intentions. His attributes offer a framework for focus, balance, and determination in navigating life’s complexities.

The Symbolism of Òṣóòsì
Òṣóòsì is depicted as a skilled archer with unmatched precision, representing the ability to identify a target and achieve it with unwavering focus. His tools—especially the bow and arrow—are symbolic of setting clear goals and the discipline required to pursue them. As a hunter, he embodies self-reliance, adaptability, and a deep connection to nature, reminding us of the importance of being attuned to our surroundings and inner selves.

The forest, where Òṣóòsì thrives, represents both mystery and opportunity. It is a space where one must navigate the unknown with courage and strategy, much like the challenges we face when setting and working toward our intentions.

Stop calling them Yoruba. Their original name is Lukumi

OneOnland:
Oh, he's one of my favorite gods. The god of precise hunting, and also quite the path finder.

Ogun, Oya, Osanyin, Osoosi, Esu Odara, and Obatala in that order are the gods of Yoruba I'm most fascinated about.

Meanwhile in 9ja, bandits have chased away all the ancestors and gods from their place of abode, while other countries help us to preserve our culture

HydraFeeds:
Great!

Association of Yorubas religion should lobby for a day dedicated to celebrating all the Orishas so that it can be more pronounced.

Also ,they need to fight for the Esu misrepresentation in Abrahamic religions .

Esu is not Satan/Devil .

Ok, I appreciate Ifa, Ifa is like divine. While Orunmila is called a god, I don't like to liken him as one, but a wise sage, and his own place in my radar is divine. Like, he holds the same place as the father, Oduduwa.
