Ogun
Ogun represents pure strength en irresistable force. In the diaspora his color is red, while in Africa it tends to be green. Ogun is known for his raw and often uncontrolled power and, sad to say, violence. Thankfully he's a bit shy, and prefers living in the jungle over mingling with us humans... this avoids misunderstandings, because Ogun is a very straightforward thinker and human intricacies and mind fucks tend to confuse him. Straightforward and hoinest, that's what I would call Ogun.
Ogun is one of the more or less "universal" Orishas, worshipped in just about every branch, nook and cranny of the Ifa-Orisha world, especially the diaspora. In certain places in Nigeria like Ondó, Ipólé and Irè Ekìtì, he is traditionally seen as the deity who does everything for his worshippers instead of just being a contact point between them and Olodumare.
