Ògún Lákáayé

2023 · 29 min

A hypnotic, ritualistic meditation that immerses you in mythic imagery and rhythm rather than narrative.

Overview: Ogun, the one who has influence over the world, the prince among the other Orixás. He who, despite having water, prefers to bathe in blood. The one who, despite having clothes, prefers to wear a swimsuit. The one who opened the way for the other Orixás when they came from Orun to Ayé. Iron symbolizes the manifestation of your strength, skills and power. He is the force that plows the land, the impulse for war, for copulation, for the opening of paths. The energy of focus and work that gives shape to our tools.
How it feels: Eerie, dark and earnest. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Power, faith, violence, identity
Content: Mild violence, gore and sexual content. No swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
