renaissanceamazon: I remember being in an Afro Brazilian dance class in 2007 with a teacher from Bahia and she was leading us through some orixa dances and she said “you know people think Oxchosi is a man because he is a hunter, but Oxhosi is really a woman.” And it makes sense. Ochosi is the left Handed Tracker. That could only be a woman. An Afro Indigenous Woman at that. The female hunters always had male spirits.Philly, 2007 -- source link
