 Who
is Changó?
Changó is a warrior, the Orisha of
lightning, dance, passion, fire, lightning, thunder and
power. He is the epitome of all things masculine, and the
dispenser of vengeance on behalf of the wronged. He has the
power to help win wars, defeat enemies, and gain power over
others. He brings victory over your enemies and all
difficulties. Petition for domination and strength in all
matters,
to cleanse and renew a community and ensure victory over all
difficulties.
Changó was a royal ancestor of the Yoruba as
he was the third king of the Oyo Kingdom and deified after
his death. His colors are red and white, and his best known
symbol is the oshe, a double bladed axe. He is represented
under the colonial guise as St. Barbara, and is sometimes
associated with Vodou’s Petro Loa, Erzulie Dantor.
According to Yoruba and Vodou belief systems,
Changó hurls bolts of lightning at the people chosen to be
his followers, leaving behind imprints of stone axe blade on
the Earth's crust. Worship of Changó provides a great deal
of power and self-control. Changó altars often contain a
carved figure of a woman holding a gift to the god with a
double-bladed axe sticking up from her head. The axe
symbolizes that this devotee is possessed by Shango. The
woman's expression is calm and cool, for she is expressing
the qualities she has gained through her faith.
Changó has three wives. Because of her
excellent cooking, Oshun is his favorite. Oyá was Changó's
third wife, known for stealing the secrets of his powerful
magic.
As the legend is told, Changó had his own
house and each wife had her own house next to his. He would
visit his wives in their houses to eat and to sleep with
them. Oba noticed that when Changó went to Oshun’s home he
would eat all of the food that she prepared for him; yet,
when he came home to her he would just pick. Desiring a
closer relationship with her husband, Oba asked Oshun how
she kept Changó so happy. Oshun was offended by the inquiry
and became filled with resentment. For one, Oba's children
would inherit Changó's kingdom because they were his first
children. Oshun’s children would not have nearly the same
status, being born from his concubine. So, Oshun decided to
play a trick on Oba, out of jealousy. She told Oba that many
years ago she had cut a small piece of her ear off and dried
it. From this she made a powder that she would sprinkle on
Changó's food. Oshun told Oba that the more he ate, the more
he desired her. Excited by this information, Oba ran home to
prepare Changó's favorite meal. Once it was done, she
decided that if a little piece of Oshun's ear produced such
a great effect, her whole ear should drive Changó crazy with
desire for her and he would forget Oshun forever. So, Oba
sliced off her ear and stirred it into Changó's food. When
Changó came home, he sat down and began to eat without
looking at his dish. When he finally glanced down, he saw an
ear floating in the stew. Thinking Oba was trying to poison
him; Changó drove her from his house. Oba ran away crying,
and fell to earth to become a river where she is still
worshipped today. As an Orisha, Oba is the goddess of
marriage and is said to destroy marriages in which abuse
occurs.
