Ògún (Oh-goon)

Overview

Great warrior, smith, and brewer, Ògún is a powerful Orisa. The god of war, of the hunt, and of ironworking, Ògún serves as the patron deity of blacksmiths, warriors, and all who use metal in their occupations. He also presides over deals and contracts; in fact, in Hikiri courts, devotees of the faith swear to tell the truth by kissing a machete sacred to Ògún. The Hikiri consider Ògún fearsome and terrible in his revenge; they believe that if one breaks a pact made in his name, swift retribution will follow.
