I pray to Ossain Ju Ponte Canto dos Ancestrais Adaptation made by me of prayers to Ossain, taken from the internet. Ossain is the orixá of sacred leaves, medicinal and liturgical herbs. He is the holder of axé (strength, power, vitality). This axé is found in specific leaves and herbs. His symbol is an iron rod with seven points pointing upwards from the upper end. The one in the center is topped by the image of a bird.
