Odù Ifá from AfricaÒgúndá




Ògún a deity of iron, war and metallurgy

Ògún + Dá = Ògún Creates / Made / Established / Brought Forth

But note also: Gún means Pierce / Jab / Penetrate / Stab / Kill

Fun fact: Spring energy, represented by Water (in WuDa) or Wood (in WuXing) is known for being Penetrative. And in the natural sunwise generative cycle of the WuDa & BaGua system we teach, Water generates (or Brings Forth) the Vapour of the Heavens. Thus, this Odù has a good name for representing the concept of Heaven from Water — ie, what the Penetrative (Gún) Brings Forth (Dá).
