Ogún is the orisha of iron, war, and the work that requires cutting through. Same respect-to-tradition rules. Honor with metal.
she reminds you
this is a living, initiatory tradition — the Orisha are not yours to command. if she calls you, seek a real elder and proper initiation. read, listen, and do not appropriate the rites.
