What is Osun in Santería?

Osun is the Orisha who watches over a person's head and well being. In Lucumí practice Osun is received along with the Warriors, Elegguá, Oggún and Ochosi, and is represented by a staff that must always stand upright. If Osun falls, it's taken as a warning that needs attention.

What is an Osun de extensión?

An Osun de extensión is a full height standing Osun, much taller than the small Osun that comes with the Warriors. Its four sections fit together so the staff can be adjusted, which makes it easier to place in a home, an igbodu or a temple.

Who is it for?

This piece is for practitioners whose godparent or house calls for a standing Osun, and for religious houses setting up for ceremony. Because Osun is a consecrated Orisha, the staff should be prepared by a qualified priest before it's used. Talk with your godparent or a babalawo before you order so you get the right piece for your path.
