Description
Ogun Candle is used in Santeria to honor Ogun, the orisha of iron, labor, warfare, tools, and raw determination. Ogun governs strength through effort, cutting through obstacles, and the power to build, defend, and enforce boundaries. The Ogun Candle is worked when decisive action, endurance, and unbreakable resolve are required.
The candle is commonly used for protection, justice, employment, physical labor, legal struggles, and situations that demand courage and persistence. Ogun is called upon to clear what stands in the way—not gently, but efficiently—and to fortify the practitioner with discipline and focus. He is especially respected by those who work with their hands, rely on tools, or face ongoing struggle that requires stamina rather than speed.
Before lighting, the Ogun Candle is prepared with direct intention and respect. Petitions are clear and practical, stating exactly what must be overcome or secured. Offerings such as rum, cigars, palm oil, cooked food, or iron objects may be placed nearby, acknowledging Ogun’s connection to metal, work, and sacrifice. Prayers are spoken firmly and honestly, without exaggeration or deceit.
An Ogun Candle should be worked with seriousness and accountability. In hoodoo, Ogun responds to effort and integrity—he strengthens those who are willing to work, fight when necessary, and stand their ground. When properly honored, Ogun cuts away obstacles, defends what is rightfully yours, and empowers lasting, hard-won success.
