A quick rundown of this product’s key features:
Ògún is the Spirit of Iron in the West African religious tradition called Ifá. The essence of Ògún is considered one of many Spiritual Forces in Nature which are called Orisha. There are a large number of Orisha and each Orisha has its own Awo. The unique function of Ògún within the realm of Orisha Awo (Mysteries of Nature) is to remove all obstacles that stand in the way of Spiritual evolution, which includes the evolution of all that is. In order to do this Ògún must sacrifice all that stands in the way of spiritual evolution. Because of these sacred responsibility Ògún is considered the Guardian of Truth. Ògún does not protect the truth of what we would like to be, he guards the truth of what is. It is the process of making this distinction that lies at the core of Ògún’s mystery.
This title is part of a series of eight booklets about the Orisha by Awo FᒠLokun Fátunmbi. Please feel free to write us and tell us which of the Orisha you would like to know more about.

Title: Good information in a short book.
Review: I respect Awo Fa’Lokun Fatunmbi and have enjoyed all of his short books on the Orishas. However, in trying to explain all of the facets of Ogun, the author focuses a lot of attention on Ogun’s bloody aspects while trying not to do that. As Ogun is the Orisha responsible for civilization, he embodies all of the aspects of civilization: violence as well as the advances of medicine, etc. That said, “Ogun: Ifa and the Spirit of Iron” is a great introduction to Ogun.
