Ochòsi
The hunter

Ochòsi
He is the third member of the group of Orishas known as the Guerreros, and he is handed over together with Eleggua, Oggun, and Osun, the arrow of justice, to protect the one who receives this initiation, to open and smooth their path. Ochosi is a hunter who, in order to pursue his prey, explores unknown and rugged territories. In the hierarchy of the Orisha, his role is that of intermediary and interpreter for Obatalà, with whom he is closely connected. His colors are blue and yellow, his material representation is that of a rooster, and his placement within the house of the initiates is in an elevated place.
