Oxóssi, son of Iemanjá and brother of Xangô, is the guardian of the forests, the skilled archer who travels the forests with unparalleled precision. His story is intertwined with the richness of the forests and the promise of abundance they provide. Legend has it that, with his sharp spear, Oxóssi blazed trails in the forests, ensuring sustainability and balance.

In Yoruba culture, Oxóssi is venerated as the Orixá of hunting, abundance and prosperity. His presence is celebrated on Thursdays, days when the green of hope and renewal is exalted. The number five is sacred to Oxóssi, representing the union of the hunter's five keen senses.

Oxóssi, in the African diaspora, often finds syncretism with Saint Sebastian, the warrior saint of the Catholic tradition. This fusion reveals the ability of Yoruba culture to adapt, keeping its essence alive even in distant lands.

Today, Oxóssi is invoked to seek balance and prosperity. Its green mantle is a call to connection with nature and harmony with the cycles of life. Oxóssi's well-aimed arrow symbolizes not only the hunter's skill, but also the ability to direct our efforts to achieve objectives with precision.

Nowadays, Oxóssi remains the guardian of the forests and the provider of abundance, reminding us of the importance of respecting nature and living in harmony with the world around us. May the green light of Oxóssi illuminate our path, guiding us on the journey in search of abundance and prosperity.
