“One does not look upon Osun without love, and the love with which one looks upon her is everything it should be. Of course she rouses desire, but that is hardly the end of it. One does not merely want her, he wants to protect her, to provide for her, to live his life in her presence, to please her, and to make her happy. He lives for her blessings, her teachings, and all that she could share with him.

The Goddess herself cannot but smile at the efforts of mortal men. She loves them as she loves every living creature. She needs nothing from them. She asks only that men should endeavor to treat their own wives and lovers with some trace of the good will shown to her.”

– Tonuk M’tono, Village Elder

Osun appears to be a voluptuous women in her mid-thirties. Her features are exquisite, and her demeanor is dignified beyond all imagining. She is the perfect lover, the perfect wife, and the perfect mother. Osun embodies the spirit of a loving home, and holds herself up as a symbol for those who would hope for such a home themselves.

Religion: Osun is revered in many circles, but she has few temples dedicated to her honor. Here and there, one may find a small and dedicated priesthood honoring the Goddess, but her greatest followers are healers and witch doctors, and even match-makers. But Osun does not lack for respect. She is honored most by young lovers everywhere, and especially those seeking to form a family. Expectant mothers are especially keen to win her blessings.
