Oshumare also protects children. When I had a reading by an initiate of Santeria she told me that Oshumare and Shango watches over my children. I knew Shango protected by children cause I asked him to as he is with me anyway. That's a blessing for the Orishas to be in our lives.

I often dream of the rainbow serpent and didn’t know who it was or why I’m dreaming of it. It was always protecting me or trying to get my attention❤️ Asé

ORISHA OSHUMARE
In African spirituality there is also a rainbow-serpent connected to the Orisha Oshumare. Oshumare is a rainbow serpent. He is one of the Orishas that changes sexes. Some Orisha such as Oshosi have a path of the opposite sex. Oshumare is male part of the year and female part of the year. In some cases, he spends half the year with a male top and female bottom, and half with a female top and male bottom. Damballah Wedo is his counterpart among the Fon based Lwa of the Vodoun spirituality in Benin republic. Like Damballah Wedo, he/she is a rainbow serpent. He/She is the messenger from Olodumare.
In African spirituality, Olodumare is essentially unreachable. Thus the Orisha. They are our intermediaries and helpers, because Olodumare has more important things to do than worry about the lives of humans. Oshumare is something of an exception to that generality. He brings messages to us directly from Olodumare. As such He/She is very important for our welfare.
When a Spirit Medium is working, it is very often Oshumare who holds place while another Orisha is being called.
Oshumare's colors are green and yellow or rainbow. Sunday is a sacred day for spiritual workings involving Him/Her.
Oshumare's children are quiet and gentle people. They rarely speak, but when they do you'd best listen carefully. It is easy to confuse Oshumare's children with Obatala children. Oshumare children tend to be quieter.
Grand rising!
