The blacksmith of heaven, as he is known, was responsible for bringing progress to humanity through the creation and manufacture of tools and technologies that enabled humanity to develop agriculture, warfare, and society as a whole. Ogun is the ability to organize and execute your projects for the betterment of the community and yourself. There is no progress without planning, no victory without battles, and none of this is possible without Ogun. Ogun teaches us to choose carefully the wars we face and to be strategic in combating the wars imposed upon us. Keeping our Ori in balance and always aligned with Ogun is the first step to bringing us and our loved ones the progress we so desire. Ogun yé mòye pàtàkì láíláí.
