It's Osain del Monte, the Orisha to whom we ask for help and protection against disease and illness.
He is prayed above all to ward off evil, using the properties of nature itself.
If we are going to use natural remedies, we entrust ourselves to this Orisha looking for her support to grant us the ashé of herbs and thus drive away the negative energies that surround us.
But we must know that Osain is an extremely proud Orisha and he likes that his devotees also seek him out to thank him for his blessings, for his support in curing diseases and caring on the path of life.
We must also know that he likes the offerings of goat, jicotea, rooster, griffin and talking birds. Also, he loves smoking and tobacco smoke.
Why is it important to thank the God of nature Ozain?
Osain in the Yoruba religion is recognized as the Orisha who knows all the secrets and benefits that herbs and plants provide, and the powers and ashé they represent.
It is he, who has the energy and spiritual balance of the human being based on the knowledge that was provided by Olodumare and that is essential in all Ifá ceremonies.
Due to the great power that he represents in the Osha-Ifá Rule, he is an orisha who deserves respect, and gratitude should be offered to him for all the protections and virtues that nature gives us.
- To talk to Osain, the best thing is to go to the mountain or the undergrowth, its natural temple and there meditate and pray in a low voice, thanking all that it has granted us.
Let us know that Osain is an Orisha who likes tranquility and solitude, so we must choose a secluded place within the mountains if we want to communicate directly with him.
Remember: We cannot go to him with dishonest intentions, because he is proud and can punish us if he thinks we are deceiving him, much less bother him without reason.
So we pray to Ozain in gratitude to your blessings:
We must pray to him with faith from the heart, showing him true gratitude, from humility and love, he is just and will listen to our prayers.
This is a prayer of thanks to Osain del Monte for when we look for him in nature:
