Shango: The Thunder King

Shango is the Orisha of thunder, lightning, justice, and royal power — the fourth Alaafin
(king) of the Oyo Empire who was deified after his death and became one of the most
powerful and widely worshipped Orishas in the African diaspora. From the Yoruba
homeland of Nigeria to the Candomblé temples of Brazil, the Lucumí houses of Cuba, and
the Spiritual Baptist churches of Trinidad and Tobago, Shango's energy is felt wherever
justice is demanded and power is exercised.
Oluwo Jolaoso Osainbola — an initiated Ifa priest and founder of OrishaUniversity.com,
endorsed by the Araba Agbaye of Ile-Ife, Nigeria — presents the complete Shango corpus:
the historical records of the Oyo Empire, the Patakis that document Shango's life and
deification, the Odu of Ifa that speak of his power, his sacred implements and offerings, and
his role as the divine enforcer of cosmic justice.
Shango's message is eternal: truth has power, and those who stand in truth cannot be
destroyed.
