Ogun is a primordial Orisha in Yoruba Religion. Ogun is often associated with attributes such as strength, iron, warfare, technology, tools, and craftsmanship. He is revered as a powerful and formidable warrior deity who aids and protects his devotees in times of conflict or challenge. Ogun is also seen as a patron of blacksmiths, artisans, and those who work with metals, as iron is a key symbol of his domain. His connection to iron reflects not only physical strength but also the transformative power of fire and metalworking. Ogun represents self mastery; mastery over environments 

Symbolism: Ogun is frequently depicted with a machete, symbolizing his role as a guide, who assists in navigating the struggles of life. This tool also alludes to his warrior trait, enabling him to vanquish hardships and safeguard those who venerate him.

Spiritual Characteristics: Ogun is known for his dedication, courage, and protective tendencies. He is respected for his ability to build pathways, conquer impediments, and overcome difficulties. Devotees appeal to Ogun for help and support when tackling adversities in their lives, be it emotional, physical, psychological, or spiritual.

Due to the transatlantic slave trade and subsequent dispersal of African peoples, Yoruba religion and its Orisha have influenced various diaspora religions, including Santería (Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic), Haitian Vodou, 21 Divisions (Haiti, Dominican Republic), Umbanda, Quimbanda, Candomblé (Brazil), and Lukumi (Cuba). In these syncretic traditions, Ogun is equated with similar deities or spirits in their pantheons, while retaining his core attributes and symbolism.

Other Names: Ogun or Ogoun in Yoruba Ògún. In Brazil: Ogum, Gu; Oggun; or Ogou. Known as Ogún or Ogum in Spanish speaking Latin American countries.
