ORISHA ṢÀNGÓ | XANGÔ | SHANGO

JUSTICE, HONESTY, WILLPOWER, FIRMEZA, STURDINESS

The Orisha Shango represents the power of presence. He is the archetype of the brave warrior who imposes respect just with the vibration of his own being. Shango represents the end of the road. He will be there sitting in his Fire Throne to face life without fear. In one side of his Throne sits a lion. In the other side he has a huge double headed axe. Behind his Throne you will see an majestic wall of rocks and above his Throne lightning strikes constantly. The thunder is the sound of his voice. In his actions you will find the scale of the right Justice always balanced by the Peace of Oshala.
