Odun Olokun ( celebrating the wealth of the oceans) Olokun is an Orisha in Yoruba religion as well as a pantheon in Edo traditional religion. It is associated with the vast and deep sea, marshes and wetlands, and is protector of the African diaspora. It works closely with Oya (Deity of the Winds) and Egungun (Collective Ancestral Spirits) to herald the way for those that pass to ancestorship, as it plays a critical role in Iku, Aye and the transition of human beings and spirits between these two existences. The worshippers of Olokun are generally dressed in immaculate white attires with their faces coasted with white chalk ‘efun’. Festivals are celebrated worldwide in honor of Olokun.More
