Aganju Collares Elekes

Aganju, Agayu Collares Elekes

Aganju, the orisha of volcanoes and wilderness is an incredibly powerful orisha. So powerful that in the Yoruba faith, he is known for his control over volcanos, the wilderness, and the earth itself. 

He is also a renowned warrior king from the present day Oyo State, and is said to walk with a sword and fight by shooting fire (unlike Shango who fight using thunderstorms and lightning). 

Due to this power, Aganju is a force of life that overcomes obstacles. He is the defender of the helpless and enslaved, and bearer of burdens. Aganju forms the foundation on which societies are built. 

In some traditions, Aganju is said to be Chango's father, while in others, his brother.

In Santeria (Lucumi/Regla de Ocha), Aganju is synchronized with St. Christopher. 

In Candomble, Aganjú is worshiped as a manifestation or quality of the Orisha Shango, often called Xango Aganjú, representing all that is explosive and lacking control.
