Shango

Shango is an Orisha in the Yoruba religion, recognized as a powerful deity associated with thunder, lightning, fire, justice, and virility. Historically, he was the third Alaafin of the Oyo Kingdom, known for his strong leadership and military campaigns. Following his death, he was deified and remains a central figure in various Afro-diasporic practices, including Santería and Candomblé, where he is viewed as a symbol of strength and resistance. Worship of Shango is characterized by rituals that include offerings and festivals, particularly in regions influenced by Yoruba culture, such as Nigeria and parts of Latin America.
