How to ask the Oggún and Ochosi Warriors for their protection and help?

The best way to protect ourselves from the enemies and dangers that surround us, to ward off the bad energies that seek to harm us, to attract well-being and tranquility to our lives, and to surround ourselves with an immense spiritual shield, is to pray to Oggún and Ochosi, two warriors and friends whose union is extremely strong and their combined powers protect us from any evil.

These two Orishas are warriors and live together in the same cauldron, they are inseparable deities.

The union between the two saints, according to the Patakí, occurred due to the little ability that Ochosi had to destroy the animals of his farm, although he was very good at hunting with the bow and arrow. Oggún, upon seeing him, gave him an iron knife with which they shared their prey and became good friends.

What powers does he possess Oggún? The Lord of Metals and from work

Oggún is a major deity of the Yorub Pantheona, lord and master of iron. In life it symbolizes beginnings, the beginning, morning, spring, and also the powers of command, strength, violence and authority.

He is the patron Orisha of blacksmiths, wars, technology, army surgeons and anyone who works with metals. It represents the enormous virility in the human being and is a tireless warrior and worker.

He is the second Orisha to be received behind his brother Elegua and together with him, Ochosi and Osun, make up the group of Orisha Oddé, who are commonly known as Warriors.

Also, he is the watchdog of human beings and the ruler of wars. It can help us in love, work and surgery.

Requests and offerings to the Orisha del Hierro:

We ask Oggún, Lord of Metals, for protection against enemies, since it is the Orisha who is in charge of taking justice into his own hands and can give us strength to overcome difficulties and obstacles.

To pray to Oggún we must remember that the Orisha likes to be blown into brandy or rum and tobacco smoke.

Honey is also poured over it, and toasted corn, smoked hutía and smoked fish are offered as a way of serving it.

It is the thought that is capable of moving to any time and place to capture something and fight against injustices. He owns the forest and the game.

He is represented united with weapons and dominates the power of the bow and arrow. He is especially related to Oggún, for hunting and the mountains. They are both cared for in the metal cauldron in which they live.
