Ogun is the Orisha of iron, war, labor, and technology in the Yoruba tradition. He is a powerful warrior and protector, known for his strength, determination, and ability to clear obstacles. As the master of metal and craftsmanship, he governs tools, weapons, and innovation. Ogun is often called upon for protection, courage, and success in work and battle. He is associated with the colors green and black and is honored with offerings of rum, iron, and red palm oil. His energy is fierce, but he also provides discipline and guidance to those who seek his aid.
