Osun:

Osun (Ozun), though recognized as one of the Orisha, differs from the others as he isn’t claimed as a guardian spirit. Instead, he functions as a vigilant watchman and protector of the orí, or the "head," of practitioners.

Osun’s primary responsibility is to warn against danger to both physical and spiritual well-being, as such he is regarded as a symbol of good health, balance, and stability. Within the home, Osun remains ever watchful, taking his place as a silent guardian who never sleeps. Traditionally he is positioned in elevated spaces such as high shelves or bookcases where he can oversee and monitor household activities.

Unlike other Orisha, Osun doesn’t have specific colors tied to him. Instead, he encompasses all colors, especially red, yellow, blue, and white, which are traditionally used in initiation rituals.

While he isn’t associated with protecting against illness, Osun’s warnings of danger are invaluable, particularly when it comes to averting sudden death or disaster. As such, his role is preventative rather than reactive, emphasizing caution and awareness.

As part of the Warriors, Osun shares offerings with Eleguá, Ogún, and Ochosi, accepting whatever is presented to the group as a collective, and his inclusion among the Warriors underscores his importance within the pantheon, where he fulfills his unique function of vigilance and protection for practitioners.
