Brief history and festival
During the life of the mortal Osun, she served as queen consort to King Shango of Oyo.
Following her posthumous deification, she was admitted to the Yoruba pantheon as an aspect of
a primordial divinity of the same name.
She is the patron saint of the Osun River in Nigeria, which bears her name. The river has its
source in Ekiti State, in the west of Nigeria, and passes through the city of Osogbo, where OsunOsogbo Sacred Grove, the principal sanctuary of the deity, is located. Osun is honored at the
Osun-Osogbo Festival, a two-week-long annual festival that usually takes place in August, at the
Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove on the banks of the river.
Osun is one of the 401 Yoruba gods.
