Osogbo are the spirits of misfortune in the Santería and Lucumí faith, spirits who seem to be trying to bring us down. But rightly understood, these spirits do not stand against what is good but confront us with conditions that can strengthen us, motivate us, and bring great evolution to the world. Without misfortune we would never know what it means to be blessed. If we follow the prescriptions of the orishas we can overcome misfortune and bring ourselves back to balance.
