Domains of Logunedé
Forests, rivers, youth, abundance, duality, hunting and fishing
Logunedé is the son of Oxóssi and Oxum. For six months of the year he lives with his father in the forest, hunting with a bow and arrow; in the other six, he lives with his mother in the rivers, fishing and gathering the gold from the waters. For this reason he carries the duality: he is hunter and fisherman, he is forest and water, he is gold and green leaf.
