Prayer of gratitude to the great Chango Let's visit the Orisha at the foot of the palm!

Chango is the Orisha of justice, dance and virile strength. In nature it manifests itself through thunder, lightning and fire.

In the Yoruba religion, he is the owner of the Batá, Wemdamientos, Ilú Batá or Bembés drums, dance and music; and due to its characteristics, it symbolizes the joy of living, the intensity of life, masculine beauty, passion, intelligence and wealth.

To the God of Thunder Chango How do we invoke it?

It is important to keep in mind that when praying to Shango we should not hesitate or doubt, but know how to specify what is desired and ask firmly for this deity to listen to you.

To perform the prayer to Shango, the first thing that must be taken into account is the environment, we choose a moment of peace, without conflicts, it is best to do it while alone, in a secluded place, if possible in the middle of the field, at the foot of the palm, which is its sacred symbol.

The prayers have to be pronounced with a strong and clear voice, with true faith and love towards Shango, so that God hears us and illuminates our path.

To Shango, God of Thunder, Lightning and Lightning We must always thank him for his protection and help in defeating our enemies, for keeping away those who wish bad actions upon us and for destroying everything that tries to harm or damage us.

Offerings that the Orisha Guerrero appreciates:

To ask Shango we must bear in mind that he prefers as fruit offerings, bananas and apples, preferably red, the tone that represents him.
The King of the Yoruba Pantheon also likes strong, spicy or well-seasoned foods and his favorite dish is cooked cornmeal in various presentations.
In addition, she prefers these foods to be accompanied with red wine.

Before the Prayer to Chango we can invoke him by lighting a red or white candle in his name, and we pray to him to thank him for all the good he has given us in life and for the immense protection that he always gives us.
