Who is she?????????????

Question

Who is Osun and what does Osun ba'le o mean?
I heard some people singing that?

Answer 1

Osun is the goddess of love and fertility. She is the goddess of sweet waters and all things sweet. She is the giver of children along with Oba, Oya and the mother of all orisa Yemonja.
Osun is the giver of twins whose patron is Ibeji.
Osun is the essence of woman and feminity. When you hare having troubles of the heart call on her, when you are in need of money call on her, when you are barren call on her for she will give you all that you desire. She has her own river in Nigera and barren woman take offerings to her there so they could be given the gift of having children.
You are a Trinidadian so you know that they mixed the orisa with catholic saints, so she is better known as St Phelomine over there.
I hope you attended the festival last month.
Osun ba'le o means Osun, i touch ground before you. There is also Osun wa'le o which means Osun please come in.
