Ogun: Orisha of Iron, War, and Unyielding Strength
Discover the myths, symbols, and enduring power of Ogun, the fierce Orisha of iron and war who inspires strength, justice, and resilience today.
The 7” Iron Cauldron for Ogun, or Caldero de Ogun, is a ceremonial vessel used in Santería and other Afro-Caribbean spiritual practices to honor Ogun—the Orisha of iron, labor, war, and transformation. Forged from solid iron, this medium-sized cauldron serves as both a spiritual container and a powerful symbol of Ogun’s unwavering strength. It is commonly filled with tools, chains, offerings, or ritual elements and placed on Ogun’s altar to invoke protection, perseverance, and breakthrough energy. The cauldron’s size makes it ideal for home altars while still commanding deep spiritual presence.
