Product Details

A set of six hexagonal packs, twenty sticks each, for one hundred twenty incense sticks in total, made in India by Sree Vani.

Spiritual Significance

In Santeria and other Yoruba derived traditions, Ogun is the orisha of iron, metal, tools, labor, and war. He is the divine blacksmith and warrior who clears roads with his machete, the patron of all who work with their hands, with metal, or in dangerous trades, from ironworkers to surgeons to soldiers. Devotees turn to him for strength, courage, hard work, and the power to cut through obstacles by force of will, and they honor him with the colors green and black. Please note that orisha veneration is a living, initiatory tradition with its own protocols, and this incense is offered as one simple, respectful way to honor Ogun rather than a substitute for that practice. Burning a stick becomes an act of devotion and intention, working alongside your faith and practice rather than promising any particular outcome.

How to Use

1. Set a stick in a heat safe incense holder or ash catcher, near your Ogun shrine if you keep one.
2. Light the coated tip, let it catch, then gently fan out the flame so it smolders.
3. Offer the smoke with respect as you ask for strength or a path cleared, or simply honor Ogun.
4. Allow the ash to cool completely before disposing, and never leave burning incense unattended.
