LOGUN EDE

Logun-Ede is often referred to as the prince of the Orishas. He is the son of Oshun and Oshosi, he is an androgyne or he is male but crossdresses for half of the year. It is pretty much agreed though, that the reason for this is that he lives between worlds, with his father half of the year, and his mother the other half of the year. So for half of the year, he lives and hunts on the river, and the other half of the year, he lives like a princess in the forest

It was difficult for him to find love as the women he tend to fall for all wanted a piece of the god of thunder(Shango). The one who finally stuck by him in the end was Yewa, so they are very close and are said share a mutual disdain for Shango

The energy of Logun-Ede is untouched, untested beauty. He does not walk. He floats. It is not that he does not do things that should get his hands dirty or wound him. It is that he is so beautiful, dirt is ashamed to stick to his skin, and even the most vicious predators are too enchanted to bear down on him with their teeth. They allow themselves to be stabbed, strangled, and trapped by him because he is just that good. In human incarnations, the Sun refuses to age him

He accepts offerings of corn, eggs and coconut but only when beautifully garnished
