Oshun and Erinle, the orisha of the river banks and healing, were lovers whose union produced Logun-Ede, the young hunter-fisher deity who inherited traits from both parents.
Logun-Ede's fluid identity — shifting between river and forest, masculine and feminine — is the destiny his Ori chose before birth. Those whose Ori carries Logun-Ede's path share his gift for moving between worlds and transcending fixed categories.
Oshosi and Logun-Ede are both hunter orishas who wield the bow and arrow in the forest. In Candomblé and Santería, they are closely associated as divine hunters, though Oshosi pursues justice while Logun-Ede embodies beauty in the hunt.
Logun-Ede, the young orisha of hunting and fishing, alternates between the domains of his parents. He spends half the year in the river with his mother Oshun, learning her arts of beauty and charm, and half in the forest with his father Erinle.
Yemoja, as the great mother of waters, is honored alongside Logun-Ede in his river aspect. During the months Logun-Ede spends fishing in the sweet waters with Oshun, he moves within the broader aquatic domain that Yemoja governs.
