Chango (Orisha)

An Orisha is an embodied divinity, reflective of a manifestation of the divine in the African Yoruba faith tradition. That expression carries over to a range of American cultural practices, from Santería to Candomblé, Trinidad Orisha to Oyotunji, displaying a richly diverse and passionate following.

Chango, honored as an Orisha upon his passing, is a formidable African deity. Originating from the Yoruba people of Nigeria and Benin, his fame has spanned lands and eras. Revered as the "King of Santeria", he's one of the most admired and respected Orishas, a master of sorcery and spell casting. He teaches us to foster a balanced lifestyle of fun and accountability. As the fourth king of the Yoruba Oyo Empire, Chango is renowned as the god of thunder, drumming, fire, and masculinity, and is celebrated for his joyous festivities. His pulsing thunder emulates his rhythmic beats on the drums. He is a pillar of Santeria alongside Oshun, Yemaya, and Obatala. Chango wooed different Orisha goddesses, including Oya, Oshun, and Obba, and is a valorous warrior who cherishes love.

Chango, a regally-crafted resinous figure, glows with sophistication, creating an elegant centerpiece that captivates the eye with its graceful silhouette and exquisite adornments. Its lavish grandeur elevates any home.
