The importance of documentation, whether in photos or videos, for the festivities of African-origin temples is of utmost importance to preserve this ancient tradition in Brazil. Ajodun de Oxóssi is a festival in commemoration of the Orixá Oxóssi, lord of the forests, hunting, abundance and knowledge. In this documentary video, I record the importance of this celebration, which reveres Oxóssi as the guardian of the forests and the beings that inhabit them, connecting his energy to the preservation and balance of nature; Oxóssi is the archetype of the hunter, symbolizing the search for sustenance, self-knowledge and wisdom. About Ajodun de Oxóssi, a festival rich in tradition and meaning, celebrated in Candomblé temples celebrating the abundance represented by the abundance of fruits, which brings prosperity.
