How to ask the warrior Oggún for help? Attentions, prayers and offerings

We ask the Lord of Irons for clarity to see the best opportunities for personal growth on our way.

We also ask you with your immense strength to protect us from all evil and all negative intentions that point in our direction.

What powers does Oggún represent in the Rule of Osha or Santeria?

Oggún is an older Orisha, brother of Monkey y ElegguaHe is the god of minerals, mountains and tools and as such, patron of blacksmiths, mechanics, engineers, physical chemists and soldiers.

He is a powerful and violent warrior, with immense powers that fundamentally accompany devotees who begin their spiritual path.

But he is also a tireless worker who symbolizes the gatherer, the lonely hunter and wanderer who roams the forest and knows all the secrets. He is a witch and dominates the mysteries of the mountain.

He is the owner of keys, chains and prisons and manages to represent qualities such as rough and initial strength, which encloses the box of the human body.

Although he is a warrior and a symbol of battles, he also protects medicine. Therefore he gives his protection against accidents and helps his devotees along the way.

Oggún is the owner of the mountain together with Oshosi and has complete control over the roads with Eleggua.
He has a direct relationship with Obatalá and is highly respected for his great temperament, vigor, and endurance.
It is he who takes justice into his own hands and protects all the entrances to houses and temples.
Normally he is associated with Saint Peter in the Catholic religion, since the image of this saint shows that in his hands the keys to the kingdom of heaven.
