Prayer to Oggún to thank him from his natural temple «el Monte»

Prayers for the Orishas of the Yoruba pantheon We dedicate them when we have a specific request or wish to thank, and we must always go to them with honest intentions. 

In the case of prayers to Oggún, they are usually linked to affection, work or keeping negative people, enemies, envy and bad eyes away, because he is a powerful warrior.

• We can also pray to the Orisha to thank him for his blessings. 

How do we thank the Oggún Warrior?

Prayers to the deity may be performed on an altar intended for the veneration of Oggun, in a quiet space of our home or we can go to the mountains to look for it among the tranquility of the undergrowth. 

There, in a quiet space away from people who may interrupt us, we thank the warrior Oggún for his immense blessings, for his protection and support so that we can get ahead in life. 

We must always maintain a great deal of faith and trust that the Orisha Oggún will always help us overcome difficulties and obstacles that stand in our way.

We must also know that Oggún likes to always receive the gratitude of his devotees for the blessings he grants. 

We invoke the Lord of Metals to:

• Ask for protection and justice,
• beg him for prosperity and health
• always be grateful for that impulse and that strength that it gives us to overcome difficulties
• Offer gratitude for their help in overcoming obstacles that come our way and in overcoming fear.

Offerings and attentions that we can provide to the Patron of Metals:

Let us remember that it is also very important if we can offer to Oggún before making his prayers and we must always thank him for listening to our prayers.

• We must know that the Orisha likes to be blown with brandy or rum and tobacco smoke. 
• Honey is also poured on top, and roasted corn, smoked jutía and smoked fish are sprinkled on top as a way of serving it. 
• In the light of a white candle we dedicate all our faith and love to him.

If you want to know how to serve the Warriors, I recommend reading the following article:
