TRIBUTE TO OGUN by lawani: 9:50am On Dec 25, 2015
All men are incarnations of Ogun, the Orisa that led the other Orisas to Earth. Daring, Innovation, Initiative, Bravery, Courage, Leadership, Adventure. Most of all that is needed to push humanity forward is embedded in Ogun, the male essence. Ogun is full of adrenaline and a sense of urgency. He performed circumcision on himself when his sperm would not come out quickly enough while having sexual intercourse with Olure his wife, being the origin of male circumcision, he also performed circumcision on his wife to remove an intrusive bit of wood being the origin of female circumcision. Because men are stronger, don't get pregnant and etc, most of the task of moving humanity forward falls on them. You have to wake up the Ogun in you to do this. You have to connect to the Ogun. A good recitation performed frequently to venerate Ogun will suffice to keep you on the edge.

ORIKI OGUN

Ogun de o
Ariwo ta!
Sara keke, Ogun de
Oluwa mi Awewu ija
Oluwa mi Awewu Ogun
Oluwa mi Awewu Ola
Lakaye Iba re o!

Nijoti Ogun nti ikole orun bo waye
Aso ina lo fi bora, Ewu eje lo wo
Ogun onile owo, Olona ola
Ogun Aye ni nro irin, ni nro oje, ni nro baba.
Ogun Orun, Aje ni nro
Orisa to ba ni ti Ogun ko s i
Yio fi enu e bo isu je

Won ni ki nbo Ogun
M o ti bo o!

Aja ki ja omo lehin ekun
Ogun ma ma je nja lehin re o!
Ma je a ja lehin re o!
Ase Olodumare.


Translation

Ogun is here
To a thunderous applause
Get your acts together!, Ogun is here
My Lord is ready for struggle
My Lord is ready for war
Laakaye, I pay homage to you.

The day Ogun was coming from heaven to Earth, his garment was of fire, his garment was of blood.

Ogun, very prosperous in lands and money.
The Ogun on Earth smelts iron, lead, copper, bronze.
The Ogun in heaven smelts money/wealth.
Any Orisa that does not pay homage to Ogun will peel yams with the mouth.

I was asked to sacrifice/ pay tribute to Ogun.
I have now sacrificed/paid the tribute.

A dog can not snatch a cub from a lion or a leopard.
Ogun, may I never be snatched from you!
May we never be snatched from you!
Ase Olodumare.

All ancient human cultures are kindred. Only the demonic practices of Christianity and Islam are alien.
