Osoosi Vs Ogun by Babalawos(m): 7:45am On Sep 11, 2017

Today I will be telling you the itan of Òsóòsì and Ògún. Òsóòsì and Ògún where enemies because of a Sisán that Èsù had provoked but Ògún had a similar problem, even though nobody could make trails in the bush as fast as Ògún could, he was not able to kill his prey as Òsóòsì could.

So both rivals went to the bush and started talking to each other, while they were talking they saw a deer, quickly Òsóòsì shoot an arrow that went through his throat and killed the deer.

Òsóòsì told Ògún that he could not reach the catch because of the bush, Ògún grabbed his bowie knife and made a trail as fast as a blink of an eye.

Really exited of what they had discovered, they shared the catch and realized that they where nothing as long as they stood apart from each other.

They booth went home to Òrúnmila and made a pact. That’s why Òsóòsì and Ògún are always together, Òsóòsì the hunter and Ògún the master of the Iron.

The Spiritual forces that are the foundations of Òsóòsì’s role in the spiritual kingdom are connected to the search of the balance between itself and the world.

I have lost count. Why don't you visit my shrine and count them?

I love these stories, much better than Noah and the flood.

How will you lose count of how many deities you have in your shrine? So if someone steals one of the deities how will you know? Just say you don't want to tell me how many deities you worship so I will visit your shrine


You can't have more than seven. Tell me their names!
