Ossaim

The lord of sacred herbs

Day of the week: ThursdayVerde

Ossaim is the keeper of herbs and the axé of leaves. Without him, no magic happens, he holds the secret of healing through nature.

History

Tradition says all leaves belonged to Ossaim, until Iansã, with the wind, scattered them among the orishas. That is why he is consulted in every healing: without leaf, there is no axé.
