Hey we gonna have to start an omo Ogun club! I thank y'all for your kind words. I am humbled that i was able to create a reaction in you. ase. I am also omo Ogun, of course.
Growing up, I always was the guy who stood up for justice. If one of my buddies started a fight, I would let them get there butts kicked if they were wrong. I fought alot, always standing up for the underdog. It was misgiuded Ogun energy. Children of Ogun are usually called upon a lot for help, but don't receive much in return. The trick for omo Ogun is to channel that incessant energy into creative pursuits. I always did everything physical possible. Football, boxing, framing (carpentry). Now, although my organs are in very good shape, my joints, etc. are messed up. Misguided Ogun energy.
I wish someone would have told me why I was this way; would have saved me a lot of problems. So that's the point here. When children are born (in Yoruba tradition), there is a ritual in which it is divined under which Orisa they are living this life. In this way, the parents can better understand their children and help them understand themselves.
