Ochosi is the Santeria Orisha that represents the forces of nature and justice. He is the patron of justice, hunters, prisoners and the accused. Ochosi is a great magician and seer; as well as a warrior, hunter and fisherman. He symbolizes balance, judgment, and reason. Ochosi's colors are blue and orange, or blue and yellow,  and his numbers are three and seven.  His power  symbol is a bow and arrow. He is described as a beautiful, wild hunter who wears skins.

Ochosi "owns" all things associated with hunting and fishing. As such, his altar should include deer antlers, three arrows, three dog figurines, and a small mirror. Offerings should consist of smoked fish, deer, and game birds. He is the son of Yemaya, and brother of Eleggua and Ogun. He is a great tracker and provides men with meat and medicine from the forest but he does not live with them. Ochosi is prayed to when looking for justice or something such as a job or a house. He is also the patron of those who work with animals, and in particular, with dogs.

Ochosi is likened to several saints, including Saint Norbert in Cuba, Saint Sebastian in the Rio de Janeiro area of Brazil, and   Saint George in the Bahia region.

To devotees of the Afro-Caribbean religion Santeria, October 25 is the feast day of Ochosi, and April 23 in the Lucumi tradition.
