Brief Bio

In Yoruba mythology, Oshunmare (also known as Ochumaré or Oxumaré in Latin America) is an Orisha (spirit or deity) associated with the rainbow and the serpent. He is seen as a symbol of creation, human procreation, and the connection between the earthly and spiritual realms. Oshunmare is often depicted as a serpent, sometimes with both masculine and feminine features, and is linked to concepts of continuity, permanence, and duality.
