Description
This photo is a superposition of all orishas, deities created by one God.
Exu, the messenger, the contact point between the Orishas and humans;
Hopefully, the lord of strength, the master of the power of life.
Oshun: fresh water;
Iemanj�: the queen of the salt water fish;
Iansa: winds, heavy rains, lightning;
Xango: the power of thunder and fire caused by lightning when (a legend says that "without Ians�, XanGo does not fire ...") comes "to Earth;
Or Ogun Ogun: Lord of ways, the pioneer of ways, Lord of iron;
Oxossi: the Orisha Ode, the Orisha hunter, lord of wealth 'table, lord of the game;
Oss�e: the Orisha of leaves and no leaves, nothing is possible in Umbada or Candomble, the owner, preserver, of woods and forests, leaves, medicinal herbs of worship;
Oba: the warrior, the force of freedom;
Nana: Lady of the mud, the muddy waters of the junction between the river and the sea, source of life, and lady's death;
Obaluay�: "The owner of the earth, the Lord of Earth", the Orisha of disease, lord of the dead (because it has a legend that was the only Orisha Obaluay� that dominated death, Iku) is the one who takes away the disease, but also one that gives the disease.
Oxumar�: is the Orisha of the rainbow, one of the points of connection between the Aye (Terra) and Orun (Heaven) also represents the wealth, well-being.
I hope that their shadow falls on everyone!
