Olokun

Olokun is highly praised for their ability to give great wealth, health, and prosperity to their followers.

Communities in both West Africa and the African diaspora view Olokun variously as female, male, or androgynous.

[2] According to Yoruba traditions about their divine dynasty, Olokun - in her female incarnation - was the senior wife of Emperor Oduduwa.

In this respect, Olokun is similar to Odudua and Orunmilá; they held great importance in West Africa but play a minor role in Afro-Brazilian religion.

The veneration of Olokun has been revived in the late 20th and early 21st century through visits to Brazil by West African priests.
