To Olokun we dedicate these Prayers ► to ask for a lot of Health and Protection

Olokun is an Orisha which is the foundation of Ifá and Osha and is related to the deep secrets of life and death. His devotees revere him as a powerful protector who helps to advance safely.

It is the Orisha that reigns this 2021 according to the Letter of the year published by the Yoruba Cultural Association of Cuba, revered as that powerful deity who provides health, prosperity and material evolution to men on the earthly plane.

What powers does Olokun symbolize in the Yoruba Religion?

It is also the Orisha of the ocean, the one that represents the sea in its most violent state, the waters stirred by storms and the dangerous and unknown dark bottoms.

Olokun is androgynous, half fish half man, compulsive, mysterious and violent. He has the ability to transform into others and his character is fearsome when enraged.

In nature it is symbolized by the depths of the sea and is the true owner of those funds that no one has been able to reach.

That is why it represents the marine secrets, since nobody knows what is at the bottom of the sea, only Olokun and Constitution, the great creator.

It also symbolizes the riches of the seabed and health. For this reason, Olokun is one of the most dangerous and powerful deities of the Osha-Ifá religion. Its name comes from Yorùbá Olókún (Oló: owner - Okún: Ocean).

According to Yoruba mythology, it is not known exactly who Olokun's parents are or if he was conceived by the union of a man and a woman.

Some say that it was created thanks to the power of a supreme being, therefore he represents the secrets of life and the seabed.
