Ọsanyin (Yoruba: Ọ̀sanyìn, rendered Osaín/Ossain/Ossaím in Latin America, Ague (Age) in Fon)[1] is the orisha that has dominion over all leaf, herb, and nature. He is also known for healing and magic, and is popularly considered as both a herbalist and a magician. He is the creator of Onishegun. Osanyin is known as a powerful wizard and master of all spells and crafts found in the wild and untamed areas of nature.[2] In America, he is syncretized with Saint Joseph. Osanyin is described as embodying the features of leaf and herb, representing causes, healing, magic, knowledge, and many other attributes found within leaf and herb.
