Olokun
African Traditions
The Orisha of the deep ocean and unfathomable wealth. Olokun rules the mysterious depths of the sea and guards the treasures hidden beneath the waves.
Olokun was present at the creation of the world, ruling the primordial waters before dry land existed. After Oduduwa created the earth, Olokun remained master of the oceans.
Olokun personifies the vast, unknowable depths of the ocean. Unlike the surface waves ruled by Yemoja, Olokun commands the dark abyss where light never reaches and treasures accumulate undisturbed.
