Powerful Invocation to the great Oggún with my words
Oggún Orisha Guerrero join me in this battle that I face, make my steps yours and take me by the hand so that I do not give up or lower my guard against my enemies.
I ask you, my father, that with your machete you unravel the skein of osogbos that do not allow me to advance and develop as I should, and bring to my path all the irreses that you consider I should deserve.
You who are the owner of iron, I beg you that metal never touches my body and if one day it does, it will be to save my life.
Orisha, owner of the operating room and protector of surgeons, I ask you to grant the sick health and the doctors clarity so as not to err in the diagnoses and procedures that they will carry out under the sacred precept of saving lives.
Oggún I ask you to grant me job stability to be able to honestly support my family, keep out of my way all the osogbos that could harm me and grant me serenity in the moments when anger clouds my sanity. Ashé.
