Aganyu (Aganyu or Aganju) is the mighty Orisha of volcanoes, the earth’s core, deserts, and untamed strength. He embodies raw power, stability, and the fiery foundation of creation itself. In Yoruba tradition, Aganju is often seen as the father of Shango or closely linked to Shango, representing the solid ground and volcanic fire beneath Shango’s thunderous might. He is depicted as a regal, dark-skinned warrior king with an unmovable presence, crowned in molten colors of red, orange, and black like burning magma. Aganju governs over mountains, lava, and ancient lands, helping clear obstacles with unstoppable force while grounding one’s spirit in deep ancestral strength. He teaches resilience, dominion over chaos, and the mastery of primal energies that fuel life and destruction alike.
