This text is a continuing of the post from July 25 | Sango.
The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, this fear give rise to the spiritual and divine invocation and communications to a divinity called SANGO, one of the primary and most complex emotions known in the jungle of life is the emotion of fear. In regard to Olodumare, this emotion has lost its energy because of the fear you have in the being called Olodumare. In regard to Sango it’s energy reaches its climax and raises the emotion to the level of complete terror and dread. No deity is more dreadful in the religion of Omo Odua for its malevolence as Sango, the god of thunder, lightening and fire. The first name given to Sango is known as Jakuta, that is “the stone thrower”, or “the fighter with stone” . How did he use the name Jakuta, according to the myth in Ejiogbe.
The five great divinities gathered together to choose a day for their devotee to adore and to sing the song of praise to Olodumare through them. Indeed, Obatala chose the first day, know as ojo Taala tabi ojo obatala, orunmila chose the second day name ojo Ifa, Ogun chose the third day named as Ojo alakaiye osin imole, Esu was not asked to choose any date because of his mischevious and cunning manner, out of annoyance Esu went on to inform Sango about the secret plan of the three divinities. Sango rushed to the meeting and threw stone at them to show his anger against the three divinities. The three implored him to stop throwing stone and they explained and begged him for the occurrence. Indeed, Sango accepted their plea and the fourth day was given to him as the day of Jakuta Based on the action of through throwing stone at them during the chosen of holly days for each great ORISAS.
Indeed, within ORISA. We have only four days. That make a week days. Ojo obatala. Ojo Ifa. Ojo Ogun and Ojo Jakuta.
However, Each of these days must used to pray or to offer sacrifice to each of the great divinities to attract to their vibration, support and guidance.
Indeed, Sango name is synonymous with anger, hate and worry. Hence those who worry much and whose anger is constant and hate and fear are great, those who cannot have last long solid relationship with friend, family and parents Should employ and adopt Sango as his guiding ORISA or Irunmole that is ruling his or her destiny.
Sango symbolizes total domination, victory and power to overcome terror Fear and dread.
We shall continue next time.
