He is associated with Saint George in the Bahia region Ochosi (Oshosi) lives in the woods and is a great hunter and fisherman. He's also a warrior, a magician and a seer with shamanistic powers. Ochosi is the lord of justice, and the patron of those who have problems with the law. According to a pataki (sacred story), when Ochosi lived on earth as a human, he was given a special task by Eleguá: he needed to hunt and trap a rare bird that Orula wanted to give to Olofi as a gift. Ochosi was an expert hunter and he found the bird without a problem. He took it home and put it in a cage, and then went to tell Orula that he had the bird. While Olofi was out, his mother came home and found the bird in the cage. She thought it was meant for their dinner, so she killed and dressed the bird, and then she went to the market to buy some of the condiments she needed to cook it. Ochosi came home and saw the bird was dead, and he was very upset. He didn't know who had killed it, but he decided that he needed to go get another bird right away, so Orula would be able to give it to Olofi. Ochosi hunted and trapped a second bird and gave it to Orula and, together, they went to present the bird to Olofi. Olofi was so happy with the gift that he wanted to reward Ochosi, so he gave him a crown and made him an Oricha on the spot. He asked Ochosi if there was anything else he wanted, and the hunter replied, yes, he wanted to shoot an arrow into the air and have it pierce the heart of the person who killed the other bird. Olofi, all knowing, understood what Ochosi's words meant, so he asked if Ochosi was sure that's what he wanted. Yes, said Ochosi, I want justice, and Olofi granted his wish. Ochosi released an arrow and almost at once he heard his own mother cry out. The arrow had pierced her heart and killed her. Ochosi was terribly sad when he realized what he had done, but he also knew that justice had been done. Olofi knew then that Ochosi wouldn't hesitate to punish any wrong doing he came across, and he made it Ochosi's job to hunt for the truth and measure out justice in the world.
