Orisha Chango 15" Yoruba Olodumare / Olorun

An Orisha (also spelled Orisa or Orixa) is a spirit or deity that reflects one of the manifestations of Olodumare (God) in the Yoruba spiritual or religious system. (Olodumare is also known by various other names including Olorun, Eledumare, Eleda and Olofin-Orun).

In the Yoruba religion, Sango (also spelled, Sango or Shango, often known as Xango or Chango in Latin America and the Caribbean, and also known as Jakuta) is the god of fire, lightning and thunder.

In the Lukumi (Olokun mi = "my dear one") religion of the Caribbean, Shango is considered the center point of the religion as he represents the Oyo people of West Africa, the symbolic ancestors of the adherents of the faith.
