Orisa (\u00d2r\u00ecs\u00e0) of lightning and thunder, of bravery and strength, maximum representative of male virility. The Orisha Shango (S\u00e0ng\u00f3) is one of the most important of the Yoruba religion and also one of the best known and popular in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Yoruba (Yorub\u00e1) belief, there are two Shango (s\u00e0ng\u00f3), but only one of them is orisha: the one that was sent by Olodumare to earth at the time of creation, endowing him with the power of lightning and thunder. The second was the first follower of the Orisha, known as S\u00e0ng\u00f3 T\u00e8lla-\u00f2k\u00f2 and I the third Al\u00e0\u00e1fin, whose title is received by the king of Oy\u00f3, who until today assumes the representation of S\u00e0ng\u00f3 on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Yoruba history, S\u00e0ng\u00f3 T\u00e8ll\u00e0-\u00f2k\u00f2 was a strong warrior and was considered a physical reincarnation of the Orisha Shango (S\u00e0ng\u00f3), due to his mythical powers used by the energy of lightning and storms. He was the son of \u00d2r\u00e0nm\u00edy\u00e0n with T\u00f2ros\u00ed from the city of Tapa; the founder of the Oy\u00f3 empire, the youngest of Od\u00f9duw\u00e0’s grandchildren. He was a brave and powerful man who inherited most of his special abilities from the Nupe, his mother’s people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his life, the third Al\u00e0\u00e1fin had five wives, but only three were closer to him: Ob\u00e1; Osun and Oda, the closest; The latter was a spirit, which had the power to transform from human to animal and also the power to summon storms and hurricane force winds. Thus, together with the rays of S\u00e0ng\u00f3, they had excellent victories in battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Yoruba legend, T\u00e8ll\u00e0-\u00f2k\u00f2 disappeared in K\u00f2so after he disappeared in K\u00f2so after batting the earth and leaving behind the lightning bolt removed from his own body. Today K\u00f2so is an urban district of Oy\u00f3, one of the most sacred places in the city, where the spirit of S\u00e0ng\u00f3 lived thousands of years ago. There is no Allah in \u00d2y\u00f3 to be crowned without performing all the coronation rites within the K\u00f2so temple. The Mogb\u00e0 K\u00f2so plays a crucial role in the royal succession, as it is the guardian of the ancient sanctuary of S\u00e0ng\u00f3 K\u00f2so and The ancestral Crown of S\u00e0ng\u00f3, being responsible for the coronation of the new king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every year the El\u00e9g\u00fan S\u00e0ng\u00f3 K\u00f2so, the living incarnation of the Orisha Shango (S\u00e0ng\u00f3), symbolizing spiritual immortality, is presented at the K\u00f2so temple on the last day of the annual S\u00e0ng\u00f3 festival- According to the rite of celebrations, El\u00e9g\u00fan S\u00e0ng\u00f3 K\u00f2so will tour the city chaired by the Babalorisa and accompanied by the followers and at midnight he will continue towards the Al\u00e1\u00e0fin palace, at which time the king and all people who have a title in the palace must leave the premises because in that moment the Orishas is present and he is the only king of \u00d2y\u00f3 that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the occasion of the most important day of the most important day of this Orisha in Oy\u00f3, today in If\u00e1 Tradicional Pro and in Oj\u00fa Od\u00f9, there is special information about their representation and some materials for their own propriation, in addition to special verses and exclusive images of the presence of the El\u00e9g\u00fan S\u00e0ng\u00f3 K\u00f2so today in \u00d2y\u00f3.<\/p>\n"},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
