birth of the Orisha

Ochosi and Oxum decided to separate even though they knew they would have a child. Even though they loved each other, their tastes, interests and customs caused them to separate. Before the child was born, they established that the child would spend 6 months with each of them, so they could both stay close to the child and teach him hunting and fishing. With that, he came to be called prince of the forest and expert hunter.

Logunedé and his mother’s separation

Active like any child, Logunedé played and had fun with his mother who always explained to him to stay away from the deep waters of the rivers, since Obá inhabited these waters and his hatred for Oxum could result in harm to his son. As Oxum already imagined, Logunedé one day disobeyed his mother and Obá took the opportunity trying to drown Oxum’s son.

Afraid and not knowing what to do, he asked Olorum for help, who managed to save the child. But the Orixá judged that the area between Oxum and Obá was one of great conflict, so he handed over Logunedé to Iansã who created it with Ogun as if he were their son.
