# [[Awosi]] >*The Messenger; Master of Secrets; Guardian of Boundaries.* ![[Awosi.png|right lp|hsmall|invertb]] **Symbol:** A cross **Divine Concerns:** Trickery, secrets, crossroads. **Cleric Domains:** Arcana, Grave, Knowledge, Trickery, Twilight Awosi is the messenger of the [[Jangalori Religion|orixás]], a trickster always crossing between the [[Kamuria|Material World]] and the [[Spirit Realm]]. As a trickster, his unpredictability keeps both gods and mortals on their toes. Despite his mischievous nature, Awosi is a keeper of secrets and seen as a mediator, helping maintain balance among the other [[Jangalori Religion|orixás]] and the living. He is found in intersections of paths both literal and metaphorical, so crossroads, bridges, and cemeteries carry special significance in the rites of Awosi’s followers, which are usually diplomats, travelers, spies, gravediggers, and even entertainers. The role of Awosi in funeral rites has led to [[Lucian|Lucians]] equating Awosi with [[Vile Abaddon]], which lead to the persecution of followers of both [[Awosi]] and [[Saint Lavernia]].
