Seek the protection of the King of Thunder, the great Shangó, king of Yoruba Pantheon, is always necessary to avoid dangers, trips, obstacles and problems.
In these difficult times that humanity is going through, the children and followers of Shangó direct prayers and prayers to him to avoid the consequences of wars, to ask for his protection in the face of the challenges he embodies.
We Cubans ask the Lord of Fire, Thunder and Music, in syncretism with Santa Bárbara, Virgen del Rayo, powerful protector of all those who go to war.
Santa Bárbara, patron saint of the artillery weapon, watches over the soldiers who cross the battlefield every day. We also pray to her for the end of conflicts and confrontations.
To the great Orisha of war we dedicate prayers for peace
Changó commands battles, conflicts and wars, he is the deity that brings victory and manages to overcome the worst obstacles, he is a great leader who opens the paths in the midst of adversity.
And it is that Shangó is a warrior Osha, recognized as one of the kings in the Yoruba Religion and one of the most popular and adored Orishas.
It represents the joy of living and the intensity of life, but also for believers it is a powerful father to whom they cling for protection and for the strength and wisdom to face obstacles and adversity.
Shangó and Santa Bárbara are united by a cult of protection, of devotees who seek bravery, courage and wisdom.
His followers also ask for lightning protection against any danger or evil that lies in wait for them.
Offerings and traditions in the name of this deity yoruba
To pray to the God of Thunder, we must know that:
- He likes strong, spicy or well-seasoned foods.
- He loves bananas and apples (specifically red).
